Page 147 of 194
Navigation (NAV) 142Av o id   ro u t eYou can select this function once calculated route guidance 
is active.
–Press the Route control button in the navigation menu.
– Select Avoid route from here page 139, fig.145.
– By rotating and pressing the control knob, select the 
section on the presently calculated route from the 
vehicle position.

you wish to avoid.The Navigation System will calculate an alternative route for the 
section of the route you wish to avoid.

Tips
If the Avoid route from here fun ction is  greyed out or the Na vig a-
tion System does not calculate an alternate route, local conditions 
are making this impossible.
If the recommended detour route is not followed, the system 
automatically calculates a new route from the current position 
without given further consideration to the previously closed 
section.

If light grey lines 
fig.149 are shown on the map display, this 
means that IPD sections/areas are being shown. IPD means “in-
progress-data”, i.e data collection is incomplete and consequently 
they cannot be included for route guidance. These IPD 
sections/areas are on the Navigation DVD and are represented on

will guid e you up to the  star t of the IPD area. In the IPD area you will 
be guided by directional arrows.
If your route guidance includes an IPD area, you will be advised of 
this by a voice message when route guidance starts (“It is possible 
that there a re un fore seen tra ffic reg ulations on the way to the des ti-
nation.”).
Tips
Route guidance is additionally shown by directional arrows in the 
instrument cluster display 
page 113 or

area, the directional arrows in the instrument cluster display point 
in the compass direction/a direct line to the destination.
