Traffic information
Overview
In many congested areas,
you can receive traffic
information that is transm itted by radio stations.
The traffic conditions are monitored by traffic
control centers and the traffic information is
updated periodically.
During route guidance, the traffic information
relevant to the route you are planning to take is
automatically shown and taken into account in
route planning. Irrespective of whether route
guidance is active, you can have the traffic infor-
mation displayed in the map display or as an
event list.
The symbol in the toolbar of the map view
turns red if traffic inform ation relates to the cal-
culated route.

General information
In semi-dynamic route guidance systems,
detour suggestions by the navigation system
can be added manually. In dynamic route guid-
ance systems, they are au tomatically included in
the route guidance.
Semi-dynamic route guidance
With traffic information reception switched on,
semi-dynamic route gu idance is active.
The system takes into account the existing traffic
information du ring route guidance. A message is
displayed as a function of the route, the traffic
information, an d the possible alternate routes.
When there are obstructions to traffic, an alter-
nate route is provided. The difference in dis-
tance and time between the original route and
the alternate route are also displayed.

Dynamic route guidance
The route is automatically changed in the event
of traffic obstructions.
>The system will not point out traffic obstruc-
tions on the original route.
> Traffic information will continue to be dis-
played on the map.
> Depending on the type of road and the
nature and length of the traffic obstruction,
the route can also be calculated so that you
travel through the traffic obstruction.
> Certain hazards are displayed regardless of
the setting.

>The current position cannot be displayed?
The position is in an unrecognized region, in
a poor reception area, or the system is in the
process of determining the position. Recep-
tion is best when you have an unobstructed
view to the sky.
> The route guidance does not accept an
address without the street name?
A downtown area cannot be determined for
the town or city that has been entered. Input
any street in the select ed town/city and start
route guidance.
> The route guidance does not accept a desti-
nation?
The destination data is not contained in the
navigation data. Select a destination that is
as close as possible to the original.
> The letters for a de stination cannot be
selected during destination entry?
Stored data do not contain the data of the
destination. Select a de stination that is as
close as possible to the original.
> The map view is displayed in grayscale?
When the traffic info map is activated, the
picture on the Control Display is switched to
a grayscale. This permits an optimized
depiction of traf fic information.
> Voice instructions ar e no longer issued
before intersections du ring route guidance?
The area has not been fully recorded yet, or
you have left the recommended route and
the system requires a few seconds to calcu-
late a new route suggestion.
> The navigation system does not react to
entries?
If the battery was disconnected, it takes
about 10 minutes before the system is once
again operational.
