Route guidanceOverviewWhen route guidance is started, the route is calculated in accordance with the 
selected route options page 74.
In the case of very long journeys, it may take up to a minute to calculate the 
route. A progress bar is displayed during route calculation. With navigation 
from a CD, route calculation takes considerably longer than with navigation 
from a memory card  page 49.
When the calculation is complete, the display automatically switches to the 
map view. You will now be guided to your chosen destination by announce-
ments and visual recommendations  page 76.
After route guidance to a destination has been started, it is possible to enter 
one  additional stopover destination, which you will be guided to before 
heading for the final destination  page 73.
You can call up information on the next destination you are heading to and a 
list of the route sections of your current journey (route list)  page 79.
You can manually exclude individual route sections in the route list from your 
journey, for instance, in response to reported traffic congestion. The route will 
then be recalculated  page 79.
If dynamic route guidance is enabled in the route options, traffic reports 
received via TMC will be taken into account in the calculation of the route. If 
traffic congestion is reported on the route, a new route will be calculated 
automatically if the navigation system determines that this will save time 
 page 80.
Entering a stopover destination
It is possible to enter an additional destination as a “stopover 
destination” while route guidance is in progress. You will be 
guided to the stopover destination before route guidance 
continues to the “final destination”.A stopover destination can only be entered during active route guid-
ance.
– Select a destination and start route guidance as described 
page 58.
– Press the   function selection button to open the the  Naviga-
tion  main menu.
– Then select an additional destination as a stopover destination  as described  page 58.

Contents of the map view
The 
 symbol indicates the vehicle's position and heading page 76, 
fig. 67 .
During route guidance the navigation route is shown as a blue line. The next 
road to take is displayed in the top line of the screen.
While the function buttons are not displayed  page 76, fig. 68 , the road you 
are currently on appears in the bottom line.
The remaining distance to  the final destination is displayed next to 
 on the 
left in the bottom line of the screen and, depending on the settings, either the 
expected time of arrival or the remaining driving ti me is displayed on the right 
next to 
\f   page 83, “Changing the time display”.
Shortly before you reach a turning point, a turning arrow appears on the left 
of the screen indicating the direction to turn. The distance to the turning point 
is displayed below it.
If the vehicle position symbol 
 turns grey and the map view stops moving, 
the unit is currently unable to determine the vehicle's exact position (for 
example, in a car park).
Navigation announcements during the journey
You will hear the first announcement after the route has been calculated, for 
example, “Follow the layout of the road”. Up to three announcements will be 
made before a turn has to be made to ensure that you are informed in time, 
for example, “Approaching left turn”, “Turn left in 1000 feet” and “Now turn 
left”.
The distances indicated depend in large part on the type of road on which you 
are driving. On motorways, the first announcement is given some 2,000  
metres before an exit.
On multiple-lane roads that fork, the corresponding messages are emitted, 
for example, “Approaching left turn” and then “Now turn left”.
Some 1000 feet before entering a roundabout, you will be told which exit to 
use, for example, “Leave at the second exit”. In a roundabout, the indication  may be “Turn at the second right”. In the case of a large roundabout, a third 
announcement “Turn right now” will be given while you are on the rounda-
bout.
When you reach your destination, you will hear the announcement: “You have 
reached the destination”.
If the option “Dynamic route” is ticked in the route options, you will be 
informed of any reported traffic congestion along your route 
page 74. You 
will receive an additional announcement if the route is recalculated due to 
traffic congestion  page 80.
A corresponding message will be given if you have manually excluded route 
sections  page 79.
Settings for audible navigation indications
During a navigation announcement, you can change the volume using the 
volume control  page 3, fig. 1    up to a defined minimum or maximum 
volume. Subsequent audible indica tions will be emitted at that volume.
You can also adjust or switch off the preset navigation announcement volume 
in the  Navigation  settings menu  page 82 or in the menu for volume 
settings  page 12 or even suppress the sound.
WARNING
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when following the 
recommendations made by your radio and navigation system.•It is fundamental that you are sufficiently alert while driving. Any 
distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.•Always observe the safety information on the use of the navigation 
system  page 47.

The current TMC traffic reports can be displayed in a listpage 84, “TRAF 
function selection button”.
Representation of traffic congestion on the map
Traffic problems received via TMC that affect your route will be displayed on 
the map with a colour symbol. Traffic congestion that is not on the route is 
shown on the map by a grey symbol.
Generally understood symbols are used to indicate the type of traffic conges-
tion (e.g. an “overturned vehicle” for accident). The positioning of the TMC 
symbol indicates which direction is affected by the congestion.
If there is reported congestion on the route, the affected route section is 
coloured red. If the reported congestion is not on the route, the affected 
section of road is coloured grey. If route guidance is not active, all traffic 
congestion will be coloured grey.
Dynamic navigation
When dynamic navigation is switched on, you will be automatically diverted 
during route guidance to avoid reported traffic congestion on your route if it 
is calculated that the diversion will save time  page 81, “Conditions for 
dynamic navigation”.
Once a traffic report that is relevant for your route has been received, a 
spoken announcement will be made to inform you that the route is being 
recalculated to take traffic reports into account.
A similar announcement is also given if any traffic congestion that was taken 
into account in the original route calculation has disappeared and it has now 
become possible to take a more favourable route.
Conditions for dynamic navigation
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data system for the  constant 
transmission of traffic reports.
The unit is constantly supplied with TMC traffic reports in the background, 
provided that a TMC station can be received at the current location. The quality of the traffic reports sent depends on the radio station broad-
casting them. The reception of TMC traffic reports cannot be switched on or 
off.
You do not have to listen to the TMC station.
The radio-navigation system can only process and store TMC traffic reports if 
the unit has access to navigation data for the area you are currently travelling 
through 
page 49.
The current TMC traffic reports can be viewed by pressing the   function 
selection button  page 84.
Note
•In some situations, you may find that a diversion based on the TMC infor-
mation does not save you time as the alternative route is also congested.•You can also exclude an upcoming section of the route manually if traffic 
congestion ahead has not  yet been recorded by TMC traffic reports 
 page 79.
