NAV mode (Navigation)
Introductory information
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations orchange the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommenda-tions can only then be re-transmitted.
In regions that are not or only partially digitalised and stored on the navigationDVD, the radio navigation system will continue to try to provide guidance to thedestination. Please note that under these circumstances the guidance to the des-tination may not be completely correct if, for example, one-way streets and roadcategories (motorway, country road, etc.) are not or only partially included in thenavigation data used.
When entering an address (city, street), only those letters or symbols which makeup a logical entry will be presented. A list of possible names will be shown. Do notforget to enter the blank space in names made up of more than one word, suchas High Wycombe.
The last voice output can be repeated by pressing the button or the menu button

. The volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed whilst it is beingmade.
The GPS satellites will not be able to reach the aerial if you are in a tunnel or un-derground garage. In these cases, the unit uses only the vehicle's sensors and aninternal gyroscope for navigation.
WARNING■Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! Driver inattention canlead to accidents and injuries. As the driver you are fully responsible for roadsafety. Only use the functions of the radio navigation system in such a waythat you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!

The following must always have priority over the driving recommendations:
■the road traffic legislation, even if the driving recommendations contradictthe StVO,■the actual acknowledgement of traffic signs, light signals or signs placedby the police at the relevant location,■the facts and circumstances prevailing at the relevant location.
WARNING (Continued)■Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.■Traffic signs and traffic regulations always have priority over the driving rec-ommendations provided by the navigation system.

Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to informationrelating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored in the navigation da-ta. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and stop-ping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is not in-cluded in the radio navigation system.

Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. No not letyourself be tempted by the radio navigation system, for example, to drive toofast in the fog – risk of accident!

Only if the traffic situation allows it should you operate the radio navigationsystem with its wide range of possibilities.

The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situations,e.g. due to road works or out of date navigation data. In such a case, alwaysobserve the traffic regulations and ignore the driving recommendations.

Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirensfrom vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and firebrigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.
Note
■It is not necessary to enter the destinations (country, city, road, point of interestnames) including all country-specific (or language-specific for points of interest)special characters.

Depending on the country, some functions of the radio navigation system canno longer be selected on the screen at certain speeds. This is not a malfunction,but corresponds to the legal requirements of the particular country.

Navigation data and the memory card
The navigation data are already available after the memory of the radio naviga-tion system is switched on first and can be used directly for navigation.
Update navigation data

Remove the mechanical copy protection from the memory card.

Dynamic route guidance with TMC use
Requirements for a dynamic route guidance
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data service for continuous trans-
mission of traffic information.
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. Received TMC traffic reports are shown in a list » page 24, Displaying TMC traffic reports .
The quality of the transmitted traffic reports depends on the traffic editing car- ried out by the radio station. The reception of the TMC traffic reports cannot be
switched on or off.
The station you are listening to does not have to be a TMC station.
When the function Dynamic Route » page 20
, Settings in the (NAV) Navigation
mode is activated and the radio navigation system calculates a time advantage
for driving around the traffic disruption along the route, an alternative route is
calculated automatically.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and displayed by the unit if the naviga-
tion data for the currently driven area is stored in the unit's memory or can be re-
trieved from an inserted navigation DVD.
The current TMC traffic reports can be displayed by pressing the range selectorkey TMC
.
Traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are displayed in the map
by means of a coloured symbol. Traffic problems, which do not affect the route,
are displayed in the map by means of a grey symbol. The positioning of the TMC
symbol shows the beginning of a traffic disruption and the direction, when the
TMC traffic report is able to clearly define both.
When the function Dynamic Route » page 20, Settings in the (NAV) Navigation
mode is activated and the radio navigation system calculates a time advantage
for driving around the traffic disruption along the route, an alternative route is
calculated automatically.
When recalculating the route, a corresponding navigation announcement is out-
put. The same announcement is made when there was a traffic disruption in the
original route calculation which has since been removed.
Note
■ Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.■
If a traffic disruption was not yet entered via the TMC traffic reports, route dis-
ruptions can also be entered manually » page 22, Manually blocking a stretch of
the route .

Displaying TMC traffic reports
TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance whenthere are traffic disruptions » page 23, Dynamic route guidance with TMC use
You can browse through all the traffic information received in the detailed dis-play, in sequence by using the function keys.
Press the button TMC - displays a list of current traffic reports
■Details - display the details for a selected traffic report
Press the button  - displays the name of the TMC station currently being re-ceived.
Traffic problems are illustrated in the detailed display and in the map by a corre-sponding symbol. The direction, in which the traffic problem is found in the map,is displayed in colour. A traffic problem which is located on the route (in directionof travel) is marked in red, a traffic problem in the opposite direction is marked ingrey.
Note
■If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listeningto does not have to be a TMC station.

TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation sys-tem when navigation data are available for the driven area.

The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted trafficreports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for thecontent.

TMC traffic reports are necessary for the dynamic route guidance.

Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.
