Description of the navigation system
Preface to navigation
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Main menu
51
Navigation data
52
First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Important
notes .
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite system for navigation.
The satellite signal allows you to determine your current vehicle position.
If the unit is outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegeta-
tion, in tunnels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions
using on-vehicle sensors.
Navigation is done: › by graphical instructions in device display screen and in the display of the in-
strument cluster;
› by announcements.
The navigation unit can be operated: › using the buttons on the unit
» page 51;
› using the function keys in the unit screen
» page 51;
› using voice control
» page 17.
› via the display of the instrument cluster
» page 14 .
WARNING■
E.g. information about traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and
stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions or speed restrictions is not
detected for navigation by the device.■
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather conditions.
■
The nav. announcements provided may vary from the actual situations, e.g.
due to road works or out-of-date navigation data.
■
The volume should be adjusted to ensure that acoustic signals from outside,
e.g. sirens from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambu-
lance and fire brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.
CAUTION
In some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the vehicle
is running faster than a certain speed. These limitations comply with national le-
gal requirements.

Some address positions are already pre-filled with the data of the last destina-
tion.
The pre-filled positions can be adjusted by touching the item and then adjusting
it in the input screen » page 9.
To start navigation, you need to enter country, city and street.
The information is entered step by step in individual input screens.
When entering the street, instead of a street name, it is possible to select thecentre of the entered city by touching Centre. Then it is no longer necessary to
enter the house number or junction.
When entering the address, the function key Map is displayed on the input
screen » page 9 . When you press the function key, the system opens a screen
with the map » page 61 where you can specify the address more precisely or
check it.
You need to enter both the building number and a further address indicator in the form of a number. The device displays a list of destinations found from combina-
tions of the two numbers.
If the entered house number was not found, a menu opens to clarify the destina-
tion:
■ No house number - Enter an address without a house number and display a
menu with destination details
■ Nearest house number: - Confirmation of the proposed house number
■ Enter junction - Open a menu with junctions with the selected street

Route calculation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 67.
The route is calculated automatically according to the entered destination. The
calculation takes the settings of the route options » page 53 (route type, dynamic
route, etc.) into account.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Nav. announcements
can only then be re-transmitted.
If Demo mode is switched on » page 54, a prompt appears asking whether you
want the guidance to start in demo mode or normal mode.
Demo mode provides a travel simulation to the entered destination. It offers the
chance to travel the calculated route “virtually” on the device screen.
If an alternative route option is set, function keys are displayed, following the cal- culation, for the route types with information on the route length and the expec-ted travelling time.
Route Type
economically
quickly
short
Selecting the route type will start route guidance. After the route has been calculated, additional information specific to the selec-ted route is displayed on the function keys for the route types » page 53, e.g., use
of motorways 
, Toll roads 
and the like.
If the option for alternative routes is disabled, the route is calculated and route
guidance is started according to the preferred route » page 53.
It is possible to select a pre-calculated route before the calculation of the remain- ing routes is completed.
The unit tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data is in-
complete or there is no data at all for the given area (e.g., one-way streets, road
types, etc.).
Interrupt and continue route guidance
If the ignition is switched off and on again and the key was left in the ignition (in
vehicles with the KESSY system, when the ignition was switched off):
› within 30 minutes - route guidance is continued, taking into account the calcu-
lated route
› Between 30 and 40 min - the screen switches to “standby” mode (energy-sav-
ing mode of the screen); the route guidance continues using the calculated route
› Between 40 min and 120 min - the unit screen displays the message
Continue
route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance continues
using the calculated route;
› After 120 min - The route guidance is cancelled.
Switch ignition off and on again and remove the key temporarily (in vehicles with
the KESSY system, switch off the ignition and open the driver's door):
› Within 10 min - route guidance is continued, taking into account the calculated
route
› Between 10 min and 120 min - the screen switches to “standby mode” (energy-
saving mode of the screen); the unit screen displays the message Continue
route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance continues
using the calculated route
› After 120 min - The route guidance is cancelled.
