When recording the route, bear in mind the fol-
lowing:
Rif the SD memory card is inserted, it must not
be removed during recording.
RIf route recording is started manually, it must
be finished manually before the multimedia
system is switched off (e. g. when the engine
is switched off).
RThe multimedia system minimizes the num-
ber of route points recorded. Therefore when the recorded route is subsequently com-
menced, it may differ from the route that was
originally recorded.

Route guidance
General notes
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary traffic rules and regulations
The navigation system can give differing driving
recommendations if the actual street/traffic sit-
uation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, if the road layout or
the direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over system driving recom-
mendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 60).
The multimedia system guides you to your des-
tination by means of navigation announcements
in the form of audible navigation announce-
ments and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if nav-
igation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the calculated route, the
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
RDuring route guidance, the multimedia sys-
tem tries to avoid roads with restricted
access. These include, for example, roads
which are closed to through-traffic.
RRoads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed
on Sundays and public holidays) are consid-
ered for route guidance on days when they are

Off-road
General notes
The navigation system may guide you to off-road
routes that your vehicle cannot drive on without
causing damage to the tires or wheels or the
vehicle itself. It is the driver’s sole responsibility to determine the suitability of the route. The
condition of the off-road routes may vary. The
navigability of off-road routes may be influenced
by various factors such as time of day, time of
year and prevailing weather conditions. The nav-
igation system cannot judge these factors or
take them into account for route guidance.
Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion
The multimedia system can guide you to desti-
nations which are within the area of the digital
map, but which are not themselves on the map.
These destinations are known as off-road des-
tinations, which you can enter using the map, for
example. In these cases, the multimedia system
guides you for as long as possible with naviga-
tion announcements and displays on roads
known to the system. If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part of
the digital map, the display appears as a split-
screen view. On the right, an arrow appears that
points to the off-road destination. You hear the
announcement: "Please follow the arrow on the
display". As the vehicle approaches the desti-
nation, you will see a display to this effect.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination
Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on the
digital map, but the map does not contain any
information about that location. The multimedia
system is able to guide you to a destination even
from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Road Not Mapped
message, an arrow and the
distance to the destination. The arrow shows
the compass heading to the actual destination.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known
to the system, route guidance continues in the
usual way.
Off-road during route guidance
Due to road construction, for example, there
may be differences between the data on the
digital map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the dig-
ital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-road
position.
In the display, you will then see the Road Not
Mappedmessage, an arrow and the distance to
the destination. The direction arrow shows the
compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance con-
tinues in the usual way.
