Recording the route
General notes
Routes are recorded using the SD card.
Requirements: the SD card has the FAT data
system format (e.g. FAT32). When recording the route, bear in mind the fol-
lowing:
RIf the SD 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 multimediasystem calculates the route to
the destination without taking the foll owing into
account, for example:
Rtraff iclights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stoppin g restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary trafficrules and regulations
The navigation system can give differing driving
recommendations ifthe actual street/traff icsit-
uation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, ifthe road layout or
the direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For th isreason, you must always observe road
and traff icrules and regulations during your
jo urney. Road and traff icrules and regulations
always have priority over system driving recom-
mendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 59).
The multimed iasystem guides you to your des-
tination bymeans of navigation announcements
in the form of audiblenavigation announce-
ments and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can beseen ifnav-
igation mode is switched on.
If you donot follow the navigation announce-
ments or ifyou leave the calculated route, the
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digit al map contains the corresponding
information, the foll owingapplies :
RDuring route guidance, the multimed iasys-
tem tries to avoid roads with restricted
access. These include, for example, roads
whic h are closed to through-traffic.
RRoads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed
on Sundays and publicholidays) are cons id-
ered for route guidance on days when they are
open. For th ispurpose, the relevant times
must becorrect lystored inthe database.
Change of direction
Overview
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the mul-
tifunction display of the instrument cluster (see
the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase
The multimedia system prepares you for the
upcoming driving maneuver, e.g. with the
announcement "Prepare to turn right". You see
the full-screen map.
Announcement phase
:Next road or direction
;Point at which the change of direction takes
place (white dot)
=Change of direction (turn right here)
?Distance to the next change of direction
The multimedia system announces the immi-
nent change of direction.
The display is now split into two sectors. The
map is shown on the leftsideof the display, and
a detailed image of the intersection or a 3D
image of the imminent change of direction is
shown on the right sideof the display.
Route guidance71
Navigation
Z

Change-of-direction phase
The multimedia system announces the immedi-
ate change of direction. The change of directionis announced ahead of time, e.g. with the
announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announce-
ment phase.
The change of direction is performed when the
light-color bar on the right drops down to 0 ft and
the current vehicle position symbol has reached
the white change-of-direction point.
When the change of direction is completed, the
map will appear in full screen mode again.
Display on highways
The image shows an example of route guidance
at a highway intersection when driving on a
highway.
Lane recommendations
Display on multi-lane roads
:Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
;Possible lane (light gray)
=Recommended lanes (white)
If the digital map contains the relevant data, the
multimedia system can display lane recommen-
dations on multi-lane roads for the next change
of direction.
Lane not recommended :: you will not be able
to complete the next change of direction if you
stay in this lane.
Possible lane ;: you will only be able to com-
plete the next change of direction in this lane.
Recommended lane =: in this lane you will be
able to complete the next change of direction
and the one after that.
The multimedia system shows the lane recom-
mendations for the next two changes of direc-
tion. Lane recommendations are also shown in
the multifunction display of the instrument clus-
ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
