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 58).
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 applie s:
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 are consid-
ered for route guidance on days when they are
open. For this purpose, the relevant times
must be correctly stored in the database. For example, a time restriction can mean a road is
closed on Sundays and public holidays.
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 left side of the display, and
a detailed image of the intersection or a 3D
image of the imminent change of direction is
shown on the right side of the display.

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. The multimedia system guides you for
as long as possible with navigation announce-
ments and displays on roads known to the sys-
tem.
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part ofthe 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.
