Lane recommendations
:Recommended lanes (white)
;Possible lane (light gray)
=Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
If the digital map contains the relevant data, the navigation system can display lane recommenda-
tions on multi-lane roads for the next change of direction.
Recommended lane :: in this lane, you will be able to complete the next change of direction and
the one after that.
Possible lane ;: you will be able to complete the next change of direction only in this lane.

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 and 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, and
their driveability may be affected by different
factors such as time of day, season and current
weather conditions, which the navigation sys-
tem cannot judge or take into account.
Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion
The navigation system can also guide you to
destinations 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 navigation 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 will hear
the announcement: "Please follow the arrow on
the display". As the vehicle approaches the des- tination, 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 navigation
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.
