Route guidance with traffic information
Semi-dynamic route guidance
With traffic information reception switched on,
semi-dynamic route gu idance is active.
The system takes into account the existing traffic
information during route guidance. A message is
displayed as a function of the route, the traffic
information, and the po ssible alternate routes.
The message displays the traffic information and
in the event of a traffic obstruction, suggests an
alternate route. The difference in distance and
time between the origin al route and the alter-
nate route are also displayed.
Taking an alternate route:
"Detour"
With particular hazards, e.g. objects on the road-
way, a message is displayed without a possible
alternate route.
It is also possible to take alternate routes can
also be taken if the tr affic reports are accessed
via the list:

Dynamic route guidance
The route is automatically changed in the event
of traffic obstructions.
>The system will not point out traffic obstruc-
tions on the original route.
> Traffic information will continue to be dis-
played on the map.
> Depending on the type of road and the
nature and length of the traffic obstruction,
the route can also be ca lculated so that you
travel through the traffic obstruction.
> Certain hazards are displayed regardless of
the setting.

>The current position cannot be displayed?
The position is in an unrecognized region, in
a poor reception area, or the system is in the
process of determining the position. Recep-
tion is best when you have an unobstructed
view to the sky.
> The route guidance does not accept an
address without the street name?
A downtown area cannot be determined for
the town or city that has been entered. Input
any street in the selected town/city and start
route guidance.
> The route guidance does not accept a desti-
nation?
The destination data is not contained in the
navigation data. Select a destination that is
as close as possible to the original.
> The letters for a destination cannot be
selected during destination entry?
Stored data do not contain the data of the
destination. Select a de stination that is as
close as possible to the original.
> The map view is displayed in grayscale?
When the traffic info map is activated, the
picture on the Control Display is switched to
a grayscale. This permits an optimized
depiction of traffic information.
> Voice instructions ar e no longer issued
before intersections during route guidance?
The area has not been fully recorded yet, or
you have left the recommended route and
the system requires a few seconds to calcu-
late a new route suggestion.
> The navigation system does not react to
entries?
If the battery was disconnected, it takes
about 10 minutes before the system is once
again operational.

may not be fully functional and may require ini-
tialization. Individual se ttings are also lost and
must be reprogrammed:
> Time and date
These values must be updated, page 61.
> Radio
In some cases, stations may have to be
stored again, page 132.
