Word-matching principle
The system's word-matching principle makes it
easier to enter the name s of towns or streets.
The system runs ongoing checks, comparing
your destination entries wi th the data stored in
the vehicle as the basis for instant response. The
user benefits include:
> Town/city names can also be entered differ-
ently from the official names if you use a
form that is customary in other countries.
Example:
Instead of "München", you can also enter
the English spelling "Munich" or the Italian
spelling "Monaco".
> When you are entering the names of towns/
cities and streets the system will complete
them automatically as soon as enough let-
ters are available to ensure unambiguous
identification.
> The system offers only those letters for
selection of name entries that are stored in
the vehicle. The system will not accept non
existent names and addresses.

The traffic conditions are monitored by traffic
control centers and the traffic information is
updated periodically.

relevant to the route you are planning to take is
automatically shown and taken into account in
route planning. Irrespective of whether route
guidance is active, you can have the traffic infor-
mation displayed in the map display or as an
event list.
The symbol in the toolbar of the map view
turns red if traffic info rmation relates to the
calculated route.

General information
In semi-dynamic route guidance systems,
detour suggestions by the navigation system
can be added manually. In dynamic route guid-
ance systems, they are au tomatically included in
the route guidance.
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 du ring route guidance. A message is
displayed as a function of the route, the traffic
information, an d the possible alternate routes.
When there are obstructions to traffic, an alter-
nate route is provided. The difference in dis-
tance and time between the original route and
the alternate route are also displayed.

> Traffic information will continue to be
displayed on the map.
> Depending on the type of road and the
nature and length of the traffic obstruction,
the route can also be calculated so that you
travel through the traffic obstruction.
> Certain hazards are displayed regardless of
the setting.

> The letters for a de stination 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 traf fic information.
> Voice instructions ar e no longer issued
before intersections du ring route guidance?
The area has not been fully recorded yet, or
you have left the recommended route and
