Note•If you do not follow the calculated route or if you leave the route, the 
system will automatically calculate a new route plan based on your current 
location.•You can also start a route guidance in demo mode  ⇒page 139 for simu-
lation purposes.Navigation system voice guidanceRoute calculation is announced with a voice message. During this time, “The 
route is being calculated” is shown on the navigation system display and 
“CALC” is shown on the instrument panel display.
When route calculation is complete, guidance is given by spoken driving 
instructions and symbols. Driving recommendations are always made with 
eno ugh time to make a  turn. An announcement is made in different stages in 
preparation for a change of direction.
You can use the following options to repeat the last navigation voice 
message:•Press the Nav-Info  control button ⇒page 130 if you are  not in the Nav-
Info submenu or•Press the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel* 
⇒ page 12.
You can change the language for the voice messages if desired ⇒ page 154.Caution
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always take 
precedence.
Note
•You can adjust the volume of the voice guidance prompts as they are 
being announced using the on/off button  ⇒page 9 on the navigation control 
console or the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel* 
⇒ page 12.•If the vehicle is in a location which cannot be read by the navigation 
system (car park, garage), a voice message will inform you.Dynamic navigation
The dynamic navigation function calculates routes based on 
the currently available TMC traffic messages.These TMC traffic messages are sent by TMC (Traffic Message Channel) radio 
stations in addition to regular programming and are received and processed 
by the navigation system. The reception of TMC traffic messages is free of 
charge in Germany.
If the dynamic navigation function  ⇒page 121 is activated, the system 
constantly checks if relevant TMC messages are available for the set route. If 
the navigation system then determines that a TMC traffic message is relevant 
for the current route, the system will automatically calculate a new route plan 
to the destination.
Note
•The quality of the dynamic navigation function depends largely on the 
quality of the TMC traffic messages. Please note that the TMC messages sent 
by the radio stations may not always be complete and correct.•For more information regarding TMC traffic messages, please refer to 
⇒ page 141.
