34Navigation OverviewHow does the navigation system work, and how is it operated?
An optimal route is defined using sensors, satellites and
traffic reports and the driver is then guided to his or her desti-
nation.The current vehicle position is determined using a system of satellites (GPS -
Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distances that
have been driven. Thanks to the detailed information on the navigation CD
the measurements values are compared and if necessary they are updated
using the traffic reports ( TMC = Traffic Message Channel). An optimal route to
the destination is determined in this way.
Navigation announcements and direction arrows shown on the screen and on
the instrument panel

tion. You can drive to a given address in towns you are unfamiliar with, or
drive to the nearest garage or be guided to a hotel.

SafetyThe navigation system determines the po sition of the vehicle, the direction
and distance and the route to a selected destination without taking traffic
regulations into account. Navigation recommendations are given as
announcements by the system. Direction arrows are also shown on the
screen. The destination is entered when the vehicle is stationary. The desti-
nation guide function is designed for ca rs and is thus unsuitable for larger
commercial vehicles.

36The last audio instruction can be repeated by pushing the button. The
volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed whilst it is being
made.
If the display Off Road appears on the screen, it means you are on a route not
recorded on the CD, e.g. on a dirt road. The GPS satellites will not be able to
reach your antenna when you are in a tunnel or underground garage,
meaning that the unit orientates itself via the wheel sensors. If you try to carry
out a route calculation in t his situation you may hear an announcement indi-
cating that you are located on a street for which no digital record exists. Drive
on until the display Off Road disappears.
