Route criteriaMeaningFastFastest route to the destination, even if it means driv-
ing further.
EconomicalThis function aims to find an equilibrium between the
shortest time and the shortest route.
ShortShortest route to the destination, even if it results in a
longer travelling time. The navigation route may in-
clude unusual route sections, e.g. dirt roads.
Dynamic route
If dynamic route guidance is activated, TMC traffic reports will be taken into
account in the route calculation ⇒ page 72.
Excluding types of route in the calculation
The function buttons  Avoid motorways
, etc. define whether or not these
types of road may be included in the route calculation.
Even when excluded, these types of route will still be included in the route
calculation if no practical alternative route exists. For example, if it is impos-
sible to reach an island without using the ferry. For the calculation of very
long routes, it is not possible to avoid motorways. Navigation announcements
When the route has been calculated, the first announcement is given. Up to
three navigation announcements are given before a turn, e.g. within a town
“Prepare to turn left”, “Turn left after 300 metres” and “Now turn left”.
●
Press the setting knob ⇒ fig. 2 10
to hear the last navigation announce-
ment again.
The distances that are announced depend on the type of road and the
speed at which you are driving. On motorways, the first announcement is
given roughly 2,000 m before an exit.
For example, the following announcements may be heard on multi-lane
highways or roads that divide, and at roundabouts: “Take the second exit at
the roundabout!”. More than one instruction may be necessary when navi-
gating very large roundabouts. In any case, the exit to be taken is always
displayed in relation to the position of the vehicle at the time the instruction
is given.
When you arrive at your destination, the following announcement is heard:
“You have reached the destination”.
During dynamic route guidance, you receive information about reported
traffic congestion on the route. If the route is recalculated due to traffic con-
gestion, you will be advised accordingly ⇒ page 72.
Announcement settings.
Navigation announcements are played at the preset volume.
The volume of an announcement can be changed with the volume control
. All following announcements will then be made at this volume.
The volume of navigation announcements can be preset or switched off in
the Navigation setup menu ⇒ page 75 or in the volume settings

Navigation
Traffic incidents displayed on the map
Traffic congestion reported via TMC that is on the route is shown on the map
by a coloured symbol. Traffic congestion that is not on the route is shown on
the map by a grey symbol. The positioning of the TMC symbol indicates the
start and the direction of the traffic congestion if both are clearly defined in
the TMC traffic message.
Route sections with traffic congestion that are on the route are coloured red.
Route sections with traffic congestion that are not on the route are coloured
grey. If route guidance is not active, all traffic congestion is coloured grey.
Dynamic route guidance
If the  Dynamic route
function button is activated and a diversion to avoid
traffic congestion on the route is likely to save time, the navigation system
automatically calculates an alternative route.
An announcement is given when the route is recalculated. The same an-
nouncement is given if traffic congestion that was present when the route
was originally calculated is now no longer reported.
Note
A diversion of the route based on TMC traffic reports may not always save
time, if, for instance, there is also heavy traffic on the alternative route.
Note
If there is traffic congestion on a route section further ahead, it is possible
to exclude the section manually if the TMC traffic report has not yet been
received.
Note
The quality of traffic messages depends on the station broadcasting the
traffic reports. This station is responsible for the content of the traffic re-
ports. Displaying TMC traffic reports (TRAFFIC)

a received TMC traffic re-
port.
The unit constantly receives TMC traffic reports in the background, provided
a TMC traffic news station can be received at the current location. The sta-
tion listened to does not have to be the TMC traffic news station. 

74Navigation
The unit only processes and displays TMC traffic reports affecting the area
within a radius of roughly 100 km from the current vehicle position.

Note
The radio-navigation system can only process and store TMC traffic reports
if the unit has access to navigation data for the area you are currently travel-
ling through.
Note
The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the information con-
tained in the TMC traffic reports. The radio stations are responsible for the
content of the news broadcast. 
Route guidance in demo mode
If demo mode is activated in the Navigation setup menu ⇒ page 75, an ad-
ditional pop-up window opens when you start route guidance.
● Pressing the Demo
function button starts a “virtual route guidance” to
the destination you have entered.
● If you press the Normal
function button, a “real route guidance” starts.
The sequence of events and the operations in virtual route guidance are
similar to those in real route guidance.
Virtual route guidance is repeated when you reach the fictitious destination
and always starts again from the starting point if it is interrupted.
If the starting point for demo mode has been defined manually in the Navi-
gation setup menu, virtual route guidance will start from this position.
If the vehicle is moved and the unit can determine its current location by
GPS, any manually entered starting point will be overwritten with the current
vehicle location ⇒ page 75.
When real route guidance is started following virtual route guidance in
demo mode, the unit first has to reorient itself. This may take some time,
depending on the number of satellites the unit can currently receive. Mov-
ing the vehicle may speed up the reorientation process. 

75
Navigation
Ending demonstration mode
As a general rule, the Demo mode should be switched off after use, other-
wise you will always have to select between virtual navigation or normal
navigation before starting navigation to a destination.
Normally, the demonstration mode automatically ends on completion of the
route guidance programme or when a new navigation destination (not de-
tour) is entered. When the vehicle starts to move, or when the unit is switch-
ed off, the demonstration mode ends.
If necessary, switch off the demonstration mode in the navigation setup
menu.
● Press the SETUP
