Route calculation
The route is calculated automatically according to the entered destination. The calculation takes the settings of the route options » page 48 (route type, dy-
namic route, etc.) into account.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Nav. announcements
can only then be re-transmitted.
If Demo mode is switched on » page 49, a prompt appears asking whether you
want the guidance to start in demo mode or normal mode.
Demo mode provides a travel simulation to the entered destination. It offers
the chance to travel the calculated route “virtually” on the device screen.
If an alternative route option is set, function keys are displayed, following the
calculation, for the route types with information on the route length and the
expected travelling time.
Route Type economically
quickly
short
Selecting the route type will start route guidance.
After the route has been calculated, additional information specific to the se-
lected route is displayed on the function keys for the route types » page 48,
e.g., use of motorways , toll roads
 and the like.
If the option for alternative routes is disabled, the route is calculated and route
guidance is started according to the preferred route » page 48.
It is possible to select a pre-calculated route before the calculation of the re-
maining routes is completed.
The unit tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data is in-
complete or there is no data at all for the given area (e.g., one-way streets,
road types, etc.).Interrupt and continue route guidance
If the ignition is switched off and on again and the key was left in the ignition
(in vehicles with the KESSY system, when the ignition was switched off):
› within 30 minutes - route guidance is continued, taking into account the cal-
culated route
› Between 30 and 40 min - the screen switches to “standby” mode (energy-
saving mode of the screen); the route guidance continues using the calcula-
ted route
› Between 40 min and 120 min - the unit screen displays the message
Contin-
ue route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance con-
tinues using the calculated route;
› After 120 min - The route guidance is cancelled.
Switch ignition off and on again and remove the key temporarily (in vehicles
with the KESSY system, switch off the ignition and open the driver's door):
› Within 10 min - route guidance is continued, taking into account the calcula-
ted route
› Between 10 min and 120 min - the screen switches to “standby mode” (ener-
gy-saving mode of the screen); the unit screen displays the message Contin-
ue route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance con-
tinues using the calculated route
› After 120 min - The route guidance is cancelled.
Explanation of graphic navigation instructions
The graphical navigation instructions are displayed: › in the MAXI DOT display
» page 9;
› in the extra window of the device screen
» page 53.
Nav. announcements
The device outputs the navigation announcements. The navigation announce-
ments are started as soon as the route calculation is complete or a route type
has been selected.
The navigation announcements are generated by the instrument system. The
flawless clarity of the message (eg, road or city name) cannot always be guar-
anteed.
Before turning, up to 3 recommendations are issued:
The last navigation announcement can be repeated: › by pressing the menu knob

» Fig. 1 on page 5 ;
› Press the dial

» Fig. 10 on page 12 on the multifunction steering wheel. 
62Navigation

The timing of the navigation announcement depends on the type of road and
the driving speed. For example, on motorways the first announcement is made
about 2000 m (6000 ft) before the location where you want to leave the mo-
torway.
During dynamic route guidance, the unit notifies the driver of traffic problems.
If a new route is calculated due to traffic problems, the Calculating the route...
announcement is sounded.
Set the output volume of the navigation announcements or mute it during a
phone call » page 49.

When there is a calculated route to the destination, the recommended route is
displayed.

The traffic is getting denser. For this reason, information on the current road
and traffic conditions will continue to gain in importance.
TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance when
there are traffic disruptions.
The device can obtain this information from the following sources: 

Operation
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital data service emitted by the radio
station for continuous transmission of traffic information.

tails » page 64 .
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listen-
ing to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be
turned off.
The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traf-
fic reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for
the content.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation
system when navigation data are available for the driven area.
Switching dynamic route on/off

In the Navigation main menu, press

→ Route Options → Dynamic route .
When the Dynamic route » page 48 function is switched on, the traffic reports
influence the dynamic route guidance by means of TMC messages.
Dynamic route switched on
Information on traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are displayed in the map by means of a coloured symbol (e.g., 
, 
, 
, etc.). Traffic
problems, which do not affect the route, are displayed in the map by means of
a grey symbol. The direction in which a traffic problem is found, is displayed by
means of an arrow in the symbol.
Dynamic route switched off
You are not alerted to received traffic disruptions along your route and are gui-
ded through the traffic disruption by the radio navigation system. The traffic
reports are updated automatically in the unit and displayed by pressing the
button 

If one of the announced traffic disruptions lies on your route, you can switch on dynamic route guidance during your current route guidance or block the
route manually » page 63.
Note
Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.
