Navigation system
Vehicle equipment
All standard, country-specific and optional
equipment that is offered in the model series is
described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment
is also described that is not available in a vehicle,
e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐
ment or country variant. This also applies for
safety-related functions and systems.
General information
The navigation system can determine the pre‐
cise position of the vehicle, with the aid of sat‐
ellites and vehicle sensors, and can reliably
guide you to every entered destination.
Navigation data are stored in the vehicle and can
be updated.
Entries in stationary vehicle
Enter data only when the vehicle is sta‐
tionary, and always give priority to the applicable
traffic regulations in the event of any contradic‐
tion between traffic and road conditions and the
instructions issued by the navigation system.
Failure to take to this precaution can place you
in violation of the law and put vehicle occupants
and other road users in danger.◀

this capability the following additional terms
and conditions apply:
An End-User shall no longer have the right

End-User is in material breach of the terms
and conditions contained herein.

tial damages, so those particular limitations
may not apply to you.
▷ The traffic bulletins are indicated on the map
by symbols.
▷ The traffic bulletins for the surrounding area
are stored in a list.
The symbol in the function bar of the map
view turns yellow, if there are traffic bulletins
that affect the calculated route, and the pre‐
dicted delay is less than 20 minutes. The
symbol turns red if the predicted delay is
more than 20 minutes or if there is a road
block or a hazard warning for the route.
The symbol indicates that there are suit‐
able diversions in keeping with the traffic
bulletins.
Traffic information via ConnectedDrive
In some countries, realtime traffic information,
RTTI is transmitted by ConnectedDrive.
With a valid ConnectedDrive contract, the traffic
information by ConnectedDrive is displayed in‐
stead of the traffic information from the radio
stations.
In countries in which traffic bulletins are not
transmitted by ConnectedDrive, the traffic bul‐
letins of the radio stations are still displayed.
With the traffic bulletins from ConnectedDrive,
the precise location of traffic obstructions can
be pinpointed. In addition, for example, routes
with clear roads within a radius of approx. around
the current position are precisely displayed.

General information
Detour suggestions from the navigation system
can be manually accepted in the semi-dynamic
destination guidance. In the dynamic destina‐
tion guidance, they are automatically accepted
in the route guidance.
Semi-dynamic destination guidance
When traffic bulletin reception is switched on,
semi-dynamic destination guidance is active.
The destination guidance system takes the
available traffic information into account. A mes‐
sage is displayed depending on the route, the
traffic bulletins, and the possible detour routes.
When there is a traffic obstruction, if possible, a
detour is offered.
In the event of special hazards, e. g., objects on
the road, a message is displayed without a de‐
tour suggestion.
The top part of the message displays:
▷ The symbol of the first traffic obstruction,
including the distance at which the traffic
obstruction first occurs, if applicable.
▷ Distance to start of the diversion.
The bottom part of the message displays:
▷ Remaining driving distance and arrival time
on the original route, with white symbol.
▷ Difference between the journey lengths and
time savings offered by the diversion com‐
pared with the original route, with colored
symbol.
