Navigation Navigation system

Navigation system

Vehicle Equipment

This chapter describes all standard, national and special equipment provided in the model series. Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is also described, for example the selected special equipment or national version. That also applies to safety-relevant functions and systems.

General

The navigation system can determine the pre‐ cise position of the vehicle by means of satellites and vehicle sensors and guide you reliably to any specified destination.

Navigation data is saved in the vehicle and can be updated.

Note

Inputs when the vehicle is stationary

Only enter data when the car is stationary, and always obey the traffic regulations and road signs in the event of any contradiction between the traffic situation and the instructions given by the navigation system. You could otherwise commit an offence and put vehicle occupants and other road users at risk.◀

called up with the button on the controller.

Navigation Traffic information

Traffic information

Vehicle Equipment

General

Traffic information from radio stations sending a traffic warning service on the Traffic Message Channel, TMC, is shown in the map view and considered when calculating route. Information on traffic obstructions and dangers is continu‐ ously updated.

Traffic information is displayed on the map by symbols.

Traffic information for the vicinity is stored in a list.

Display

The symbol in the function bar of the map view turns yellow, if the traffic information con‐ cerns the calculated route and the expected de‐ lay is less than 20 minutes. The symbol turns red if the expected delay is more than 20 minutes or the route is blocked or there is a danger mes‐ sage for the route.

The symbol shows that there are suitable di‐ versions from the traffic information.

Real-Time Traffic Information, RTTI

In some countries additional bookable services send real-time traffic information, RTTI, which is then used and shown instead of traffic informa‐ tion from the radio station.

The location of traffic obstructions is specified more comprehensively and precisely with realtime traffic information. In addition, the traffic

situation off the motorways, for example, on side streets and urban roads, is extensively recorded and shown. Diversion recommendations can be calculated more precisely on the basis of this information. This lowers the risk of coming across another traffic obstruction on diversions. Several recommended diversions or further in‐ formation may be provided.

When driving in countries in which real-time traf‐ fic information is available, the traffic information continues to use radio stations.

It is shown in the lower status field, see page 21, in map view whether TMC or RTTI in‐ formation is used.

With the function switched on, the map view changes to grey scale, set to point north and changes the scale as needed. The symbols for additional information are greyed out. This op‐ timises the traffic information display. Day/night mode is not taken into consideration for this set‐ ting.

Information on traffic flow in the map view

Depending on the scale, the length, direction and effect of a traffic obstruction are indicated by road signs in the map or coloured lines along the calculated route.

▷ Black: obstruction.

▷ Red: traffic jam.

▷ Orange: queuing traffic.

▷ Yellow: heavy traffic.

▷ Green: free-flowing traffic.

▷ Grey: general traffic information, for exam‐

ple roadworks.

The information displayed depend on the spe‐ cific traffic information service.

For particular dangers, for example objects on the road, a message is displayed with no diver‐ sion option.

The upper part of the message shows:

distance to the start of the traffic disruption.

▷ Distance to the start of the diversion.

The lower part of the message shows:

▷ The current position cannot be displayed.

The car is in an area not covered by the data, is in a poor reception area or the system is currently calculating the position. Reception will normally be possible outdoors.

▷ A destination without a street is not trans‐

ferred to the route guidance system.

No city centre can be determined for the place entered.

Enter any street in the place selected and start route guidance.

▷ A destination is not transferred to the route

guidance system.

The data for the destination is not available in the navigation data. Choose a destination as close as possible to the original one.

▷ Letters cannot be selected for destination

input.

The data stored do not contain the destina‐ tion data.

Choose a destination as close as possible to the original one.

▷ Map view shown in grey scales?

"Traffic info map" Active: indications on the Control Display are toggled to grey-scale. This facilitates optimum traffic information display. Deactivate traffic information map, see page 25.

▷ Spoken instructions cease to be given im‐

mediately before junctions during route guidance?

Area is not fully recorded, or you have devi‐ ated from the suggested route and the sys‐ tem requires a few seconds to calculate a new route.
