Traffic congestion
Using the “Traffic congestion” function, the
calculated route can be altered according to
the current traffic situation. This means that if
you see a problem with the traffic up ahead or
you are informed about this over the radio
(e.g. a traffic jam or road works), you can ex-
clude certain route sections starting from your
current vehicle position. The route sections
that can be excluded refer to the road network
that lies ahead of you and your vehicle. Each
section comprises the section of road located
between two road junctions. The first section
that can be excluded comprises the length of
road starting from your vehicle and ending at
the next junction but one. The navigation sys-
tem then calculates a new route starting from
the next possible turning which, if possible, will
bypass the traffic disruption. To call up the
traffic congestion function, press the key.
For example:
You have entered a small town and are driving
your vehicle between road turning A and turn-
ing B. The travel information you hear on the
radio informs you that there is a disruption to
traffic between turning C and D.
Now press the key and the traffic conges-
tion menu will appear. A slider control will ap-
pear with a certain distance displayed above
