4.11. Notes on route guidance
After entering the destination (address), the system
calculates the route and announces:
"We may begin now“, if you are located on a road
contained on the digital map. If you are in a parking
lot, garage or another location not detailed on the
map, OFF ROAD will appear on the right side of the
display and route guidance will begin when you reach
the nearest road detailed on the digitized map.
You will receive navigation recommendations by
voice messages and screen displays.
Press the left control knob to have the current rec-
ommendation repeated.
If the route to be traveled is not clear, e.g. at an inter-
section where a change in direction is not specified,
the travel direction can be displayed by pressing the
right control knob
.
Please follow the direction indicated by the arrow.
The display appears for 8 seconds after the right con-
trol knob is pressed.

Warning
Danger of accident
-
Do not ignore traffic laws.
If a driving recommendation contradicts the ap-
plicable traffic laws, the laws will always take
precedence!
For clarification, the following contains some exam-
ples of possible driving recommendations:
• "Please make a U-turn if possible."
You are driving in the wrong direction and should
turn around at the earliest opportunity.
• "Please take a right in 300 yards."
The arrow
M
points to the next street into which
you should turn.
The progress bar on the right shows the distance
and the black part decreases as you approach the
intersection.
• "Please follow the road."
This display tells you that you should follow the
course of the road on which you are currently trav-
eling.
• "Prepare to turn left" or
"Move into left-hand lane."
This recommendation prepares you for the next
turn to be taken.
However, "move into the left-hand lane" does not
mean that you should compromise safety by doing
so immediately!
Note:
At intersections and roundabouts, only the ends of
the roads to be passed are displayed.
