WARNING Risk of distraction from oper‐
ating integrated communication equip‐
ment while the vehicle is in motion
If you operate communication equipment
integrated in the vehicle when driving, you
will be distracted from the traffic situation.
This could also cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
#
Only operate this equipment when the
traffic situation permits.
#
If you cannot be sure of this, stop the
vehicle whilst paying attention to road
and traffic conditions and operate the
equipment with the vehicle stationary.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated.
The road and traffic rules and regulations always
have priority over multimedia system driving rec‐
ommendations.
Driving recommendations are:
R
Navigation announcements
R
Route guidance displays
R
Lane recommendations
If you do not follow the navigation announce‐
ments or if you leave the calculated route, a new
route is calculated automatically.
Driving recommendations may differ from the
actual road and traffic conditions if:
R
the route is diverted.
R
the direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey.
The route may differ from the ideal route due to
the following:
R
roadworks
R
incomplete digital map data
Changing direction overview
There are three phases when changing direction:
R
Preparation phase
If there is enough time between the changes
of direction, the multimedia system prepares
you for the upcoming change of direction. A
navigation announcement, e.g. "Prepare to
turn right", is issued.
