The traffic light data service belongs to the
scope of the navigation services.
The current vehicle position and the direction of
travel are transmitted via the communication
module and aligned with the data from the traffic
light data service provider. The provider gathers
data from traffic lights which transmit their chang-
ing phases. When the vehicle approaches an inter-
section with networked traffic lights, data is trans-
mitted to the vehicle.
A set turn signal left or right and lane recommen-
dations during active route guidance are taken
into account for the display.
The service is for information purposes only and is
not linked to any other vehicle functions, systems
or components. Please note that the displayed
data is not available in all traffic areas and may be
incorrect.
Certain light signal systems automatically adapt
their switching times to the current traffic situa-
tion. This can lead to a sudden change in the
countdown display.
The information in the Instrument Display is
shown after selecting the display contents in the
Assistance menu. If another menu is selected, the
traffic light countdown is not displayed.

R

roundings and weather conditions
