The road and traffic rules and regulations always
have priority over multimedia system driving
instructions.
The following driving instructions can be used:
R
Navigation announcements
R
Route guidance displays
R
Lane recommendations
If you do not follow the driving instructions or if
you leave the calculated route, a new route is
calculated automatically.
Driving instructions 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 as well as the prevailing traffic condi‐

The route may differ from the ideal route due to
the following:
R
Roadworks

Incomplete digital map data
Notes on GPS reception
The correct function of the navigation system
depends amongst other things on GPS recep‐

impaired, defective or even not possible, e.g. in
tunnels or in parking garages.

Announcement phase
The multimedia system announces the

displayed on the left; on the right, there is a
detailed image of the intersection or a 3D
image of the upcoming change of direction.
