Setting an alternative
route to avoid traffic jams
The navigation system checks at regular inter-
vals whether or not there is the traffic informa-
tion on your route. If the navigation system
detects any traffic jams on your current route,
the system tries to find a better route in the
background.
p
The following types of traffic incidents on
the route will be checked: slow, queuing
and stationary traffic, and closed/blocked
roads except for closed motorway exits/en-
trances.
Checking for traffic jams
automatically
If there is information about traffic jams on

cally. In such a case, the following screen will
