Connected functions

The car needs an Internet connection for full
Maps functionality. A few functions that are
accessible when the car is online are listed here.
The functions mentioned are only examples. For
the latest information on which functions are

mapsincar.
Traffic information
If the traffic is moving slowly, orange or red lines
are shown, depending on how slow the traffic is
moving. If the car loses its Internet connection,
the coloured lines disappear after a few minutes
as the information is no longer up to date. Upda-
ted traffic information is displayed again when
the connection has been re-established. The
map also shows information on different types
of obstructions, such as roadworks or acci-
dents.
In the event of accidents or other obstacles
along the ongoing route, and if another faster
route is available, Maps will suggest an alterna-
tive route.
Alternative route
When a desired destination is set, a route is sug-
gested, as well as alternative routes. Among
other things, the suggestions are based on set-
tings in the system, traffic information, calcula-
ted distance and travelling time. Select an alter-
native route in the list of suggested routes or by
steering the car according to the alternative
route, so-called decide by steering.
Change route while driving, Google Maps redi-
rects you dynamically based on current traffic
patterns, so that you can avoid traffic jams.
