Bypassing a traffic obstruction
An appropriate voice message is provided approximately 5 kilometres before the last
turn-off opportunity before reaching a traffic obstruction.
The function list is automatically opened in the guidance and split screens. The list
contains the new function “Detour”, with which the system can be prompted to plan
a new route for bypassing the traffic obstruction.
The route is recalculated for the next 15 km at most, depending on where the end
of the traffic obstruction is.
If you want to bypass the traffic obstruction:
— Select “Detour” in the function list.
— Select the “Plan Detour” option in the menu that appears.
The system plans a new route within seconds.
Automatic re-routing
If you do not follow the advice provided by the system and / or use another route
than that planned by the system, then the system automatically plans a new route.
Plan Alternative Route
You can have the navigation system plan an alternative route for a selectable
distance during guidance.
Use this function, for example, if you want to avoid a traffic jam or if you do not
agree with the currently planned route.
The alternative route will be calculated for the specified distance from the present
car location.
— Press the
ALT-R -button.
If you want to change the value for “Distance” (route distance for which an alterna-
tive route is to be planned; adjustable between 1 and 15 km):
— Select the value under “Distance”.
— Adjust the value with the help of cursor buttons
2 ( − 1) or 8 ( + 1).
— Press the OK -button.
The entered value is now stored.
— Now select the “Yes” option.
The system calculates a new route within seconds.
