Map views of the current location
The way in which the map is displayed
depends on the vehicle’s location and the set-
tings that have been made in the system, such
as map scale, geographic location, the sym-
bols that have been selected for display, etc.
An explanation of the text, signs, and symbols
that may be displayed on the screen can be
found on the inside of the front cover of this
manual.
The name of the current route can be viewed
at the bottom of the screen without setting a
destination.
Along a highway. The screen shows points
of interest along the highway.
Detailed intersection information. The
screen shows the direction in which you
should turn at the next intersection

. (Alter-
native lanes are only displayed for major
roads.) Visual information is always
accompanied by voice guidance.
Two maps. The screen shows the same
map, but with two different scales. The
map(s) can also be displayed in 2D or 3D,
see page 56.
Map scroll mode, see page 36.
Voice guidance
Once a destination has been entered and the
vehicle is approaching an intersection or an
exit, a voice will provide guidance about dis-
tance and type of action to be taken. A detailed
map of the intersection is also displayed. The
voice guidance is repeated as the vehicles
approaches the intersection.
Adjust the volume with the audio system’s vol-
ume control (this must be done while guidance
is being given).

NOTE
In certain cases (e.g., if a call is in progress
on a Bluetooth
š -connected cell phone),
voice guidance will be replaced by a chime.
To select a male or female voice and a

pressing this button on the center console
control panel). The volume for voice guid-
ance can also be adjusted here. See your

Compass
The red point on the compass
needle points north on the
map and the white end of the
needle points south
Go to Settings Map options Compass
to hide/show the compass. See also page
57 for more information.
Unverified roads
A small number of roads in the system may be
unverified. This means that information on
signs, one-way streets, left turns, etc., may not
be accurate.
An itinerary containing unverified roads will be
displayed in grey on the map.
The system’s default setting is to avoid unveri-
fied roads, and for this reason, no itineraries are
planned on them. These settings can be
changed under
Settings Route options
Customize route , see page 55.
The system provides information when an
unverified road is added to an itinerary and
when the vehicle begins to travel on one of
these roads.
