Dynamic route adaptation
While driving, the navigation system
can receive traffi c information from
TMC stations in the background
(see p. 32). If there should be a
traffi c jam on the route, you hear
an announcement and the naviga-
tion system automatically calculates
a new route – if it allows you to
reach your destination faster
If you do not follow the turn-by-turn
directions, e.g. because a street is
blocked or because the traffi c rout-
ing has changed, the navigation sys-
tem automatically calculates a new
route (see p. 70).
The corridor function
If the navigation system calculat-
ed a route, it stores all the streets
leading to the destination and also
streets that lie in a corridor to the
left and the right of the route. These
data are illustrates by means of the
corridor status display (see
L
on
p. 47).
As long as you stay in this corridor,
e.g. while evading a traffi c jam, you
can remove the navigation CD from
the drive and play a CD.
If you leave the corridor while driv-
ing, you hear a request to reinsert
the navigation CD. If you do not in-
sert the navigation CD, you hear a
corresponding note and no addi-
tional turn-by-turn directions fol-
low.
The surroundings function
If no destination guidance is active,
the navigation system automatically
loads the digital map material of a
certain area surrounding the vehi-
cle position into its memory. Within
this area, you can specify and navi-
gate to destinations without having
to insert the navigation CD.
Installing the navigation
software
DANGER!
Risk of an accident
through distraction from
traffi c!
If you perform the following set-
tings while driving, you may be dis-
tracted from the traffi c and cause
an accident.
Perform the settings described
in this section only while the ve-
hicle is standing!
Before you can use the navigation
system, you must install the naviga-
tion software as described below.
Note:
If you install the navigation soft-
ware while a destination guid-
ance is active, a confi rmation di-
alogue appears and asks whether
you really want to perform the
installation. If you perform the in-
stallation, the destination guid-
ance is cancelled.
