Activate the Traffic Info option if you wish to be automatically routed
around road obstructions (see also section TMC traffic information and
Dynamic route in this chapter). If traffic information is not activated, the
system will suggest detours. The driver must confirm these manually.
t
The route criteria can also be changed in the “Navigation” menu under
“Route criteria”.
Dynamic route
With the integration of the TMC traffic information (see also chapter TMC
traffic information) you have the option of specifying criteria for the
system which influence the automatic detour of road obstructions.
Settings in the “Dynamic route” menu can only be made if the “Traffic
Info” option under “Route criteria” has been activated.
•
Re-routing level defines whether or not the system will plan a detour.
Numerous factors are integrated into the decision process. These
include, for example, the conditions on the alternate route, such as the
road category or the number of townships to be driven through. The
probability of high traffic density on the alternate route also plays a
part. Five levels are available. The lowest level means that, depending
on the conditions, the original route with the stationary traffic can
often be given preference. If the highest level is selected, an alternate
route is always planned.
•
Traffic horizon: the maximum distance that will be considered for a
detour suggestion around road obstructions.
•
Entire delay: takes into account the maximum delay the driver will
accept before he is willing to receive a detour suggestion.
•
Automatic mode: will automatically route you around stationary traffic.
There will be no further prompting of the driver.
