General information

The navigation system will reliablyguide you to your destination withoutthe need to read maps, even if youhave no local knowledge whatsoever.The current traffic situation is takeninto account in the route calculation ifdynamic route guidance is used. Forthis purpose the Infotainment systemreceives traffic announcements in thecurrent reception area via RDS TMC.The navigation system cannot,however, take into account trafficincidents, traffic regulations changedat short notice and hazards orproblems that arise suddenly (e. g.road works).

Caution

The usage of the navigationsystem does not release the driverfrom the responsibility fora correct, vigilant attitude in roadtraffic. The relevant trafficregulations must always befollowed. If a navigation instructioncontradicts traffic regulations, thetraffic regulations always apply.

Functioning of the navigationsystemThe position and movement of thevehicle are detected by the navigationsystem using sensors. The travelleddistance is determined by thevehicle's speedometer signal, turningmovements on bends by a gyrosensor. The position is determined byGPS satellites (Global PositioningSystem).By comparing the sensor signals withthe digital maps on the navigationDVD/CD, it is possible to determinethe position with an accuracy ofapprox. 10 m.

Navigation 37

The system will also work with poorGPS reception, however, theaccuracy of the determination of theposition will be reduced, resulting inincorrect position messages.Poor GPS reception is indicated bythe w symbol in the main display.After the entry of the destinationaddress or point of interest (nearestpetrol station, hotel, etc.) the route iscalculated from the current location tothe destination selected.The route guidance is provided byvoice output and an arrow, as well aswith the aid of a multi-colour mapdisplay or a combination of both.
