Notes on route guidance
& WARNING Risk of distraction from oper‐
ating integrated communication equip‐
ment while the vehicle is in motion
If you operate communication equipment
integrated in the vehicle when driving, you
will be distracted from the traffic situation.
This could also cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
Only operate this equipment when the
#
traffic situation permits.
If you cannot be sure of this, stop the
#
vehicle whilst paying attention to road
and traffic conditions and operate the
equipment with the vehicle stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the multimedia system.
Route guidance begins once a route has been cal‐
culated.
The road and traffic rules and regulations always
have priority over multimedia system driving
instructions.
Driving instructions are:
Navigation announcements
R
Route guidance displays
R
Lane recommendations
R
If you do not follow the driving instructions or if
you leave the calculated route, a new route is cal‐
culated automatically.
Driving instructions may differ from the actual
road and traffic conditions if:
The route is diverted
R
The direction of a one-way street has been
R
changed
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your jour‐
ney as well as the prevailing traffic conditions.
The route may differ from the ideal route due to
the following:
Roadworks
R
Incomplete digital map data
R
MBUX multimedia system 217
Notes on GPS reception
The correct function of the navigation system
depends amongst other things on GPS reception.
In certain situations GPS reception can be
impaired, defective or even not possible, e.g. in
tunnels or in parking garages.

displays:

There are three phases when changing direction:
Preparation phase
R
If there is enough time between the changes
of direction, the multimedia system prepares
you for the upcoming change of direction. A
navigation announcement is issued, e.g. "Pre‐
pare to turn right".
The map appears in full-screen mode.
The status line shows: the direction informa‐
tion or the name of the road which is to be
turned into and the distance to the change of
direction.
Announcement phase
R
The multimedia system announces the
upcoming change of direction, e.g. by
announcing "Turn right in 300 ft (100 m)".
