Displaying Current Position; Displaying Traffic Obstructions - BMW 2009 X5 Owner's Manual

Traffic information during destination
guidance
If there are traffic obstructions on the planned
route, the traffic information symbols are dis-
played with a red border.
System response will vary depending on
whether or not "Dynamic route" is selected,
refer to page 160.

Displaying traffic obstructions

If a traffic obstruction is reported to the naviga-
tion system and "Dynamic route" is not
selected, then you will be provided with certain
information from a distance of approx. 25 miles/
40 km, e.g. the length of the traffic jam.
The last possible junction will be displayed
shortly before this.
Select "Detour" and press the controller.
The navigation system determines a new route
to bypass the traffic congestion.
This information is displayed even if you have
activated a different function on the Control
Display.
Dynamic route planning
When "Dynamic route" is selected, the route
will be changed automatically in the event of a
traffic obstruction. The system does not point
out traffic obstructions along the original route.
Depending on road type and the kind and extent
of the traffic obstruction, the calculated route
may nevertheless lead through the traffic
obstruction.
