Guidance

When you have entered all of the available data for the destination address, you can
start the guidance function.
✎
For guidance purposes, it is sufficient if you enter a town/city name. The navigation
system then guides you to the town or city limit.
☞
Select "Guidance" in the "Navigation" menu.
:
The route is planned and the guidance screen appears on the monitor.
Depending on the previously selected option, the display may be in symbol, map or
split-screen view (see also the "Screen displays" section, page 21).
:
The navigation system will then guide you to the input destination with graphic
and audible messages.
Stopping guidance
If you are in one of the guidance screens, guidance can be stopped at any time.
☞
Press OK.
☞
Select the "Stop guidance" option and press the OK button.
Guidance in non-digitised areas
If the specified destination is not located on a digitised road, the directions will take
you to the position (linear distance) closest to the destination. The display shows the
note "Destination is outside the digitised area". In all display modes, rather than
being provided as directions, guidance takes the form of an arrow which points to the
destination.
Guidance in partly digitised areas
In rural areas and in small townships not all the streets may be stored in the selected
navigation database. Whenever you leave a digitised road, the guidance screen
changes. Instead of the usual guidance information, an arrow which points in the
direction of the planned route is now shown. The linear distance to the route is given
in the status line.
Guidance in areas with limited road information
In some areas, not all of the information on a road is available in the selected
navigation database. Thus, for example, turn-off prohibitions, information on the
direction of travel in a one-way street or prohibited entry into a pedestrian zone may
be missing. The navigation system will display a warning if you drive into such an area.
Local traffic laws always take precedence over navigation system instructions.
In the guidance screen, you will see the ! symbol, as long as you are in an area with
limited road information.
A
Always observe the road signs and motor vehicle traffic regulations.
