Traffic bulletins on the map

Traffic summary
When this function is activated, the map view
is switched to shades of gray, the north-ori‐
ented map view is displayed, and if necessary
the scale is adjusted. The symbols for addi‐
tional information are hidden. This enables a
better view of the traffic bulletins. Day/night
mode is not taken into account in this setting.

Traffic bulletins during
destination guidance
The concept
If bulletins about traffic obstructions have been
received, the system calculates possible de‐
tour suggestions.
General information
There are two possible destination guidance
modes.
▷ Semi-dynamic destination guidance: de‐
tour suggestions offered by the navigation
system can be accepted manually.
▷ Dynamic destination guidance: detour sug‐
gestions are automatically accepted by
destination guidance.

Semi-dynamic destination guidance

When traffic bulletin reception is switched on,
semi-dynamic destination guidance is active.
The destination guidance system takes the
available traffic information into account. A
message is displayed depending on the route,
the traffic bulletins, and the possible detour
routes. When there is a traffic obstruction, if
possible, a detour is offered.
In the event of special hazards, e. g., objects on
the road, a message is displayed without a de‐
tour suggestion.
The top part of the message displays:
▷ The symbol of the first traffic obstruction,
including the distance at which the traffic
obstruction first occurs, if applicable.
▷ Distance to start of the diversion.
The bottom part of the message displays:
▷ Remaining driving distance and arrival time
on the original route with a white symbol.
▷ Difference between the journey lengths
and time savings offered by the diversion
compared with the original route with a col‐
ored symbol.
