the locally applicable traffic laws and regu-

lations. If the recommended route is in con-

tradiction with the locally applicable traffic

laws and regulations, these always take

precedence – risk of accident!

The navigation system guides you directly to your

destination, avoiding traffic obstructions and us-

ing alternative routes if desired.

ial or trees or large buildings could affect

the reception of the satellite signals and

make positioning difficult. GPS reception

can also be adversely affected by deactiva-

tion or a malfunction of several satellites.

– Road names can change; therefore the

names stored on the MMI may be different

from the actual names in exceptional cases.

– Applies to multi-function steering wheel: It
