Navigation

Introduction

The current vehicle position is determined by a global satellite system. In order to enable optimum navigation to your destination, all measured values and possible

trafﬁc information are compared with the available map material.

Audible navigation aids and graphic representations lead you to your destination.Audible navigation aidsAcoustic navigation announcements and graphic displays

lead you to your destination.

In some countries, it may not be possible to select some Infotainment system functions on the screen when driving above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction

but rather compliance with legal regulations.

WARNING

Only adjust settings, enter destinations, or change navigation information when the vehicle is stationary.

If you missed a turn on your route, the navigation system may recalculate the route.

The quality of the driving directions depends on the available navigation data and any reported traffic incidents.

Traffic information is only given in the navigation system if the available VW Car-Net service has been activated.

Navigation restrictions

If the Infotainment system cannot receive data from GPS satellites, for example in a tunnel, navigation will still be possible using the vehicle's sensors.

In areas that are not digitized or only partially digitized in the Infotainment system memory, the Infotainment system will still try to provide route guidance.

If navigation data is missing or incomplete, the vehicle position may not be determined accurately. This may result in navigation that is not as accurate as usual.

Routing is subject to ongoing changes, like new streets, construction zones, road closures, or changes to street names or house numbers. Using outdated

navigation data can lead to errors or uncertainty when using route guidance.

Function descriptions

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

and Safety instructions.

Voice guidance

Navigation messages are acoustic driving directions for the current route.

The type and frequency of navigation messages depends on the settings and the driving situation, like the start of the route guidance and whether you are driving o

a highway or roundabout.

If the destination cannot be reached exactly, for example because it is not in a digitized area, there will be a navigation announcement that the Destination area has

been reached. Messages about the direction and distance to your destination will also be displayed on the screen.

During dynamic route guidance, reported trafﬁc incidents on the route are announced. There will be an additional navigation announcement if the route is

recalculated due to a trafﬁc incident or a change in driving style .

You can adjust or mute the volume during a trafﬁc announcement. All other navigation announcements will be given at that volume or will be muted.

Navigation messages will not be given if the Infotainment system is muted.
