Introduction
The current vehicle position is determined by means of a global satellite system. All measured values and any traffic
reports are compared with the available map material in order to enable optimal navigation to the destination.
The navigation is operated on the screen.
Acoustic navigation announcements and graphic representations guide the user to the destination.
Depending on the country, some Infotainment system functions can no longer be selected when the vehicle is
travelling above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but simply a legal requirement.
WARNING
Configure settings and enter destinations and changes for navigation only when the vehicle is stationary.
If a turn is missed during a route guidance, the navigation may recalculate the
route.
The quality of the navigation recommendations depends on the navigation data available and any reported
traffic problems.
TMC traffic reports are only played on the Infotainment system if theVolkswagen We Connect service is
activated.
Navigation announcements
Navigation announcements are acoustic driving directions for the route currently travelled.
The type and frequency of navigation announcements depends on the settings and the driving situation, e.g.
motorway driving.
A navigation announcement informing you that you have reached your destination area is played if the exact
destination cannot be reached, e.g. because it is located in an area with no digital mapping. In addition, information
about the direction and distance to the destination is shown on the screen.
During dynamic route guidance, you receive information about reported traffic disruptions on the route. An additional
navigation announcement is given if the route is recalculated due to a traffic disruption or changed driving style
(→ Navigation).
The volume of a navigation announcement can be adjusted or muted while the announcement is playing. All other
navigation announcements will be at this volume setting or will be muted.
Navigation announcements are not output when the Infotainment system is
muted.
Limitations of the navigation function
If the Infotainment system cannot receive any data from GPS satellites, e.g. in a tunnel, navigation can still continue
using the vehicle sensors.
In areas that are not or only partially digitised in the Infotainment system's memory, the Infotainment system also
tries to enable route guidance.
If navigation data are unavailable or incomplete, the navigation system may be unable to determine the exact vehicle
position. As a result, the navigation may not be as exact as usual.
Road layouts are subject to continuous change, e.g. due to road works. If the navigation data is out of date, errors or
inaccuracies may occur during route guidance.
