Introduction to the topic

The current vehicle position is determined by means of a global satellite system. To enable optimal navigation to the

destination, all readings and possible traffic information are compared with the available map material.

Acoustic navigation announcements and visual guidance direct the driver 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

If settings, destination inputs and changes for the navigation system are made while the vehicle is in motion, this

can distract the driver and cause accidents and injuries.

● Drive with your full attention and with responsibility.

● Configure the settings and enter destinations and changes for the navigation only when the vehicle is stationary.

The navigation may recalculate the route if the driver misses a

turning.

The quality of the navigation recommendations depends on the navigation data available and any reported

traffic jams.

Depending on the country, activate “Online mode” and “Send location data” in the privacy settings before

using the online functions and mobile online services of the navigation system (→ Privacy settings).

The corresponding VW Connect service must be activated in order to use the online functions and mobile

online services, e.g. traffic information.

390

Restrictions during navigation

When the Infotainment system cannot receive any data fromGPS

satellites, e.g. in a tunnel, navigation can still continue using the vehicle sensors.

In areas that are not or are not completely included in the Infotainment memory, the Infotainment system will also

try to enable route guidance.

If navigation data is 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 navigation is subject to continuous changes, e.g. new roads, road works, road closures, changes in the road

names and house numbers. In the case of obsolete navigation data, there may be errors or inaccuracies during

navigation.

Function descriptions

Navigation announcements

Navigation announcements are acoustic driving instructions for the current route.

The type and frequency of navigation announcements depends on the driving situation, e.g. start of route guidance,

driving on a motorway or in a roundabout.

A navigation announcement informing you that you have reached the destination area is given if the exact destination

cannot be reached, e.g. because it is located in a non-digitised area. In addition, information on the direction and

distance to the destination are displayed on the screen.

During dynamic route guidance, you receive information about reported traffic jams on the route. An additional

navigation announcement is given if the route is recalculated due to a traffic disruption or changed driving style.

The volume of a navigation announcement can be adjusted or muted during output of the announcement. All other

navigation announcements are given with this volume setting or are muted.

Navigation announcements are not given if the Infotainment system has been

muted.

The Infotainment system stores certain data, e.g. frequently driven routes, so that you can enter destinations quickly

and enjoy the most efficient route guidance.

Deleting stored data

1. Tap

Basic functions Delete usage pattern.

2. Tap confirmation to delete.

Learning usage patterns

While travelling, the navigation saves the routes travelled and destinations arrived at in order to create suggested

destinations automatically. Destinations are learned depending on the time of day and the day of the week.

The navigation system can suggest learned routes. Route guidance begins when one of the suggested routes is

selected.

The route guidance follows the selected route until the vehicle deviates from it. The route is recalculated and will

guide you back to the selected route via a direct alternative.

Relevant traffic disruptions are taken into account in the route guidance. Relevant traffic disruptions will be avoided

if an alternative route and the navigation data is available.

If you drive an already learned route when route guidance is inactive, the destination will be transferred to the route

plan. It is not necessary to actively start route guidance to the learned destination. Warnings may be given about

traffic disruptions and a forecast arrival time will be displayed.

You can activate or deactivate the function at any time and also delete the stored data for the function.

Navigation data

The Infotainment system has an internal navigation data memory. Depending on the country, the required navigation

data is already pre-installed.

In order to carry out route guidance correctly and make full use of the functions offered, the Infotainment system

always requires up-to-date navigation data.

NOTICE

If you use obsolete data, navigation may be impaired. Current routes cannot be determined or route guidance leads

to the wrong destination.

● Always keep navigation data up-to-date.

Online navigation data – expansion

Regions in the navigation data that are not used by the user may be removed from the system under certain

circumstances, for example if there is limited memory space in the navigation data memory. If these regions should

be needed again at a later point in time, the navigation system will download them again on request. No VW Connect

contract or VW Connect Plus contract is required for this. The service depends on the vehicle equipment and is

available only in some countries.

1. Switch on the ignition.

2. Establish an internet connection, if this does not already exist.

3. Depending on the country, also select “Online mode with location data” in the privacy settings (→ Privacy

settings).

Anyone who uses the vehicle as an anonymous guest must reset the privacy settings each time they start the

vehicle (→ Privacy settings).
