Selecting on the map

The navigation map contains active areas at many locations which are suitable for destination input. To enter a destination, tap the

Destination input via the navigation map depends on the data status and is not possible for all positions.

Use the off-road navigation function to enter a destination point with unknown data → Off-road navigation.

Off-road navigation

The off-road navigation function calculates routes to selected destination points with unknown data. If a destination point is not on

point on the known roads and then complete the route up to the destination point by a direct connection.

If the address details of a contact are out-of-date, the stored address will be used for route guidance and may lead to the

in the Infotainment system must be fully completed (→ Mobile phone interface).

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 contract for mobile online services is needed 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 “Share my position” mode 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).

Updating navigation data manually

Current navigation data for larger regions, e.g. Western Europe, can be downloaded from the internet at and

stored on a suitable USB data medium available commercially. If you switch off the Infotainment system, installation will be

interrupted and will automatically continue once the unit is switched on again.

1. Download the navigation data and save on a USB data medium.

2. Switch on the vehicle ignition.

3. Connect a USB data storage device to the Infotainment system when the vehicle is stationary.

The navigation data for regions that are currently frequently travelled is automatically updated in the background.

No message appears in the Infotainment system while the navigation data is being updated, or once the update is complete.
