Navigation announcements

Navigation announcements are acoustic driving instructions for the current route. The type and frequency of navigation

announcements depends on the settings and 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.

Depending on equipment and in some countries, information on reported traffic disruptions on the route is provided during dynamic

traffic avoidance. 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.

Several destinations can be defined one after another in the route plan. The starting point is always the vehicle position determined by

the Infotainment system. The route plan contains information on relevant events, such as stopovers and suggested destinations, if

additional window opens with further options. The options available depend on the event and the current settings.

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.
