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.
If you sell or loan the vehicle, Volkswagen recommends resetting the Infotainment system to the factory settings (→ First steps in the
Infotainment system). This is the only way of deleting all personal data, e.g. information used for navigation. For further information,
refer to the section on mobile online services (section availability is country-dependent) .
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 output navigation recommendations depends on the navigation data available and, depending on country,
any reported traffic disruptions.
Depending on the vehicle and country, select “Online mode” and a mode with location data in the privacy settings before using
the mobile online services of the navigation system (→ Privacy settings).
The corresponding prerequisites must be met (→ Traffic information), e.g. the corresponding mobile online service must be
activated and, depending on country, the privacy settings adapted, in order to use the mobile online services, e.g. Online
Traffic Information . Only then will Online Traffic Information be output in the navigation system, for example. If no Online
Traffic Information is available, this is displayed in the Infotainment system (→ Navigation).
Restrictions during navigation
When 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 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.
The course of the road is subject to constant changes, e.g. roadworks. In the case of obsolete navigation data, there may be errors or
inaccuracies during navigation.
