4. Tap Route.

Using the address data of a contact

Start navigation using the stored address data of a contact. Stored contacts without address data cannot be used for route guidance.

Starting navigation

1. Tap

2. Tap the desired contact and address data.

3. Tap Route.

If the address details of a contact are out-of-date, the stored address will be used for route guidance and may lead to the

wrong destination.

—When starting route guidance, make sure that the stored address of a contact is up-to-date. For this, the update of the phone book

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

—Wait until the update of the phone book in the Infotainment system is 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.

When you update navigation data manually, the USB data medium must remain continuously connected. No message appears

to indicate that the update has been completed.

Leave the USB data storage device connected to the Infotainment system for a few days until the navigation data for travelled

regions has been completely downloaded and installed. Installation takes place automatically in the background while driving.

Failure to do so will cancel the update.

If you remove the data medium and travel through a new region in offline mode, the navigation data will not be updated, as there is

neither a USBdata storage device nor an internet connection.

Displaying map data version

1. Open the app overview and tap

System information.

traffic disruptions by editing the route plan.
