Navigation

Introduction

361

The current vehicle position is determined by a global satellite system. In order to enable optimum navigation to your

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

Acoustic navigation announcements and graphic displays lead you to your destination.

Depending on the country, it may not be possible to select some Infotainment system functions on the screen when driving

above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but rather compliance with legal regulations.

WARNING

If settings are adjusted, destinations entered and changes made to navigation information while driving, the driver may be

distracted and cause accidents and injuries.

Always drive attentively and responsibly.

Only adjust settings, enter destinations, or change navigation information when the vehicle is stationary.

If you missed a turn on your route, the navigation system may recalculate the route.

The quality of the driving directions depends on the available navigation data and any reported traffic incidents.

Traffic information is only given in the navigation system if the available VW Car-Net service has been activated.

Navigation restrictions

If the Infotainment system cannot receive data from GPS satellites, for example in a tunnel, navigation will still be possible

using the vehicle's sensors.

In areas that are not digitized or only partially digitized in the Infotainment system memory, the Infotainment system will still try

to provide route guidance.

If navigation data is missing or incomplete, the vehicle position may not be determined accurately. This may result in

navigation that is not as accurate as usual.

Routing is subject to ongoing changes, like new streets, construction zones, road closures, or changes to street names or

house numbers. Using outdated navigation data can lead to errors or uncertainty when using route guidance.

Function descriptions

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

and Safety instructions.

Voice guidance

Navigation messages are acoustic driving directions for the current route.

The type and frequency of navigation messages depends on the settings and the driving situation, like the start of the route

guidance and whether you are driving on a highway or roundabout.

If the destination cannot be reached exactly, for example because it is not in a digitized area, there will be a navigation

announcement that the Destination area has been reached. Messages about the direction and distance to your destination wi

also be displayed on the screen.

During dynamic route guidance, reported trafﬁc incidents on the route are announced. There will be an additional navigation

announcement if the route is recalculated due to a trafﬁc incident or a change in driving style.

You can adjust or mute the volume during a trafﬁc announcement. All other navigation announcements will be given at that

volume or will be muted.

Navigation messages will not be given if the Infotainment system is muted.

362

Route plan

Multiple destinations can be deﬁned in succession in the route plan. The starting point is always the vehicle position as

determined by the Infotainment system. The route plan contains information about relevant events, such as waypoints and

destination suggestions, if the relevant data is available to the navigation system. You can move stopovers to another position

within the list. Tapping an event will open a dialog box with additional options. The options available depend on the event and

the current settings.

Preferred POI categories. The system also automatically learns your preferred categories.

Basic function settings

Saved data

In order to enable you to enter destinations quickly and to optimize route guidance, the Infotainment system saves certain

data, such as frequently driven routes and positioning data.

Delete saved data

1. Tap

Basic functions Delete usage pattern.

2. Tap conﬁrm to delete the data.

Learning usage patterns

While driving, the Navigation system saves routes traveled and destinations reached in order to create automatic destination

suggestions. Destinations are learned with reference to the time of day and the day of the week.

The navigation system can suggest pre-learned routes. Selecting one of the suggested routes will cause route guidance to

begin.

The route guidance follows the selected route until you deviate from it. The route will then be recalculated and will lead back t

the selected route via the most direct path.

Relevant trafﬁc disruptions are taken into consideration in route guidance. If an alternative route and the navigation data are

available, relevant disruptions will be avoided.

If you are driving a pre-learned route without active route guidance, the destination is added to the route plan. Route guidance

does not need to be actively started for a journey to a pre-learned destination. You are warned about trafﬁc disruptions if

necessary.

A predicted arrival time is displayed.

You can activate or deactivate this function at any time as well as delete the saved data for this function.
