4.1.4 Speed limit warning

Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. The navigation

system is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available

for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads on the map.

The maximum speed set in the vehicle proﬁ le is also used for this warning. The navigation

system alerts you if you exceed the preset value even if the legal speed limit is higher.

Speed warning can be ﬁ ne-tuned in Sound and Warning settings (page 60).

You can set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.

The following alert types are available:

• Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the

given percentage.

• Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for

example:

You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.

4.1.5 Trafﬁ c information in route planning

The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Ofﬂ ine statistical trafﬁ c

information (historical speed information or trafﬁ c patterns) can be taken into account in the

route calculation based on the time of day and the day of week whenever suitable data exists.

In addition, real-time trafﬁ c information can help you avoid current trafﬁ c events like temporary

road closures or a trafﬁ c jam caused by an accident. Both functions are subject to data

availability.

You can display the historical trafﬁ c information on the map if you browse the map and select

this option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments colored by the

density of the trafﬁ c in the given period. The current information is shown when you open the

screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the desired period.

4.1.5.1 Historical trafﬁ c

If statistical trafﬁ c information is stored with the map data, the navigation system can take them

into account when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid usual

trafﬁ c jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like on public holidays

that fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can disable this feature in Trafﬁ c

settings (page 62).

You can display statistical trafﬁ c information on the map if you browse the map and select this

option from the More menu.
