NAVIGATION*
*) Available functionality of the navigation system is dependent on the map data
content and may differ on the respective region.
The infotainment system is designed for use in commercial vehicles.
Specifications that are required for route guidance of commercial vehicles,
such as height restrictions or maximum permissible loads, are considered in
the route calculations, to the extent that these specifications are stored in
the navigation data.
- Pay attention to restrictions in road traffic at all times during the trip, even if
you follow the recommendations of the driving unit. The information stored
in the navigation data may be incorrect, incomplete or outdated.
- Only use current navigation SD cards that contain relevant information for
commercial vehicles for updating the navigation data.
- The map data to the SD card are sometimes not up to date - some roads
are not included or names and addresses differ from those that were in use
at the time of card production.
- Make sure that the characteristics of your vehicle and the current load are
always completely stored in the infotainment system in order to avoid the
calculation of unsuitable or dangerous routes.
- The use of the navigation system does not release the driver of
responsible and proper driving behavior. You must always follow the
relevant traffic rules. If the navigation instructions do not correspond to
traffic rules, always observe traffic rules first.
FUNCTIONS OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The system reliably leads you to your desired destinations, even if you are not
familiar with the local area.
The orientation and movement of the vehicle is detected by several sensors. The
reception is based on GPS but will also work under poor signal conditions (e.g. inside
a tunnel) due to used dead reckoning mechanisms. Depending on environment
conditions in individual cases the reception could be too poor to detect the current
location correctly. After entering the destination address or a contact point (e.g.
nearest petrol station, hotel, etc.), the route is calculated from the current location to
the selected destination. The navigation system provides voice- and textual guidance
including direction arrows on the map colour display.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION SYSTEM AND DYNAMIC NAVIGATION
The system is capable to receive traffic information available by TMC and TPEG
broadcasting radio stations (available with optional DAB radio function). TMC and/or
TPEG coverage is available in selected countries.
Traffic information is displayed detailed in the menu TRAFFIC and as icons in the
navigation map. If dynamic rerouting is active the system takes on-route traffic
information into route calculation depending on selected criteria and traffic
information type.
See also chapter "Traffic information Menu*" on page 88 for further options.
