When you switch on the multimedia system or
aer selecting ©, the digital map is shown in
the zero layer.
The navigation system oers many options for
destination entry, route planning and route guid-
ance. The trac situation is taken into account
during route guidance. When using route guidance
with augmented reality, additional information can
be shown in a camera image before a turning
manoeuvre. Services and apps help you reach the
destination quickly, safely and in comfort.
Start entering the destination via 2 ª on the
digital map. You can enter the POI, address or
contact as the destination on-board or search
online using a map service. Or you select a previ-
ous destination. The destination can be stored
here as a favourite or be saved as an address for
home and work. When the Allow destination sug-
gestions option is switched on, the vehicle makes
suggestions based on your visited navigation des-
tinations. If external destinations and routes are
received from apps or services, these are also
available.
The following options are available for route plan-
ning, for example:
RRoute options
e.g. avoid or use toll roads, tunnels, unpaved
roads or areas
RIntermediate destinations
RAlternative routes
RCommuter route
RAutomatic lling station and service station

You can record and save routes then select or
share them with a USB device.
Lane recommendations are shown during route
guidance on multi-lane roads. When driving on a
motorway, service facilities on the route ahead
can be shown and used for route guidance.
The Live Trac Information service takes the cur-
rent trac situation into account. The map can
show the current trac ow, trac incidents or
warning messages, e.g. before the end of trac
jams that pose a risk.
Hazardous situations on public roads are detected
automatically by the vehicle via Car-to-X-Commu-
nication or these can be reported by the driver.
The early warning makes it possible to adapt your
driving characteristics in good time. Accidents,

broken-down vehicles, weather hazards or a vehi-
cle with activated hazard warning lights are shown
on the map.
For route guidance with augmented reality, infor-
mation objects such as arrows indicating a turn,
street names and house numbers are shown in a
video image during the driving manoeuvre or at
trac lights.
The map shows map data from the database or
from an online map service. In small map scales,
buildings are shown as realistic images. The
online map update service makes possible the
updating of the map data.
Weather information and data from other services
can be shown on the map. Multi-storey car parks
with the corresponding equipment, deliver data
about the current occupancy and about parking
charges, for example.
The options oered vary depending on the coun-
try, vehicle equipment and available services.
