Applies to vehicles: with navigation system
Select: NAV button > control button
Settings.
The route is calculated according to various criteria.
Route criteria
Dyn. traffic avoidance: When the
dynamic traffic avoidance function is
on, the route is automatically optimised using the current
TMC traffic information. If the MMI system does not display
a detour route although the dynamic traffic avoidance function
is on and a traffic jam has been
reported on the planned route, this is because the estimated
time required for the detour is longer than the estimated time
required for remaining on the route with the traffic jam.
Alternative routes: When this function
is on, up to three suggested routes
and their characteristics are displayed in the legend menu on
the MMI display. In the map display the route which was calculated
on the basis of your criteria is highlighted. Turn and press
the rotary pushbutton to select the possible alternative routes.
Route type: You can select a
short, fast
or economical route.
Motorway/Vignette1)/Toll
road1)/Tunnel1)/Ferry1)/Motorail1):
If you do not want the navigation system to include motorways,
vignette/toll roads, tunnels, ferries or motorail transit routes
in the route calculation, you can set the option
avoid1).
Closed certain times: Select
avoid to exclude roads that are
closed at certain times of the day (e.g. pedestrian zones) from
the route calculation. When auto
is selected, the MMI system will determine whether the restricted
road can be included in the route calculation based on the entries
stored in the navigation data.
Seasonally restricted: Select
avoid to exclude roads that are
closed during certain seasons (e.g. mountain passes) from the
route calculation. When auto is
selected, the MMI system will determine whether the seasonally
restricted road can be included in the route calculation based
on the entries stored in the navigation data.
Map colours
day/night:
The map is displayed with a light/dark background colour.
auto: When the lights are on, the
map scheme will switch from day to night.
Orientation
north2):
To set the map to face north.
dir. of travel: To set the map
to face the direction of travel. If the map scale is more than
100 km, the map is set to face north to make orientation easier.
auto: If the scale is less than
5 km, the map is set to face the direction of travel. If the
scale is more than 5 km, the map is set to face north.
Map type
destination: The destination is
marked with a chequered flag. The map indicates the navigation
destination and is set to face north.
position 2D: The map depicts the
vehicle's current location. The map orientation corresponds
to the setting in the Orientation
menu
Link.
position 3D: When this function
is activated, the current vehicle position is displayed in a
three-dimensional terrain model, and the map is set automatically
to face the dir. of travel. If
the map scale is more than 100 km, the map is set to face north.
Any existing three-dimensional town models are shown on the
display when the scale is set to between 30 m and 100 m; three-dimensional
landmarks are displayed when the scale is between 30 m and 200
m.
overview: The entire route from
the vehicle position to the final destination is displayed on
the map. The map scale varies according to the length of the
route. The map is set to face north.
Map content
The display of map content such as traffic information, favourite
destinations or restaurants can be switched on
and off.

In addition, the street you are currently on, upcoming turn-offs,
traffic information or special destinations on the current route
are displayed.
The next turn-off is listed at the bottom of the list.
Automatic zoom
on: The map scale is selected automatically
according to the category of the road you are on (motorway,
major road, other road) to ensure that you always have the best
possible overview of the route ahead. When there is an upcoming
turn-off, the map display will automatically zoom in for a better
view of the details.
Intersection: When route guidance
is active and there are upcoming turn-offs, the map display
will temporarily switch to a more detailed scale so that the
road layout can be identified more easily.
off: The map scale you have set
will remain unaltered.
