Route guidance

Introduction to the subject

A routeis created by starting route guidance to a destination. Additional inter-

mediate destinations can be added to the route.
The route guidance takes place as follows

▶

Through graphical driving instructions in the Infotainment display screen and

in the display of the instrument cluster.

▶

With navigation announcements.

Infotainment tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data

is incomplete or there is no data at all for the given area.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or

change the route.

CAUTION

The nav. announcements provided may vary from the actual situations, e.g. due

to out-of-date navigation data.

dent!

danger of an accident!

■

Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running - there is a

risk of theft, accident etc.!

■

Never run the engine in an enclosed space (e.g. in garages) - there is the

danger of poisoning and death!

CAUTION

■

Only start the engine when the engine and the vehicle are stationary - there

is a danger of starter and engine damage!

■

Do not push-start the engine – there is a risk of damaging the engine and the

catalytic converter! The battery from another vehicle can be used as a push-

start aid.

On vehicles with the starter button, pay attention to where the key is loca-

ted. The system can recognize the valid key, even if it has been accidentally

left on the vehicle roof - there is danger of loss or damage to the key!

Note

Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start

your journey as soon as the engine has started. The engine will reach its oper-

ating temperature faster.

Malfunction of the immobilizer

If the immobiliser in the key fails, it is not possible to start the engine. A mes-

biliser is active.
