STARTING THE DESTINATION GUIDANCE SYSTEM
Once you have entered or selected the
complete destination address, the city or
town will appear on the screen, along with
the street and house number; "Directions"
is highlighted.
Press the rotary button to start active
guidance.
If the split screen display has been selected,
the expected travel time and the distance
to the destination are displayed in the
lower right half of the screen after the
guidance system is started while the navi-
gation computer calculates the route to the
destination.
The calculation of a new route,
its display and the display of the
exact distance to the destination can take
up to one minute.<
Once the computer has completed its cal-
culations, a route map appears on the left
side of the display screen; this is accompa-
nied by arrows indicating both your general
direction and true north.
On the right side of the split screen, you
will see the name of the street where you
will make your next turn (in the direction
indicated by the arrow) along with the dis-
tance to the intersection, your direction of
travel and your current position.
In addition, you will also be provided with
voice messages that can be repeated, refer
to page 36.
In the lower right half of the screen, the
estimated travel time and the distance to
the destination will also continue to be dis-
played (Distance, refer to page 45).
You will still be guided to your desti-
nation even after selecting another
function of the navigation system, e.g.
onboard computer.
Voice messages combine with the display
on the screen to inform you of upcoming
turns well before you arrive at intersec-
tions.<
