Semi-dynamic route guidance

With traffic bulletin reception switched on, semi-dynamic route guidance is active.

The system takes into account the existing traffic bulletins during route guidance. A message is displayed as a function of the route, the traffic bulletins, and the possible alternate routes. The message displays the traffic bulletin and in the event of a traffic obstruction, suggests an alternate route. The difference in distance and time between the original route and the alternate route are also displayed.

Taking an alternate route:   "Detour"

With particular hazards, e.g. objects on the roadway, a message is displayed without a possible alternate route.

It is also possible to take alternate routes can also be taken if the traffic reports are accessed via the list:

1.  "Navigation"
2.  "Map"
3.  "Traffic Info"
4.  "Detour information"
5.    "Detour"

Dynamic destination guidance

The route is automatically changed in the event of traffic obstructions.

> The system does not point out traffic obstructions along the original route.
> Traffic bulletins will continue to be displayed on the map.
> Depending on the type of road and the nature and length of the traffic obstruction, the route can also be calculated so that you travel through the traffic obstruction.
> Certain hazards are displayed regardless of the setting.

To activate dynamic route guidance:

1.  "Navigation"
