Traffic information during route guidance If the navigation system receives traffic infor- mation and "Dynamic route" is not selected, within approx. 100 km, approx. 50 miles of the traffic obstruction, you are provided with spe- cific information such as the length of the con- gestion. The last possible turning to leave the route is displayed to you shortly before you reach it. This information is still displayed if you have called up another application on the control dis- play.
Avoiding congestion
Professional navigation system:
Select "Plan detour" and press the control- ler. The navigation system calculates a new route to avoid the congestion and then takes you back onto the original route.

Representation of traffic information in the map view Professional navigation system: The traffic information symbols are shown in the map view up to a scale of 200 km or 100 miles. At scales of up to 10 km or 5 miles, additional information is displayed. The length, direction and severity of traffic congestion are shown by arrows along the route, e.g.:
Slow-moving traffic
Stop-and-go traffic
Congestion
Congestion in both directions

With the Professional navigation system, you can also have the car's position shown on a map, see page 149.
Business navigation system:
Select "Dynamic route planning" and press the controller. The navigation system calculates a route that depends on the road type and the nature and length of the traffic congestion. The route may lead through the traffic obstruction or avoid the congestion and then take you back onto the original route.
Displaying the car's position* You can have the car's position displayed even with route guidance switched off. 1. Select "Navigation" and press the control-
ler.

Humidity A high level of humidity may cause the laser beam focusing lens to fog over and temporarily prevent the CD/DVD being played.
Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs Should malfunctions occur only with individual CDs/DVDs, one of the following factors may be the cause.
Self-recorded CDs/DVDs With self-recorded CDs/DVDs, possible causes for output malfunctions are, e.g., an inconsist- ent data-creation or burning process, or low quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank. Only write on the upper side of CDs/DVDs using a special marker pen.
Damaged CDs/DVDs Avoid causing fingerprints and protect against dust, scratches and moisture. Store CDs/DVDs in a case. Do not expose CDs/DVDs to temperatures above 506/1227, high levels of humidity or direct sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection CDs/DVDs are often copy-protected by the manufacturer. This could result in CDs/DVDs being impossible to play, or only playable with restrictions.
General care Whenever necessary, use a commercially avail- able cleaning cloth to wipe the reflective signal side of CDs/DVDs in straight motions from the centre outwards.
Inserting the CD magazine
Insert the CD magazine in fully in the direction of the arrow. The CD changer automatically reads in the CDs in the changer and is then operational.
Notes
BMW CD/DVD players and changers are officially designated Class 1 laser prod- ucts. Never use them if the cover is damaged, otherwise there is a risk of serious eye injuries. Do not use CDs/DVDs with adhesive labels that have been affixed subsequently, as these may peel off while in the drive as a result of the tem- peratures to which these media are exposed during playing, and could damage the system irreparably. Use only round CDs/DVDs with a standard diameter of 12 cm, approx. 5 in, and do not use CDs/DVDs in conjunction with adapters, e.g. CD singles, otherwise the CDs or the adapter could jam and be impossible to eject. Do not use combined CD/DVDs, e.g. DVDPlus, otherwise the CD/DVD could jam and be impos- sible to eject.<
General malfunctions BMW CD/DVD players and changers have been optimised for operation in cars. In some instances, they may be more sensitive to faulty CDs/DVDs than stationary devices would be. If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check if it has been properly inserted.
