Word-matching principle The system supports the word matching princi- ple to make it easier for you to enter the names of streets or towns/cities. The system runs ongoing checks, comparing your destination entries with the data stored in the vehicle as the basis for instant response. The user benefits include: > Names of specific locations can also vary from the official versions if you are using a spelling that is customary in another coun- try. Example: Instead of "München", you can also enter the English spelling "Munich" or the Italian spelling "Monaco".
> When you are entering the names of towns/ cities and streets the system will complete them automatically as soon as enough let- ters are available to ensure unambiguous identification.
> The system offers only those letters for
selection of name entries that are stored in the vehicle. The system will not accept non existent names and addresses.

Destination guidance
Starting destination guidance 1. "Navigation" 2. "Enter address" 3. Select the destination. 4. "Accept destination" 5. "Start guidance" The route is displayed on the Control Display after it is calculated. The distance to the destination/intermediate destination and the estimated time of arrival are displayed in the map view.
Terminating destination guidance 1. "Navigation" 2. "Map" 3. Select the 4. "Stop guidance"
symbol.
Continuing destination guidance If the destination was not reached during the last trip, destination guidance can be resumed. "Resume guidance"
Route criteria
General information You can influence the calculated route by choosing certain route criteria. You can change the route criteria as often as you like while entering the destination and whenever the des- tination guidance is active. The route is planned according to fixed rules. The road type is taken into account, e.g.
158
whether it is a highway or a winding road. As a result, the routes recommended by the naviga- tion system may not always be the same ones that you would choose based on personal expe- rience. The settings are stored for the remote control currently in use.
Changing route criteria 1. "Navigation" 2. "Map" 3. "Route preference" 4. Selecting a criterion:
> "Fast route": time-optimized route,
which is a combination of the shortest possible route and the fastest roads
> "Efficient route": optimized combination
of the fastest and shortest roads
> "Short route": short distance, irrespec- tive of how fast or slow progress will be > "Alternative routes": other suggested
alternative routes while destination guidance is active
5. Select additional route criteria, if desired.
Where possible, the selected criteria will be avoided on the route. > Avoid highways where possible:
"Avoid highways"
> Avoid toll roads where possible:
"Avoid toll roads"
> Avoid ferries where possible:
"Avoid ferries"
The setting applies to the current route and to the planning of future routes.
Dynamic destination guidance "Dynamic guidance" is switched on: The route is automatically changed in the event of traffic obstructions. The system does not point out traffic obstructions along the original route. 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.
Activating dynamic destination guidance 1. "Navigation" 2. Open "Options". 3. "Dynamic guidance"
If the "Avoid highways", "Avoid toll roads" or "Avoid ferries" route criteria are
selected, route calculation may take consider- ably longer.<

Traffic information* You can display the traffic bulletins from radio stations that broadcast the TMC (Traffic Mes- sage Channel) of a traffic information service. This information from the traffic information service is continuously updated on the basis of measurement data from traffic control centers and information on traffic congestion. During destination guidance, traffic bulletins that are relevant to areas along the route are automatically displayed and taken into account
161
in the route planning. You can open all traffic bulletins manually using iDrive. The traffic bulletins are shown in the map dis- play.

Traffic bulletins during destination guidance System response will vary depending on whether or not "Dynamic guidance" is selected, refer to page 159. During destination guidance, traffic obstruc- tions on the route are taken into consideration. Information on sources of great danger, such as wrong-way drivers, is displayed regardless of the setting.
Displaying traffic obstructions When the navigation system receives a traffic obstruction message and "Dynamic guidance" is not selected, you will be shown certain infor- mation, such as the length of the traffic conges- tion, when you are approx. 30 miles/50 km away from the traffic obstruction. The last possible detour exit is indicated just before you reach it. This information is displayed even if you have called up another application on the Control Display.

Dynamic route planning When "Dynamic guidance" is selected, the route will be changed automatically in the event of a traffic obstruction. The system will not point out traffic obstructions on the original route. Depending on the road type and the kind and extent of the traffic obstruction, the newly cal- culated route may lead through the traffic obstruction.

What to do if …
What to do if … > The current position cannot be displayed? The position is in an unrecognized region, in a poor reception area, or the system is in the process of determining the position. Reception is best when you have an unob- structed view to the sky.
> The destination guidance does not accept
an address without the street name? A downtown area cannot be determined for the town or city that has been entered. Input any street in the selected town/city and start destination guidance.
> The destination guidance does not accept a
destination? The destination data is not contained in the navigation data. Select a destination that is as close as possible to the original.
> The letters for a destination cannot be
selected during destination entry? Stored data do not contain the data of the destination. Select a destination that is as close as possible to the original.
> The map view is displayed in grayscale?
When the traffic info map is activated, the picture on the Control Display is switched to a grayscale. This permits an optimized depiction of traffic information.
> Voice instructions are no longer issued before intersections during destination guidance? The area has not been fully recorded yet, or you have left the recommended route and the system requires a few seconds to calcu- late a new route suggestion.
