Word-matching principle The system's word-matching principle makes it easier to enter the names of towns or streets. 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: > Town/city names can also be entered differ-
ently from the official names if you use a form that is customary in other countries. 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.

Route guidance with traffic information
General information In semi-dynamic route guidance systems, detour suggestions by the navigation system can be added manually. In dynamic route guid- ance systems, they are automatically included in the route guidance.
Semi-dynamic route guidance With traffic information reception switched on, semi-dynamic route guidance is active. The system takes into account the existing traffic information during route guidance. A message is displayed as a function of the route, the traffic information, and the possible alternate routes. When there are obstructions to traffic, an alter- nate route is provided. The difference in dis- tance and time between the original route and the alternate route are also displayed. Taking an alternate route:

Route guidance
With particular hazards, e.g. objects on the road- way, 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. 4. "Detour information" 5.

Dynamic route guidance The route is automatically changed in the event of traffic obstructions. > The system will not point out traffic obstruc-
tions on the original route.
> Traffic information will continue to be dis-
played 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.

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. Recep- tion is best when you have an unobstructed view to the sky.
> The route 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 route guidance.
> The route guidance does not accept a desti-
nation? 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 route 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.
> The navigation system does not react to
entries? If the battery was disconnected, it takes about 10 minutes before the system is once again operational.
