Navigation system
Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment and functions which are not installed in
your vehicle, for example on account of the op‐
tional equipment selected or the country specifi‐
cation. This also applies to safety-relevant func‐
tions and systems. Please comply with the
relevant laws and regulations when using the
corresponding functions and systems.
Overview
General
The navigation system can determine the pre‐
cise position of the vehicle by means of satellites
and guide you reliably to any specified destina‐
tion.
Navigation data is saved in the vehicle and can
be updated with a USB data storage medium.
Certain navigation system services are only avail‐
able in full if you agree to the data protection
terms. The services, see page 30, can be con‐
figured individually.

dents. Only operate the systems or devices if
permissible in the traffic situation. Stop if nec‐
essary and operate the systems or devices with
the vehicle at a standstill.

Real Time Traffic Information
RTTI
In some countries, RTTI is transmitted via addi‐
tional bookable services. RTTI is then used and
displayed instead of the traffic information from
the radio stations.
RTTI enables traffic delays to be located more
accurately and in greater detail. In addition, the
traffic situation off the motorways, for example,
on side streets and urban roads, is extensively
recorded and shown. Diversion recommenda‐
tions can be calculated more precisely on the ba‐
sis of this information. This lowers the risk of
coming across another traffic obstruction on di‐
versions. Several recommended diversions or
further information may be provided.
For journeys in countries where RTTI is not avail‐
able, the system continues to use traffic informa‐
tion from radio stations, if possible.
The function bar of the map view, see page 18,
shows whether traffic information from the Traf‐
fic Message Channel TMC or RTTI is being
used.
"Traffic information"
When route guidance is active, the traffic in‐
formation affecting the calculated route is
shown first, with red symbols. Then the traffic
information not affecting the route is shown

fic information are sorted by distance from
the vehicle's current position.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Why can the current position not be displayed?
▷ The position is in an area not covered by the
data, is in a poor reception area or the system
is currently calculating the position.
Reception will normally be possible in the
open.
Why is a destination with no street details not
transferred to the route guidance system?
▷ No city centre can be determined for the
town/city entered.
Enter any street in the town/city selected and
start route guidance.
Dynamic Route Guidance
Why is a destination not transferred to the route
guidance system?
Principle
▷ The data for the destination is not available in
the navigation data. Choose a destination as
close as possible to the original one.
With Dynamic Route Guidance, the traffic infor‐
mation is taken into account in the calculation of

sition and number of kilometres, the kilometres
travelled and the selected type of trip.
For business trips, the trip destination, purpose
and business partner visited are also entered.
Completed trip book entries are automatically
transferred to the ConnectedDrive Portal, where
they can be shown and edited retrospectively.
Changes must be made within seven days in or‐
der to meet the legal requirements of the finan‐
cial authorities. All changes are logged.
As a template for the financial authorities, a re‐
port can be compiled by the user containing all
the necessary information to ensure compliance
with the country-specific legal requirements.
The entries can be completed both in the vehicle
and in the ConnectedDrive Portal. Final confir‐
