WARNING
If the infotainment system cannot receive data from
GPS satellites, for example in a tunnel or underground
garage, navigation continues using the vehicle's sensors.
Only carry out settings, destination entry and changes
for navigation when the vehicle is stationary.
If you miss a turnoff during route guidance, the
navigation may recalculate the route.
In areas that are not digitized or with incomplete
digitization in the infotainment system's memory, the
infotainment system continues to try to make route
guidance possible.
The quality of the driving advice issued
depends on the available navigation data and
the traffic delays that have been received.
In the event of missing or incomplete navigation data,
it may not be possible to determine the exact position
of the vehicle. This can cause navigation to not be as
accurate as usual.
Traffic reports will only be issued on the
