.

Green line: Traffic flowing freely.

Orange line: Slow-moving traffic.

Red line: Queuing or stop-and-go traffic.

No display: Traffic flow display not available for this area.

Avoiding a traffic jam as a result of reported traffic congestion may not necessarily save time if,

for instance, there is also heavy traffic on the alternative route.

The quality of dynamic route guidance depends on the stored navigation data and the traffic

information provided by Sirius.

The route ahead can also be excluded manually, to start a new calculation of the route

guidance. Once a manual location has been entered, the virtual route guidance starts from that
position.

Virtual route guidance is repeated when you reach the fictitious destination and always starts again
from the starting point if it is interrupted.

When real route guidance is started following route guidance in demo mode, the unit first has to reori-
ent itself. Depending on the number of currently received satellites, this orientation may take some
time. Vehicle movement can reduce the re-orientation time.

If the vehicle is moved and the unit can determine its current location by GPS, any manually

entered location will be overwritten with the current vehicle location.

Disable demo mode after use, otherwise you will be prompted to choose between virtual and

normal route guidance each time you start route guidance.
