Sensus navigation

Updated 2023-06-08

This article provides basic information and examples about operating the Sensus Navigation system.

The navigation system can be operated from the center console, the steering wheel keypad and in certain cases by using voice control.

Activating Sensus Navigation

Press the NAV button on the center console.

After a short wait, a map of the current area will appear on the screen. The location of your vehicle will be indicated by a blue triangle.

Warning

Always use good judgment when following navigation system guidance, and do not follow guidance that seems contrary to your own best judgment.
Never use the navigation system or any other feature in your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a serious accident.
Set and make changes in your navigation system only with the vehicle parked.
Be aware of the current traffic situation.
Always comply with relevant traffic regulations.
Due to weather conditions or time of year affecting the road conditions, some recommendations may be less reliable.

The navigation system cannot be turned off and remains active in the background. However, it switches off automatically when the ignition is switched off.

Note

The system can be used even when the engine is not running but will be switched off automatically if the battery's charge level is low.

Menus

The navigation system's menus consist of shortcuts, main menus and scroll menus. See the infotainment information in the vehicle's owner's manual for additional information.

In Scroll mode, the cursor is moved across the map using number keys on the center console.

Centering the map
