Navigation* – traffic information

The navigation system constantly receives updated traffic information, which is used for dynamic guidance. When situations occur that may cause delays (e.g., an accident, road work), this will be displayed on the screen. If a destination has been set, the route to it will be recalculated, which can occur automatically or require confirmation, see Rerouting on request.

TMC is a standardized system for broadcasting traffic information. The vehicle's radio automatically tunes to the correct frequency.

Traffic information is displayed differently depending on whether or not a destination has been set.
