Traffic information during route
guidance
If the navigation system receives traffic infor-
mation and "Dynamic route" is not selected,
within approx. 100 km, approx. 50 miles of the
traffic obstruction, you are provided with spe-
cific information such as the length of the con-
gestion.
The last possible turning to leave the route is
displayed to you shortly before you reach it.
This information is still displayed if you have
called up another application on the control dis-
play.
