WARNING Risk of distraction from operat-  
ing integrated communication equipment  
while the vehicle is in motion  
For this reason, you must always observe road  
and traffic rules and regulations during your jour-  
ney as well as the prevailing traffic conditions.  
The route can differ from the ideal route, for  
example in the event of roadworks or incomplete  
digital map data.  
The following displays and functions are also avail-  
able in the navigation window, for example:  
If you operate communication equipment inte-  
grated in the vehicle when driving, you could

The correct function of the navigation system  
depends amongst other things on reception of the  
satellite system used. In certain situations satel-  
lite reception can be impaired, malfunction or  
even not be possible, e.g. in tunnels or in multi-  
storey car parks.  
Only operate this equipment when the  
traffic situation permits.

Emergency corridors  
If you do not follow the driving instructions or if  
you leave the calculated route, a new route is cal-

If, for example, the route is diverted or the direc-  
tion of a one-way road has been reversed, driving  
instructions may deviate from the actual traffic  
situation.

You must observe the legal requirements for the  
country in which you are currently driving when  
operating the multimedia system.

R
Preparation phase  
If there is enough time between the changes  
of direction, the multimedia system prepares  
you for the upcoming change of direction. A

pare to turn right".

Announcement phase  
The multimedia system announces the upcom-  
ing change of direction, e.g. by announcing  
"Turn right in 300 m".  
When the Auto zoom map orientation is  
switched off (/ page 540), a detailed repre-

The file size and therefore the duration of sin-  
gle recording is limited by the limitations of  
the USB flash drive format. So FAT32 format-  
ted USB flash drives do not allow files larger  
than 4 GB, for example.  
When the file size is reached, the recording  
stops and you receive a notification.  
Select the USB device.  
To select a recording mode: select Loop  
recording or Individual recording.  
Loop recording records several short video  
files. When the memory is full, recording is  
continued automatically. In doing so, other  
files will be overwritten starting with the oldest  
file.  
Individual recording stops recording when the  
memory limit is reached. An individual record-  
ing is automatically protected against being  
overwritten.

When USB devices contain multiple partitions,  
recorded video files are not always displayed  
in the recording list.
