played with a red border.

Displaying traffic obstructions
If a traffic obstruction is reported to the naviga-
tion system and "Dynamic route" is not
selected, then you will be provided with certain
information from a distance of approx. 25 miles/
40 km, e.g. the length of the traffic jam.
The last possible junction will be displayed
shortly before this.
Select "Detour" and press the controller.
The navigation system determines a new route
to bypass the traffic congestion.
This information is displayed even if you have
activated a different function on the Control

Dynamic route planning
When "Dynamic route" is selected, the route
will be changed automatically in the event of a
traffic obstruction. The system does not point
out traffic obstructions along the original route.
Depending on road type and the kind and extent

may nevertheless lead through the traffic
obstruction.
