Navigation can propose up to 5 routes at the same  
time. The proposed routes may be different from the  
guidance routes to the normal destination.  
The second connected device can be used to receive  
calls via infotainment and for media playback.  
If one of the proposed routes is selected, guidance to the  
destination is started.  
High speed driving, bad weather and road conditions,  
a noisy environment (also outside the vehicle), as well  
as the quality of the network, can negatively affect in-  
vehicle phone calls.  
Route guidance follows the selected route until the  
vehicle deviates from it. In this case, the route is  
recalculated and leads again by the most direct path to  
the initially selected route.  
As a general rule, the pairing of a device (for  
example, a mobile phone device) is only  
necessary once. You can reset the device connection via  
Bluetooth  
Significant traffic delays are taken into account in route  
guidance, and are avoided if available.
