Traffic information during guidance to the destination
When the navigation system receives a message about a problem section or traffic jam via the TMC channel, and the "Dynamic route" item is not selected, you are informed of it 100 km before this section, for example, of the length of the traffic jam.
Before you approach this section, it informs you of the last opportunity to turn off.
This information also appears when a different menu is open on the control display.
Avoiding traffic jams

In the "Professional" navigation system:
Select "Plan detour" and press the controller.
The system will plan a route to avoid the traffic jam.
In the "Business" navigation system:
Select "Dynamic route planning" and press the controller.
The navigation system calculates the route depending on the road type, as well as the nature and length of the problem section. The route may lead through the problem section or around the traffic jam with a subsequent return to the original route.
