Navigation
Introduction
The current vehicle position is determined by a global satellite system. In order to enable optimum navigation to your destination, all measured values and possible
traffic information are compared with the available map material.
Audible navigation aids and graphic representations lead you to your destination.Audible navigation aidsAcoustic navigation announcements and graphic displays
lead you to your destination.
In some countries, it may not be possible to select some Infotainment system functions on the screen when driving above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction
but rather compliance with legal regulations.
WARNING
Configuring settings, entering destinations and changing settings for the navigation system while driving can distract the driver and cause accidents and
injuries.
Always drive attentively and responsibly.
Only adjust settings, enter destinations, or change navigation information when the vehicle is stationary.
If you missed a turn on your route, the navigation system may recalculate the route.
The quality of the driving directions depends on the available navigation data and any reported traffic incidents.
The corresponding VW Car-Net service needs to be activated to use online functions and mobile online services, e.g. traffic information.
Navigation restrictions
If the Infotainment system cannot receive data from GPS satellites, for example in a tunnel, navigation will still be possible using the vehicle's sensors.
In areas that are not digitized or only partially digitized in the Infotainment system memory, the Infotainment system will still try to provide route guidance.
If navigation data is missing or incomplete, the vehicle position may not be determined accurately. This may result in navigation that is not as accurate as usual.
Routing is subject to ongoing changes, like new streets, construction zones, road closures, or changes to street names or house numbers. Using outdated
navigation data can lead to errors or uncertainty when using route guidance.
Function descriptions
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
and Safety instructions.
Voice guidance
Navigation messages are acoustic driving directions for the current route.
The type and frequency of navigation messages depends on the settings and the driving situation, like the start of the route guidance and whether you are driving o
a highway or roundabout.
If the destination cannot be reached exactly, for example because it is not in a digitized area, there will be a navigation announcement that the Destination area has
been reached. Messages about the direction and distance to your destination will also be displayed on the screen.
During dynamic route guidance, reported traffic incidents on the route are announced. There will be an additional navigation announcement if the route is
recalculated due to a traffic incident or a change in driving style.
You can adjust or mute the volume during a traffic announcement. All other navigation announcements will be given at that volume or will be muted.
Navigation messages will not be given if the Infotainment system is muted.

High speeds, poor weather and road conditions, a lot of background noise, even outside the vehicle, and the network quality can impair phone calls in the vehicle.
The phone interface may contain an antenna amplifier that improves the reception quality of the cell phone.
You generally only need to pair a device like a cell phone once. You can reestablish the device's connection to the Infotainment system at any time via
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi without re-pairing your device.
For a phone call via the hands-free system or at a high volume, a conversation may also be heard by third parties outside the vehicle.
Locations with special regulations
Switch off the cell phone and phone interface at locations where there is a risk of explosions. These locations are not always clearly identified. These include, for
example:
Areas near pipes and tanks containing chemicals
Lower decks in ships and ferries
Areas near vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane and butane.
Areas with chemicals or particles in the air, such as flour, dust, or metal powder
All other locations where the engine, the vehicle's drive system or the cell phone must be switched off.
WARNING
In potentially explosive environments, e.g. in the vicinity of gas stations and at other similar locations with specific regulations, ignition sparks caused by
electrostatic discharge or cell phones, for example, can cause an explosion or a fire and lead to serious or fatal injuries.
Switch off the cell phone and phone interface at locations where there is a risk of explosions, e.g. in the vicinity of gas stations, and locations with specific
regulations.
Do not use the cell phone and phone interface at locations where there is a risk of explosions, e.g. in the vicinity of gas stations, and locations with
specific regulations.
NOTICE
Radiation from cell phones that are switched on can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices, potentially causing malfunctions or damage to the
devices.
Always switch off the cell phone in areas with special regulations relating to or prohibiting the use of cell phones.
Types of phone interface
Depending on the country and vehicle equipment, your vehicle may have the following mobile phone interfaces:
Phone interface basic configuration.
The phone interface uses the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) Bluetooth profile for transmission. This enables the use of phone functions via the Infotainment system
and played back via the vehicle speakers.
Convenience phone interface.
Just like the basic configuration of the phone interface, the Convenience phone interface uses the HFP Bluetooth profile.
The Convenience phone interface can be equipped with the wireless charging function ⇒ Charging Options for Mobile Devices. In order to use the features of
the wireless charging function, you need to place a suitable cell phone correctly in the storage compartment. Depending on the vehicle equipment and cell
phone compatibility, the cell phone connects to the vehicle antenna when you place it in the storage compartment. This improves reception and call quality.
