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 reports 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
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.
Traffic reports are only given in the navigation system if the available VW Car-Net service has been activated.

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 on 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.
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.

Navigation data
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice and.
The Infotainment system is equipped with an internal navigation data storage medium. Depending on the country, the required navigation data may already be installed.
The Infotainment system always requires up-to-date navigation data to ensure that route guidance can be implemented correctly and that the functions provided are fully available.
NOTICE
If you use outdated navigation data, there may be adverse effects on the navigation system. It may not be possible to determine up-to-date routes, or route guidance may guide you to an incorrect destination.
-
Always ensure that your navigation data is kept up-to-date.
Updating navigation data online
Navigation data for frequently visited regions is automatically updated in the background when the ignition is switched on and there is an active Internet connection.
-
Switch the ignition on.
-
Check the Internet connection, if necessary.
Navigation data for frequently visited regions is automatically updated in the background.
Automatic updates to navigation data depend on the country.
Updating navigation data manually
Up-to-date navigation data for larger regions, such as Western Europe, can be downloaded online at www.volkswagen.com and stored on a suitable USB data carrier, available to buy in stores. If the Infotainment system is switched off during the process, installation will be interrupted and it will continue automatically once the system is turned on again.
-
Download and save the navigation data onto a USB data storage device.
-
Switch the vehicle ignition on.
-
Link the USB data carrier to the Infotainment system when the vehicle is stationary.
The navigation data for frequently driven regions is automatically updated in the background.
While and after updating the navigation data, no message appears in the Infotainment system.
If you update the navigation data manually, the USB data carrier must remain permanently connected. You will not receive a notification when the update is complete.
Do not disconnect the USB data carrier from the Infotainment system for a few days until the navigation data for visited regions has been fully downloaded and installed. The installation will start automatically in the background during the journey. Doing so will cancel the update process. If you disconnect the data carrier and visit a new region, the navigation data is not updated due to the lack of a USB data carrier.
