Navigation app
Note
Latest app version
Be sure to update the app whenever there's a new version available. Functionality and support for old versions may vary.
Connected navigation features
Whenever your car is connected to the internet, it can get the latest navigation information.
| Real-time traffic information | You can get real-time traffic information if the car is connected to the internet. For example, you can see if traffic is moving slowly. Different coloured lines that correspond to traffic situations will appear on your chosen map route. If the internet connection is lost, the lines disappear after a while. You also get information about traffic conditions along the chosen route, such as roadworks or accidents. |
| Alternative routes and redirected traffic | When you set a destination in the navigation app, the fastest route is suggested while also taking your navigation settings into account. For example, you can choose to avoid tolls or ferries. The chosen route can be redirected while you are driving, such as when there is an accident or a traffic condition that affects your travelling time. |
| Sharing information with other devices | Link your Google account to an active user profile to get the same Google Maps information in your car as on your other devices. Destinations saved to your Google account using other devices, such as home, work, favourites and last searches, are then also available in your car. |
Offline maps
When you are connected to the internet, Google Maps automatically downloads map data based on your current position so that it is available even if your car has poor reception or no internet connection. You can also choose to select and download a map area yourself. This feature is available in Google Maps' settings.
Displayed information
- Travel time
- Distance to the next destination on your route, such as an extra stop
- Estimated time of arrival
- The name of the next destination on your route
Depending on the selected display mode, the driver display shows different amounts of map and guidance information.
Navigation settings
You can change the navigation settings in the navigation app.
Warning
Avoid driver distraction
Avoid any interaction with the car's system or other devices that may distract you from driving safely. Any task that does not allow you to keep your attention on the road and surrounding traffic should be performed when the car is parked.
Note
Navigation limitations
- The navigation feature is from a third-party supplier. Availability, procedure and functionality may vary over time and depend on region.
- Navigation instructions can sometimes be less reliable than usual due to factors such as weather or road conditions.
Poor or no internet connection
The navigation app can have trouble finding a route or signal when you are in a location which can interfere with your internet connection, such as a tunnel or multi-storey car park.
