[. . . ] Navigation system TravelPilot RGS 08 Operating instructions General information Operating the system while driving Allowing yourself to be distracted by the TravelPilot RGS 08 can lead to a situation where you are "driving blind". If you are not paying attention to the current traffic situation around you, you could cause a serious accident.

[. . . ] The first section that can be excluded comprises the length of road starting from your vehicle and ending at the next junction but one. The navigation system then calculates a new route starting from the next possible turning which, if possible, will bypass the traffic disruption. To call up the traffic congestion function, press the key. For example: You have entered a small town and are driving your vehicle between road turning A and turning B. The travel information you hear on the radio informs you that there is a disruption to traffic between turning C and D. Now press the key and the traffic congestion menu will appear.
