G
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting
your attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display for
directions may cause you to divert your at-
tention from driving and increase your risk
of an accident.

If Russian or Chinese is set as the system
language, the navigation announcements are in
English. You will find how to set the system lan-
guage on (

Navigation announcements are muted during
telephone calls. You can, however, call up a cur-
rent announcement at any time. You can also
