PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

This product is intended to safely provide turn by turn instruction to get you to a desired destination. Please read the following precautions to ensure that you use your navigation system correctly.

L This product is not a substitute for your

personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by the navigation system may never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow route suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.

L Glance at the monitor screen only when

necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner and location.

L Do not input destinations, change settings,

or access any functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor and/or remote control while you are driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system.

L Do not use the navigation system to route

you to emergency services. Not all locations of emergency service providers such as police and fire stations, hospitals, and clinics are contained in the database. Please use your own judgment and your ability to ask for directions in these situations.

L The map database contained within the

media (DVD ROM) in which it is stored is the most recent map data available at the time of production. Because of changes in streets and neighbourhoods, there may be situations where the navigation system may not be able to route you to your desired destination. In these cases, use your own personal judgment.

L The map database is designed to provide

you with route suggestions, it does not take account of the relative safety of a suggested route, or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your destination. The database does not reflect road closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.

L There may be situations where the

navigation system may display the vehicle’s location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation system should correct the vehicle’s position automatically; however, there may be times where you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the case, stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting operation.

L Make certain that the volume level of the

monitor is set to a level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident.

L Please make certain that any other person

who intends on using the navigation system reads these precautions and the following instructions carefully.

L If there is anything in the manual which you

do not understand, or are uncertain about the operation of the navigation system, please contact an authorized Alpine representative before using the navigation system.

Preface

Navigation terminology

Navigation

The navigation system displays and tracks the vehicle’s position and movement on a moving map display. When a destination is input, the navigation system quickly calculates a route and guides you along the route with pictorial displays and voice prompts.

Current vehicle position

The navigation system integrates the GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) signals received and the map information stored on the DVD ROM to display the position and direction of the vehicle. The system also includes a gyroscope and a speed sensor that enable it to display the present position even in locations where the GPS signals may be blocked.

Current vehicle position

Map matching

Since GPS navigation has an error of 100 – 655 feet (30 m – 200 m), the position of your vehicle may be displayed off the road. Map matching automatically corrects this error so that the position of your vehicle is displayed on the road.

Memory points

Locations you go to frequently can be stored into memory and marked on the map. The system can store up to 200 points. You can add icons at the memory points so that the system also displays the icons on the map.

Memory point mark

Motorway-preference selection

When searching for routes with the navigation system, you can switch between searching for routes that give priority to motorways and those that give priority to ordinary roads. When you specify motorway preference, the navigation system automatically searches for a route that gives priority to motorways and guides you along that route.

Destination

The point on the map that is your destination is specified and displayed with the destination icon. You can set up to 5 destinations for the same journey.

Route

When a destination is input, the navigation system automatically calculates a route and displays it in blue on the map.

Destination icon

Route (Blue)

Features

• Detour of Congestion Area

Areas in London, for example, where a congestion tax has been introduced, are shown in pink on the map (scale less than 1.6km). You can also search for a detour of a congested area.

• Active Route Search Function

While following the route you have set, this function continuously searches for alternative routes to optimize travel time. In addition, if a TMC traffic event occurs, an alternative route will be searched. You will be immediately informed of any new route that becomes available.

• 3-Dimensional Map Display

A bird's eye view, 3-dimensional map can also be displayed.

• Ordinary Road Lane Information

Display

If lane information is given at an ordinary crossroads, you can safely follow the lane information as displayed.

• Automatic Route Calculation

Just select the destination and your navigation system does the rest, automatically searching for the route you need.

• Real Time Voice Guide

A voice guide informs you of the distance and direction until your course changes, giving advice timed to match road conditions. The VOICE button lets you repeat the last voice guide when needed by just pushing the button. The voice guidance may not be given if the vehicle’s present position is too near the destination.

• Dual-screen Display

Two different maps or guidance screens can be displayed simultaneously. For example, the map screen and the arrow-guide screen, or the map screen and the motorway screen.

• Voice Guidance and 3-D Junction View Display at an Exit or Junction on Motorways

When you approach an exit or junction on the motorway, the system gives you voice guidance using the same name as shown on the road signboards. An exit or junction is shown on the display in real appearance.

• Map Zooming

You can change the map display in 14 magnification scales (50,100, 200, 400, 800,

1.6K, 3K, 7K, 13K, 26K, 50K, 100K, 200K and 400K metres) to show more detailed or wider views by pressing the 3 or 4 button on the remote control.

• Direct Input of Name of Place of Interest

Input only the name of a place of interest (without inputting the city name) to search for the route to the place of interest.

• Twelve Languages Selectable for the Voice Guidance

You can choose one of the twelve languages (English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Danish, Polish, Hungarian, Czech or Slovak) for the voice route guidance.

• Multiple-Destination Setting

You can set up to 5 destinations in any order you like for the same journey.

• Intersection Zoom

As you near intersections and cross points, the map display automatically zooms in to show a more detailed view that you will need. This means there is no need to press the zoom buttons.

(To be continued)

• Direct Inputting of Phone Number

By inputting the phone number of a memory point you have stored, the system can search for it as the destination.

Preface

• Built-in Gyroscope and Speed Sensors

The gyroscope for sensing direction and the speed pulse sensor for detecting distance provide data which allows the vehicle position and direction to be displayed even in locations where the GPS signals cannot be received such as between high buildings or in tunnels.

• Motorway Information Display

When you travel on motorways, the basic guidance display (with an arrow) automatically shows the distances to the next fuel station/ restaurant/parking/junction (except exit).

• Built-in RDS-TMC Receiver

Real time traffic information from the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) will be automatically received. In the event of a traffic jam or traffic restriction, etc., you will be informed by voice and visual guidance.

TMC traffic information is already broadcast in Germany, UK, France, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Norway and Finland.

•RDS-TMC information may not be received

depending on FM radio reception and TMC service conditions.

• Two Types of Operation

The operation for the navigation system can be performed with both the supplied remote control (RUE-4141) or touch button.*

Touch button operation can be performed only when you

connect to Alpine Touch panel-compatible monitor IVAD310R, IVA-D310RB, IVA-D100R, IVA-D100RB, IVAW200Ri, TME-M770S or TME-M860, etc. For details, refer to “Touch operation” on page 13. See also the Owner’s Manual of the touch panel-compatible monitor.

How to Use the Disc

There are two discs: the EAST version, and the WEST version. Information other than Coordinates and Memory points contained in the EAST version disc cannot be searched by the WEST version disc, and vice versa. Places in the EAST version disc area, for example, can only be found on the EAST version disc. The EAST and WEST version discs cover the areas as shown in grey below. There are some overlap countries* which are stored in both discs.

* Overlap countries: Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, and Denmark

EAST version disc area WEST version disc area

Notes:

• You can set a destination outside of the disc area by Coordinates (latitude and longitude) or Memory

point search, but neither the route search nor guidance is performed. (Use the directional arrow and straight-line distance information to proceed to your destination.) For details, refer to “Searching from memory points” (page 34) and “Searching from coordinates” (page 37).

• If you insert the disc not corresponding to your current position, the map screen is not displayed,

but the compass screen (current vehicle position information display) is.

Tips:

Displaying the route to a destination outside of the disc area:

To display the route to a destination outside of the disc area, add a mid-stage destination in an overlapping country that is between your current car position and your final destination. Proceed on the highlighted route to the mid-stage destination, then switch discs, and proceed to the final destination. Refer to “Adding destinations” on page 41.

Before Using The System
