GENERAL INFORMATION
Explanation of symbols
The following symbols are used in this user manual:
This symbol denotes safety and warning notes. They contain
!
important information about the safe use of your device. Failure
to observe this information may result in damage or injury. There
fore, please observe this information with particular care.
Denotes an action to be taken.
u
Here, you receive useful tips and information about the use of the
t
system.
Terms in quotation marks refer to screen menu options
“
For your safety!
The use of the navigation system by no means relieves the driver of
!
his/her responsibilities. Traffic regulations and current traffic conditions
must always be observed. They will always have precedence over the
advice from the navigation system if the current traffic situation
contradicts the navigation system instructions.
The system does not take into account the relative safety of the
!
suggested routes. Closed roads, construction sites, height or weight
restrictions, traffic or weather conditions or other factors influencing
the safety or travel time of the route will not be considered for the
suggested routes. Check the suitability of the suggested routes yourself.
Use the ”Alternate route” function to receive better route suggestions
or simply take the preferred route and leave the planning of the new
route to automatic route re-calculation.
!
For reasons of traffic safety, make any entries to the navigation system
before you depart or when the vehicle is standing.
!
In certain areas, one-way streets, turning and entry prohibitions
(e.g. pedestrian zones) are not recorded. The navigation system issues
a warning in such areas. Pay particular attention to one-way streets,
turning and entry restrictions.
!
Please ensure that any person who may use your multimedia system
has access to this user’s manual and reads the guidelines and
recommendations for the use of the system prior to first use.

GENERAL INFORMATION
If your monitor is mounted on a flexible mount, adjust it in such a
!
manner that you can glance at the screen quickly and simply and avoid
reflections and glare. Stop at a suitable place before making any
adjustments.
If your monitor is mounted on a fixed mount, check if your dealer
!
installed it according to the recommendations above. The monitor
should not be installed in any location where it might impede the view
of elements required for the safe operation of the vehicle (e.g. road,
mirror, instrumentation, vehicle surroundings). Also, the monitor must
not be installed within the airbag inflation zone.
Only glance at the screen if this is possible without danger. If you
!
need to look at the screen for an extended time, please pull over at
a suitable location.
Always store the remote control at a safe location.
!
The values for current speed, travel time and distance traveled displayed
!
by the on-board computer are calculated. Precision cannot be guaranteed
in all cases. For the current speed, the vehicle speedometer is considered
accurate.
If you are looking for emergency services (police, fire department, etc.),
!
do not rely solely on the navigation system. There is no guarantee that
all available emergency services in your vicinity are stored in the data-
base. In such a situation, you must rely on your own judgment and
capabilities to secure help.
Maintenance and care
To clean the system, do not use cleaning gasoline, alcohol or other
solvents. A moistened cloth would be best suited.
Functions of your navigation system
The Multi Media System you purchased is a high-performance instrument
for the support of the driver in daily traffic. Simply enter your destination
before your departure, activate ”Guidance” and then drive off. The
navigation system provides you with visual and acoustic driving
information. The system is easy to operate, with few control elements and
a clearly structured menu.
System expansion
In connection with a TMC expansion (where available), the system will
show you the current traffic situation on your route and will guide you
around traffic problems. Numerous system expansions permit extending
the system into an information and entertainment system.
8
GENERAL INFORMATION
Distance indications
On main highways, the system’s distance indications to exits may deviate
from the indications on the road signs. The signs on main highways measure
the distance to the beginning of the exit while the system always calculates
the distance to the end of the deceleration lane. This is equivalent to the
point where the lanes separate.
GPS reception
The system is capable of functioning even with poor GPS reception, but
the accuracy of the positioning may be limited.
Start-up characteristics
While a vehicle is parked for longer periods of time, the satellites continue
their orbit. Therefore, after turning on the ignition, it may take several
minutes until enough satellites can be received and evaluated. Satisfactory
reception (three-dimensional position) is indicated by the green satellite icon
on the screen. If GPS reception is insufficient, the satellite icon remains red.
During the start-up sequence, it is possible that the navigation system
will announce: ”Please proceed to the planned route”. The navigation
system assumes that the vehicle is located away from a digitized road. If
other roads exist in this area, the navigation system may issue incorrect
messages. The navigation system assumes that the vehicle is located on
another road.
Automatic route re-calculation
If you ignore the system’s announcements, the system will automatically
plan a new route.
Areas with limited road information
In some areas, not all of the information about a road is available on the
map DVD/CD. Thus, for example, turning prohibitions, information on the
direction of travel in a one-way street or prohibited entry into a pedestrian
zone may be missing. The navigation system will display a warning if you
drive into such an area.
English
Switching on / off
The multimedia system is turned on and off with the ignition. If the system
was not switched to stand-by, a title screen will appear first. A message
about the use of the system follows. Confirm your selection by pressing the
OK key. After several seconds, the system will be functioning.
All adjustments to the system setting will be saved upon switching it off.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Remote control
It will be necessary to change the remote control batteries when you use

control into the holder, as the batteries are not needed there.

Guidance close to the destination
If the entered destination is located off a digitized road, guidance will

guidance display modes, an arrow indicating the linear direction replaces
the guidance message.
Guidance in partially digitized areas
In rural areas and smaller towns, it is possible that not all roads are stored
on the map DVD/CD. When you leave a digitized road, the guidance
screen display changes. The display switches automatically from the
guidance or split display to the map display.
Instead of the usual guidance message, an arrow appears on the top
right, pointing in the direction of the destination. Below the arrow, the
distance (linear) to the destination is displayed. This can also happen in
completely digitized areas, as e.g. not all parking lots are digitized.
In such a case, get your orientation from the map display. Once you reach
a digitized road, you will see the usual guidance information next to the
