Operation of the unit is permitted only if traffic conditions are suitable and you are absolutely sure that you, your
passengers or other motorists are not endangered, obstructed or inconvenienced.
In all cases, all applicable road traffic regulations must be obeyed. Destinations may only be entered when the vehicle is
stationary.
The country-specific regulations apply for telephone operations.
The navigation system is only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/entries. At all times, the driver must
decide whether or not to heed the information provided. We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the
navigation system.
Due to continual changes in traffic routing or deviations in the data, it may occur that imprecise or erroneous information
is given. Therefore, actual road signs and traffic regulations must always be observed. In particular, the navigation system
cannot be used as an orientation aid at times of poor visibility.
The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the radio, navigation system and telephone should be
adjusted so that external noise is still audible.
Do not activate the telephone near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting areas.
In the case of a malfunction (i.e. smoke or other noticeable odours) the unit is to be turned off immediately.
Safety instructions
For safety reasons, the unit must only be opened by a trained technician. Please refer to your dealer for repair.

Information regarding general road safety
This car radio device is intended and approved for installation and operation in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and
buses (vehicle classes M, N and O) whose electric system has a rated voltage of 12V.
Installation and maintenance should only be carried out by specialists. Faulty installation or maintenance can result in
the malfunctioning of the motor vehicle’s electronic systems. The vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions must be
observed.
The vehicle’s electronics (e.g. speedometer signal) must only be worked on by an authorised service garage. We assume
no liability for any impairment of the vehicle’s electronics.
This device is only intended for installation in the area provided for this purpose by the vehicle manufacturer.
The method of attachment used must ensure that the device will remain properly attached, should the vehicle be involved
in a crash.
The power supply must be properly fused.
Using mobile phones without an external antenna in the proximity of the radio unit may cause interference.
Familiarise yourself with the device and how it works before embarking on your journey. Whilst on the move, only operate
the device in appropriate traffic conditions. The volume of the device should be set at a level that enables external noises
(e.g. police sirens) to be easily heard.

What is navigation?
The term “navigation” (lat. navigare = to
travel by sea) is generally understood to
mean the location of a vehicle, the determination of the direction and distance
from the desired destination and the
required route. As navigation aids, stars,
prominent landmarks, compass and satellites are used.
With Mexico, location is determined
with the GPS receiver (GPS = Global
Positioning System). The direction and
distance from the destination are determined using a digital road map, a navigation computer and sensors. A speedometer signal and a reverse signal are
additionally used to calculate the route.
For safety reasons, navigation is pre-
dominantly in spoken form supported
by a direction indicator on the display.
Safety instructions
G
• Road traffic regulations always take
priority. The navigation system is
only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/entries. At all times,
the driver must decide whether or not
to heed the information provided.
We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the navigation
system.
• Observation of traffic signs and local
traffic regulations must always take
priority.
• Traffic guidance is restricted to passenger vehicles only. Special driving
recommendations and regulations for
other vehicles (e.g. commercial vehicles) are not included.
• Destinations may only be entered
when the vehicle is stationary.
Navigation data
The Mexico is supplied with a CF memory card. This memory card contains
a digitised road map.
Note:
The navigation function of the Mexico
only functions with an original memory
card supplied by Harman/Becker.
The supplied memory card must not be
formatted under any circumstances.
The memory card with the navigation
data is copy-protected. If you change
the data on the card in any way, the
Mexico will no longer accept this memory card.
Motorways, federal and regional roads, as
well as district roads are stored in the digitised street map. Larger cities and communities are comprehensively covered.
For smaller towns and communities, the
regional and unclassified roads or access
roads and the town centres are included.
One-way streets, pedestrian zones, turn
bans and other traffic regulations are
taken into account as far as possible.
There may be discrepancies between the
data on the memory card and the actual lo-

cal situation, due to permanent changes to
road systems and their traffic regulations.
Note:
For Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Spain and Italy, non-verified data
has been used to achieve a high depth of
digitisation; i.e. with this data, the navigation system cannot refer to information such as motorway, trunk road, 30
zone, one-way street or other traffic
regulations, as this is not recorded.
All roads can be used, but optimum
route guidance cannot be guaranteed.
Inserting memory card
The slot for inserting the memory card
containing the navigation data is located
in the media slot.
! Open the media slot as described in
“Opening media slot” on page 15.
! Take the memory card containing the
navigation data out of its protective
sleeve.
! Place the memory card into the visible
slot on the right-hand side.
Notes:
The memory card can only be inserted
in one direction. The reverse of the
memory card points downwards.
! Push the memory card carefully into
the slot.
The memory card must then be firmly
anchored in the slot.
! Close the media slot as described in
“Closing media slot” on page 15.
or
! Wait until the media slot closes
automatically.
The memory card containing the navigation data is now ready for use and the system is able to access the navigation data.

Removing memory card
! Open the media slot as described in

The Fast Access menu then appears. The
number of satellites received appears on
the right-hand side of the display (in the
example, 5 of the maximum of 8 receivable satellites are being received).
In fast access mode, you can select and
navigate to the last destinations entered/
the destinations you have stored in fast
access mode.
For more information, see “Navigation
fast access” on page 34.
Note:
The memory card containing the navigation data must be loaded when starting navigation mode for the first time.
If calibration of the navigation system
has not yet been completed, the system
will prompt you to take a drive for calibration (see Installation Guide).
The memory card containing the navigation data must be inserted to start the
calculation of a route. If it is not inserted, you will be prompted to insert it.
During the route calculation, the
symbol appears on the right-hand side
of the display. Once the calculation has
been completed, the symbol disappears, the memory card can then be removed and replaced, if desired, by a
memory card containing audio data.
When entering destinations, driving off
should be delayed until the symbol
has disappeared. For distant destinations, you may be prompted to re-insert
the memory card at a later time.
