Operating instructions
General information
Operating the system while driving
Allowing yourself to be distracted by the TravelPilot RGN 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.
Please consider the fact that at a speed of 50 km/h you are travelling 14 m every second.
•Before starting off on your journey, make sure you have familiarised yourself with the system.
•While you are driving, only use the voice output and directional symbols on the monitor.
•Stop your vehicle at a suitable location if you wish to re-program the TravelPilot RGN 08 or look up more detailed information.
Route guidance
The current traffic routing situation can differ from the data stored on the CD-ROM.
Due to system limitations, the TravelPilot RGN 08 cannot warn of altered traffic routing conditions e.g. due to road construction measures. If you do not pay attention to the actual traffic routing conditions, there is a danger that you will cause a serious accident. Furthermore, you will be violating road traffic regulations.
•Please ensure that you take notice of signs relating to the current traffic routing situation. As the driver, you are solely responsible for traffic safety.
•Use the latest CD-ROM for the TravelPilot RGN 08 in order to avoid this problem as much as possible right from the start. Ask your dealer for the latest update.

Area of use
The TravelPilot RGN 08 has been designed for use in passenger cars.
The CD-ROM currently does not include any limitations relating to lorries and buses such as height restrictions or maximum permitted loads. If these are disregarded, there is a danger that you will cause an accident. Furthermore, you will be violating road traffic regulations.
•The TravelPilot RGN 08 can only be used, without any limitations applying, in passenger cars.
Product information
The TravelPilot RGN 08 is an active guidance system for the Bremen RCM 127 and New York RDM 127 car stereo systems.
Using this system, you can let yourself be guided to your required destination if a navigation CD has been inserted that is valid for your present location and destination in question.
CDs, such as the Merian Scout travel guide and other country-specific CDs, are also available.
The guidance system provides audio-visual information. You will be given precise information over the car stereo loudspeakers with regard to such things as when and where to take the next road turning.
The volume and tone of the voice output can be adjusted. Directional symbols are used to convey information on the car stereo display screen. Furthermore, the name of the street that the vehicle is presently driving down is displayed as well as the current distance to the destination and the remaining time required to drive there. Prior to taking a turning, the name of the road that is to be turned into is displayed.
If you did not follow a suggested direction, a new route to the destination will be calculated within a few seconds. So, for instance, this means that you can by all means take a “secret route around the houses” that you are familiar with even though the TravelPilot has at the time given you other directions.
The system knows where one-way streets, areas restricted to traffic (e.g. pedestrian precincts, etc.) and no-left or noright turns are situated, and takes these into account when calculating routes for passenger cars.
Delivery

The navigation system comprises a powerful computer with CD-ROM drive, GPS receiver, GPS antenna and the latest CD-ROM version.
