General information
Operating the system while driving
Allowing yourself to be distracted by the TravelPilot RGS 06 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 RGS 06 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 RGS 06
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
RGS 08. Ask your dealer for the latest update.

Area of use
The TravelPilot RGS 06 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 RGS 06 can only be used, without
any limitations applying, in passenger cars.
Product information
The TravelPilot RGS 06 is an active, autonomous route
guidance system.
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.
Other CDs, such as the Merian Scout travel guide and
country-specific CDs, are also available.
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.
The monitor displays the same information visually. Furthermore, the name of the street that the vehicle is presently driving down is displayed as well as the current distance
to the destination. Prior to taking a turning, the name of the
road that is to be turned into is also 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
