Owner's Manual for Onboard Computer

The onboard computer offers you an array of functions designed to foster safety while simultaneously enhancing your driving pleasure.

The GPS navigation system frees you from the burden of reading maps or looking for road signs. It will guide you to any destination recorded on your map CD/DVD.

The radio, with its superb reception quality, joins the cassette and CD players in providing optimal sound to satisfy every taste while serving up entertainment to make every trip seem short.

The computer calculates vital operating data – including average fuel consumption, cruising range on the remaining fuel and the estimated time of arrival. It provides additional safety before driving – for example, with entry of a code number for the engine immobilizer – and during driving – for example, with an acoustic warning tone so that you do not drive faster than you intend to.

We wish you an enjoyable driving experience.

Notes on the Owner's Manual

To start using your onboard computer right away, consult the overview of controls and displays and the concise operating instructions in the first chapter.

In addition, you will find

>all the essentials you will need to adjust the screen and care for your computer in the "Overview" chapter

>all information on using the GPS navigation system in the "Navigation" chapter

>all the essentials on radio use and broadcast reception, combined with instructions on how to use the cassette and compact disc* (CD) players in the "Entertainment" chapter. This chapter also contains information on the "Digital Sound Processing* (DSP)" sound system

>information on how you can use the computer to calculate various data related to vehicle operation in the "Computer" chapter.

This chapter also contains information on the engine immobilizer code and the settings for the auxiliary heat- ing*/-ventilation.

The fastest way to find information on any specific topic is by turning to the index.

Because the control options for the mobile phone also include

provisions for using it without the onboard computer, the operating instructions have been compiled in a separate manual.<

A separate manual has also been provided for the "Emergency"

functions.<

A list explaining all of the abbreviations that appear on the computer screen can be found in the glossary at the end of the manual.

Should the day arrive when you wish to sell your BMW, please remember to hand this Owner's Manual to the next owner – it is an important part of the vehicle.

Information on care

For complete information on the care of cassettes, CDs, DVDs and the device, please refer to the caring for your vehicle brochure.

22 GPS

Map CD/DVD

Only enter data when the vehicle is stationary, and always obey the traffic regulations and road signs in the event of any contradiction between the

traffic situation and the instructions given by the navigation system. If you do not observe this precaution, you may be in violation of the law, and can endanger vehicle occupants and other highway users.<

Never place any metallic objects, such as umbrellas, on the rear tray

(sedan and coupe) near the GPS antenna, as such objects can interfere with the GPS reception and may prevent the GPS navigation system from operating correctly.<

The GPS navigation system eliminates the need to consult conventional road maps as you drive. It therefore makes an important contribution to traffic safety.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System.

This integral component within your vehicle's navigation system relies on reference satellites to determine the precise position of your vehicle.

The result: the GPS navigation system automatically offers reliable guidance to your selected destination.

Map CDs/DVDs are inserted in the navigation computer located at the left rear of the luggage compartment.

To ensure that your vehicle's navigation system has access to the latest highway network information, always load the most recent CD/DVD version of the digital road map. As is the case with conventional road maps, the map CDs/ DVDs are subject to periodic updates to ensure that they reflect the latest information and surveys.

The DVD will be available at a later time and will provide additional

features such as larger map scales.<

Changing the map CD/DVD

Map CDs/DVDs contain road maps covering one or more countries or regions. When you drive your BMW, the navigation system will alert you when you are leaving the area stored on the map CD/DVD that is currently loaded. You should respond by changing the map CD/DVD in the navigation computer.

Only map CDs of version 2001-1 or higher can be used.<

To change the map CD/DVD:

1.

The CD/DVD is ejected from the navigation computer (press button several times if necessary)

2.Remove the CD/DVD

3.Insert the new CD/DVD

4.Allow approx. eight seconds for the new CD/DVD to start.

Starting GPS navigation

1.Select "MENU"

2.Select "GPS-Navigation".

To exit the GPS navigation system, press the button again:

Selection options

When entering your destination, you can select from among the following options:

>Destination entry and selection

>To select destination from map, refer to page 27

>To select the destination via information on the destination, current location or country, refer to page 29

>To select from among recent destinations, refer to page 30

>To return to initial location, refer to page 31

>To select destination from address book, refer to page 40.

After selecting your destination, you can proceed to activate the guidance function, refer to page 33.

Destination entry

23

The example shows how to use the GPS navigation system to find the following destination:

455 N Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills

Only enter data when the vehicle is stationary, and always obey the traffic regulations and road signs in the event of any contradiction between the

traffic situation and the instructions given by the navigation system. If you do not observe this precaution, you may be in violation of the law, and can endanger vehicle occupants and other highway users.<

>The selection of a country, a town or city or a street can be canceled at any time by selecting

>If entries in a selection menu (sub menu) are not made within eight seconds, you will need to repeat the procedure.

If the name of a country appears on the screen in white letters, data for more than one country may be stored on the map CD/DVD.

To select a destination country, e.g. when traveling to a foreign country:

1.Turn the right-hand rotary button until the current country name is highlighted.

"Country ?" appears in the display

2.Press the right-hand rotary button on the right.

A list of the available countries is displayed

3.Select "United States".
