functions that require significant operator attention and could become
a distraction while driving.

INTRODUCTION > CARINGFOR YOUR NAVUS
Caring for Your Navus
The Navus is constructed of high quality materials and does not
require user maintenance other than cleaning.
Cleaning the Touchscreen
The Navus touchscreen is intended primarily for finger operation.
Although a PDA stylus may also be used to operate the touchscreen,
never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or
sharp object to operate the touchscreen or damage may result. Use a
clean, dry lens cloth to remove dust from the touchscreen. Carefully
wipe the display to prevent scratches. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or
eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If they are used, apply the
liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touchscreen with the
moistened cloth.
iv
Cleaning the Casing
The outer casing of your Navus is constructed of high quality
materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning.
Clean the outer casing using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent
solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that
may damage plastic components.
INTRODUCTION > SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety Guidelines
Ensure that all persons read this manual carefully before using the
navigation system. It contains instructions on how to use the system
in a safe and effective manner.
WARNING: Please read and obey the following safety
precautions. Failure to do so may result in an accident
involving injury or property damage.
• Consider practicing the unit’s operation by using the “simulator
mode” prior to actual use. See page 8 for instructions.
• When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the Navus
to all available navigation sources, including the information from
other street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always
resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions
that require prolonged use of the unit’s controls or remote control
while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner and
location before you attempt such operations.
1
• Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency
services such as police and fire stations or hospitals and clinics.
Not all emergency service locations are contained in the database.
Please use your judgment and ask for directions in such situations.
• When driving, minimize the amount of time you spend viewing
the screen. Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to
do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over at
a safe location.
• Road conditions and regulations take precedence over information
contained on the map display. Observe actual traffic restrictions
and circumstances while driving.
• Situations may occur where the navigation system erroneously
displays the vehicle’s location. Use your own driving judgment
in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions.
Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation system
should automatically correct the vehicle’s position within a few
minutes.
INTRODUCTION > SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Stop use immediately if a problem occurs. Failure to do so
may cause injury or damage to the product. Return it to your
authorized DaimlerChrysler dealer for service.
• Make certain the volume level of the monitor is set to a level that
still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles.
• The map database is designed to provide you with route
suggestions and does not take into account the relative safety of
a suggested route or factors that may affect the time required to
reach your destination. The system does not reflect road closures
or construction, road characteristics (such as type of road surface,
slope or grade, weight or height restrictions), traffic congestion,
weather conditions, or any other factors that may affect the safety
or timing of your driving experience. Use your own personal
judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with
an alternate route.
• The map database supplied with the product contains the most
inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. Because the map
data may not be perfect, consider verifying the unit’s map with
your actual surroundings to confirm that you are arriving at the
exact destination.
• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United
States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could
affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. The
Navus is a precision navigation system; any navigation system
can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
• This product is intended to be used only as a navigational aid and
must not be used for any purpose requiring precise measurement
of direction, distance, location, or topography.
If you have any questions about the operation of the navigation
system, please contact a local DaimlerChrysler dealer or call 1-800800-1020.

Navigation at a Glance
The tutorial below guides you through the steps for finding a
restaurant in your area and then creating a route to it. If you have
never used the Navus or a navigation unit before, try this simple task.
You will see that using your Navus is fast and easy!
Step 1: Start up your vehicle or turn the key to the Accessory
position so that your Navus will turn on automatically. Once on,
the Navus looks for satellites. Make certain your Navus has an
unobstructed view of the sky as it looks for satellites. For example,
it cannot establish a fix if your vehicle is parked in a garage. When
your Navus has established a satellite fix, it displays a “Ready to
Navigate” message, as shown below.

Step 2: Press the FIND key. The Find menu appears.
Step 3: Touch Food & Drink, shown above. A list of eating
establishments near your current location appears on a page similar to
the one shown below:

NAVUS OPERATION > LEARNING HOWTO USETHE MAP PAGE
Learning How to Use the Map Page
The Map page is one of your Navus’s main operating pages. This is
the first page to appear after the startup pages, and it provides street
detail as you navigate to a destination. The Map page contains many
features, and most are available whether you are navigating a route
or simply driving with your Navus turned on. Practice using these
features before navigating an actual route so that you can quickly
understand what you are seeing on the Map page and reduce the time
spent looking away from the road while driving.
The images to the left
show the sequence of
messages that appear
on the data tabs as the
Navus locates satellites.
The Navus might take
a little longer to locate
satellites when you turn
it on for the first time.
Viewing the Map Page for the First Time
When you turn on your Navus, you see a map image and a tab that
shows the Navus is attempting to locate satellites. Once your Navus
locates the satellites, it establishes a “fix” on your location, and you
are ready to navigate.

Waypoints
You can save any item on the map our find menu as a waypoint. As
these saved locations are stored in a common place, you can easily
retrieve them at a later date. You can also mark your present position
as a waypoint.
As discussed previously, an i icon appears when the map pointer

Driving and Routing Modes
While driving, the map will appear in one of two modes. “Driving”
mode appears when you have the Navus turned on but you are not
navigating a route. “Routing” mode appears when you are currently
navigating.
In routing mode, the map displays map details, your current
location, your route is marked a blue-colored route line, and driving
directions. Customizable data tabs are pre-set to display information
such as your speed, distance to the next turn, and the time remaining
before reaching the next turn.
In driving mode, the map shows map details, the map scale, and
your current location. Customizable data tabs are pre-set to show
your speed, current direction of travel, address of your current
position, and the name of the next road ahead.
Both modes display a position icon that indicates your present
position and direction of movement. Depending upon your map scale

simply touch the white arrow. You
can use this feature in driving mode

Looking Ahead on the Map Page
In the example at left, your current driving position always appears
on the map. You can also “look ahead” on the map to view areas
beyond your current position without interrupting the function of the
Map page. Touch any area on the map and drag your finger to “look
ahead” to a different area on the map.
Notice that the map pointer also appears on the map, and the map
itself stays stationary until you move (pan) the map. The position
icon continues to move along your route. To center the map on the
position icon, touch the arrow in the top left corner.
