1 Warnings and Safety information

The navigation system guides you to your destination using the GPS receiver. The navigation system does not transmit your GPS position and you cannot be tracked.

It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate the navigation system before you start your journey. Plan the route before your departure and stop if you need to change the route.

Drive the vehicle according to the road signs and the road shape. If you deviate from the recommended route, the navigation system changes the instructions accordingly.

For more information, consult the End-User Terms (page 67).

2 Getting started

2.1 Before using the navigation system

To use the navigation system, the SD card containing the map information needs to be inserted in the SD card slot.

SD card slot

When inserting the SD card, never move the slider on the side of the SD card to the LOCK position. If the slider is set to LOCK, the SD card cannot be read and the navigation system will not operate.

This SD card is valid for use in only one vehicle. Never use it in another vehicle. If the SD card is used ﬁ rst in one vehicle and then in another, the navigation system for either one of the vehicles may become inoperable.

Note!

Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

2.4.3 Objects on the map

2.4.3.1 Streets and roads

The navigation system shows the roads in different widths and colors so that they can be easily identiﬁ ed. A highway/freeway will be thicker and a different color than a small street.

2.4.3.2 Turn preview and Next street

When navigating a route, the top section of the Map screen shows information about the next maneuver, street or city.

There is an area at the top left part of screen which indicates the next operation. Displays both the event type (such as turning, detouring, exiting expressways) and the distance from the current position.

When the next event approaches, the second event is displayed using a small icon. If there is no second event, only the next event is displayed.

Most of these icons are very intuitive. The same symbols are used in both ﬁ elds:

Icon Description

Turn left.

Turn right.

Turn back.

Bear right.

Turn sharp left.

Keep left.

Continue straight in the intersection.

Go left on the roundabout, 3rd exit (next maneuver).

2.4.3.3 Lane information and Signposts

When navigating on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, the navigation system displays the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. Highlighted arrows represent the lanes and direction you need to take.

Lane guidance is provided constantly if there is map information. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you see above road or by the roadside. They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.

When navigating a route, only the signpost that points to the lane(s) to be taken is displayed in bright colors; all others are darker. All signposts and lane guidance arrows are displayed in vivid colors while driving (when there is no recommended route).

If you want to hide the currently displayed signposts, touch anywhere and the normal Map screen returns until new signpost information is received.

2.4.3.4 Junction view

If you are approaching a highway/freeway exit or a complex intersection and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D view of the junction. The optimum driving lane is indicated by an arrow, and road signs are displayed as additional information at the top of the screen.

2.4.3.5 Highway/Freeway exit services

You may need a gasoline station or a restaurant during your journey. This feature displays a new button on the map when you are driving on highways/freeways.

Select this Open button to open a panel with the details of the next few exits or service stations.

Applicable only when the setting is “Only when menu is open”.

Select any of them to display the exit area on the map. You can now easily add this exit as a waypoint to your route if needed.

There are two types of settings for displaying the next expressway exit; one which constantly displays the next expressway exit while traveling on an expressway, or the other which displays the next expressway exit only when the menu panel is open.

You can change the settings in Visual Guidance settings (page 61).

2.4.3.6 Elements of the active route

The navigation system shows the route in the following way:

Symbol Name Description

Current car position marker If there is a road close by, a blue-colored arrow

Waypoint (intermediate destination)

map, both in daytime and in nighttime mode.

You can choose whether you want to use or avoid certain road types (page 59). However, when the navigation system cannot avoid such roads, the route will include them and it will show them in a color that is different from the route color.

Road segments may be affected by trafﬁ c events received. These streets and roads are displayed in an alternate color, and small symbols displayed along the route show the type of trafﬁ c event.

2.4.4 Manipulating the map
