PRECAUTIONS DURING USE

It is essential to follow the precautions below when using the system, both in the interest of safety and to prevent material damage.
You must always comply with the laws of the country in which you are travelling.

Precautions when operating the system

– Operate the controls and read the information on the screen only when road conditions allow.
– Set the volume to a reasonable level so that outside noise can be heard.

– Use of the navigation system does not in any way replace the responsibility or vigilance of the driver when driving the vehi-

– Depending on the geographical area, the map on the SD card may not have the latest information on new roads. Be alert.

Precautions concerning the equipment

– Do not attempt to dismantle or modify the system, as there is a risk of damage to equipment and fire.
– Contact a representative of the manufacturer in the event of malfunction and for all operations involving disassembly.
– Do not insert foreign objects or a damaged or dirty SD card into the reader.
– Allows clean your screen with a microfibre cloth or a soft, moistened cloth.
– Use an SD card which is suitable for your navigation system.

Precautions regarding navigation

cle.

In all cases, Road Traffic Regulations and road signs always take precedence over the directions of the navigation system.

The description of the models given in this manual is based on the specifications at the time of writing. This manual covers all
existing functions for the models described. Whether or not they are fitted depends on the equipment model, options selected
and the country where it is sold. This manual may also contain information about functions to be introduced later in the year.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (1/3)

The navigation system

The navigation system calculates your
position and guides you using data:

– vehicle speed and information from

the gyro (measuring the vehicle di-

rection);
– the digital map;
– the GPS receiver;
– the subscription-only Live Services.
Note: when using the vehicle for the

first time, the speed information and
the gyro will be undergoing final cali­bration. It is therefore normal that the
system does not provide a very precise
location until the vehicles has travelled
around fifty kilometres and undertaken
about forty pronounced corners.

The GPS receiver

The navigation system uses GPS satel­lites (Global Positioning System) orbit­ing around Earth.
The GPS receiver receives signals
transmitted from several satellites. The
system can then locate the position of
the vehicle.

Note: after moving a long distance
without driving (ferry, rail freight), the
system may take several minutes to
adjust before retuning to normal opera­tion.

The digital map

The digital map contains the road maps
and town maps that the system re­quires. This is found on the SD card.

LIVE services

These include road safety alerts, HD
Traffic™, local search with Google™
and the weather forecast. At the end
of the 3-month trial period, you can
extend your subscription on-line via
TomTom HOME™ (refer to the section
on "System updates).

Note: these services require a sub­scription, and use an inaccessible SIM
card integrated into the navigation
system.

If these services are available in your
country, the Live Services icon will
appear on the navigation screen.

Navigation assistance
function

The system suggests a route to your
chosen destination using:

– its road map (on the SD card);
– the positioning sensors which esti-

mate your location even if the GPS
signals are lost;

– information from the traffic informa-

tion service (depending on country);

– road safety information (speeding

warning, speed limit zone);

– HD Traffic™, from subscription to

Live Services.

Finally, it indicates the route to take,
step by step, using the display screen
and voice messages.

SD CARD: USE, INITIALISATION (1/2)

SD card

An SD card is supplied with the navi­gation system. It includes, among other
things, a map of your country or group

Updates are regularly issued, in partic­ular for maps and fixed safety cameras.
They are only available for download
by inserting your navigation system’s
SD card into a computer which is con-
nected to the internet.

Once your new vehicle has been de­livered, you will have a maximum of
60 days in which to update the map for
free. Once this time has elapsed, you
will need to pay for updates.
