General information
For your safety!
The use of the navigation system by no means relieves the driver of his/her
A
responsibilities. Always observe the applicable traffic regulations and take the current traffic
conditions into consideration. You always have priority over the information provided by the
navigation system if the actual traffic situation and the information from the navigation
system conflict.
The system does not take the relative safety of the suggested routes into consideration.
A
Road blocks, building sites, height or weight restrictions, traffic or weather conditions or
other influences which affect the route safety or travel time are not taken into consideration
for the suggested routes. Use your own discretion in order to decide on the suitability of the
suggested routes. Use the “Alternative Route” function to receive better routing suggestions,
or simply follow your preferred route and the automatic routing recalculation will plan the
route for the remainder of your journey.
For the sake of traffic safety, perform inputs to the navigation system only prior to the
A
trip or when the vehicle is stationary.
The current statutory speed limit on the road always takes priority over the values stored
A
in the selected navigation database. It is impossible to provide an assurance that the speed
values of the navigation system will always match those of the current traffic regulations in
every situation.
In certain areas one-way streets, turn-off and entry restrictions (e.g. to pedestrian zones)
A
have not been surveyed. In areas such as these the navigation system will issue a warning. Pay
particular attention to one-way streets, turn-off and entry restrictions.
Please make certain that all persons using your multimedia system have access to this
A
manual, and that they read the instructions and suggestions concerning system operation
prior to use.
A
If your screen is installed on a flexible support, adjust it so that you can see the screen
contents quickly and easily, and reflections and dazzle or glare are avoided. Find a suitable
spot to stop the vehicle prior to performing adjustments.
A
If your monitor is installed on a fixed support, check that your dealer has installed it in
accordance with the above recommendations. The screen must not be installed in a position
where it obstructs the view of any items necessary for the safe operation of the vehicle (e.g.
road, mirrors, instruments, surroundings). In addition, the monitor may not be installed within
deployment range of the airbag.
A
Only look at the monitor if it is safe to do so. Find a suitable place to stop should you
need to look at the screen for a longer period of time.
A
Always store the remote control in a safe place. Unsecured objects could be flung around
in the event of emergency braking or an accident and cause injuries to occupants.
A
The values displayed on the system’s “Trip computer” giving the current speed, driving
time and the elapsed distance are calculated values. Accuracy cannot always be guaranteed.
In the case of speed, the vehicle speedometer must always be given priority.
A
Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when attempting to locate an
emergency service (police, fire service, etc.). It cannot be guaranteed that all available
emergency services in your vicinity are stored in the database. Use your own discretion and
abilities to secure help in such situations.

General information
Functions of your navigation system
By buying this Multimedia System you have purchased a high-performance instrument
which has been designed to assist drivers in daily traffic. Simply enter the destination
prior to setting off, activate “Guidance” and you are ready to go. The navigation
system will provide driving instructions in audible and visual form. The system is simple
to use, because of the small number of operating elements and its clear menu
structure.
Range of functions
■
Some of the functions described in this manual are only to be used in conjunction with
optional accessories. It may also be that use cannot be made of certain functions in
some countries because the data has not been surveyed. Due to the large range of
functions, a conscious decision was taken not to allow all the settings to be used in any
combination in the interests of ensuring ease of use and functionality.
Distance indications
■
On main roads, the distances to exits indicated by the system deviate from those on
road signs. The road signs on main roads refer to the start of the exit, while the
navigation system always indicates the distance to the end of the slip road. This is the
point where the driving lanes fork (separate).
Operating restrictions (country-specific)
■
If a symbol depicting a crossed-out hand appears in the bottom status line it means
that only limited operating options are available whilst driving. Whether or not this
function is activated will depend upon the prevailing national regulations.
■ GPS reception
The system has been designed to remain operational even when there is poor GPS
reception. However, positional accuracy may be impaired.
General information
Start-up characteristics
■
If the vehicle has been parked for some time, the satellites will have continued on
their orbits. As a result, once the ignition has been switched on, it may take several
minutes before a sufficient number of satellites are being received and the system can
start analysing their signals. Sufficient reception (three-dimensional position) is
indicated by the satellite symbol Ù in the display in the selected text colour. The
satellite symbol remains red if GPS reception is inadequate.
During the start-up process, the navigation system may report the message: “Please
proceed to the planned route”. The system assumes that the vehicle is located off a
stored road. If other roads exist in this area, the navigation system may issue incorrect
messages. The system assumes that the vehicle is located on a different road.
Automatic route re-calculation
■
If you do not follow the instructions of the system, the system will automatically plan a
new route.
Areas with limited road information
■
In some areas, not all of the information on a road is available in the selected
navigation database. Thus, for example, turn-off prohibitions, information on the
direction of travel in a one-way street or prohibited entry into a pedestrian zone may
be missing. The navigation system will display a warning if you drive into such an area.
Information concerning the functions of the navigation system can be found on the
✎
internet at www.vdodayton.com.
Maintenance and care
Do not clean using cleaning fluid, alcohol or other solvents. A damp cloth is best
suited.

Operation
Remote controls
Depending on the scope of supply, various remote controls might be used. Full
functionality can only be ensured if the correct remote control is activated.
Activating the correct remote control
■
Select “Settings –> Remote control” and activate the desired remote control by
☞
pressing the OK button.
If you additionally use a steering wheel remote control, activate this with a tick.
☞
Please do not expose the remote control with inserted batteries to direct sunlight.
A
Active holder (accessory)
■
If you only use your remote control in its active holder, we recommend that you
remove the batteries from the remote control. The system can be operated when the
remote control is in its holder.
Battery change display
■
If the system no longer responds when the buttons are pressed or the battery symbol
( appears in the status line, the batteries of the remote control must be changed.
Replacing batteries (RC 5400)
■
Open the battery compartment on the back of the
☞
remote control.
Remove the flat batteries.
☞
Insert two new Type AAA (micro) batteries. Ensure
☞
correct polarity (marked in the battery
compartment).
Close the battery compartment.
☞
Notes:
In many countries, flat batteries may not be disposed of together with
the normal domestic rubbish. Please determine how to dispose of flat
batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Use only leak-proof batteries. Battery leakage can cause damage to
the remote control or to your vehicle.
Never expose the remote control to direct sunlight or extreme heat.
The batteries discharge at high temperatures and there is a risk of
leakage.

Dynamic route planning
With the help of the TMC traffic information, the dynamic route planning integrates
the entire traffic situation in an adjustable radius (traffic horizon) around the current
position into its calculation of the route. If a traffic obstruction (e.g. stationary traffic)
is reported via TMC for the planned route, the navigation system will analyse the
information and calculate the anticipated delay.
If there is a traffic problem on the planned route, you will be informed of this by the
navigation system and may decide whether the system should take a detour by
changing the route in order to avoid the segment concerned or whether it would be
more sensible just to drive through the problem.
The basis for the possible delay due to a traffic obstruction and calculated by the
navigation system is data that the system receives via the currently selected TMC
station. The actual delay may deviate from the calculation.
If you have activated the automatic mode, the system automatically plans the route so
that you are guided extensively around the road obstructions without the system
issuing a message.
During guidance, the system checks continuously on the basis of the traffic
information whether there is a better route for route guidance and a new route is
sometimes calculated, for example, if a traffic jam has disappeared.
Depending on the setting in the dynamic route planning, there are two different types
of detour:
■ Extensive detour (with activated dyn. route planning only)
As soon as the navigation system has received information about one or more traffic
obstructions via RDS-TMC that would mean a relatively long delay for navigation to
your destination, the system offers you the option well in advance of detouring the
traffic obstructions extensively.
The criteria that influence a new planning of the route (Re-routing level, Traffic
✎
horizon and Entire delay) can be set under “Settings –> Dynamic route”.
It is possible to replan the route manually at any time in light of the current traffic
✎
situation with the “Plan new route” menu item on the guidance screen.
■
Local detour (with deactivated dyn. route planning only)
With the local detour, it is possible to bypass the next traffic obstruction ahead which
is announced by TMC.
As soon as you have arrived up to approx. 50 km from the road obstruction, you will
receive an appropriate message.
With the “Local detour” menu item on the guidance screen, you can bypass the
✎
imminent road obstruction if required.

Info Points function
Some databases support your navigation system’s Info Points function with a visual
and audible indication of important points along your route. Different providers of
travel and traffic information have optimised these specifically for navigation systems.
Select “Info Points” in the “Settings” menu.
☞
Select the required product from the list of available products.
☞

✎
message about this point.
“INFO” will give you more details about this info point. With some categories (e.g.
✎
in the case of hotels and restaurants), it is possible to transfer the info point directly
into the guidance facility and plan a route to it.
Travel info
Through the “Travel info” function you have easy access to travel guide information
from various suppliers. Depending on the travel info product used, a range of
information can be called up from external providers. This could be hotel, restaurant
and shopping guides and tourist information, for example.
A search engine is used for searches within the travel info. This has a similar structure
to the search engines on the internet.
The information displayed may contain text, pictures, links, addresses and telephone
numbers. You can transfer the address of a hotel to the navigation system directly
from the travel guide, for example.
