The sound setting for the Tre b l e and Bass (lows) can be adjusted 
separately for radio, CD and MP3 operation.
The settings that you enter apply to the operating mode that is

TipsVehicles with a BOSE sound system in conjunction with 
an AudioPilot do not have a DSP function. In this case your vehicle 
is equipped with dynamic noise compensation 
page 94.
Applies to vehicles: with BOSE sound system in conjunction with AudioPilotDynamic noise compensationVehicles with a BOSE sound system in conjunction with AudioPilot 
are equipped with dynamic noise compensation.
Dynamic noise compensation automatically adjust music playback 
so that the music is no t drowned out b y no ise . No matter what kind  
of ambient noise you have in the vehicle, the music playback level 
remains the same.
Dynamic noise compensation takes account of both temporary and 
permanent ambient noise.
How does dynamic noise compensation work?
A microphone in the vehicle interior detects both the noise level of 
the music playback and intrusive noises. The intrusive noises are 
digitally analyzed and evaluated. The system simultaneously 
ensures that the music playback level is increased by the frequen-
cie s affe cte d by intrusive  noise so  that music playback remains at a 
constant level for good listening.
Tips
In the event of a malfunction in the AudioPilot system, a gong signal 
sounds three times to alert you after the Navigation System is 
turned on. Have the AudioPilot system inspected by a qualified 
dealership.

Navigation (NAV) 110
Route with stopover (Route plan)
Route without stopover (Single destination mode)
In single destination mode you can drive directly to a destination 
page 119.
If you enter a direct destination and start guidance, you are given 
the option of up to three different routes 
page 130.
Route with stopover (Route plan)
In this mode, you can choose up to three stopovers and one final 
destination 
page 139.
For example, while on your way to your final destination, you could 
have three stopovers, such as: the nearest gasoline station, then a 
restaurant and after that a point of interest to visit 
page 121.
WARNING
Follow the traffic laws for the area in which you are driving. If 
driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws 
always take precedent.
Tips
However, the system will not provide you with any information 
about the meaning of traffic signs and signals!
How does the Navigation System work?
The Navigation System works with the help of satel-
lites (GPS).To determine current vehicle position, distance sensors, gyroscopes 
and satellite signals are analyzed. The signals are transmitted by 
GPS satellites. The acronym GPS stands for “Global Positioning 
System”.
The recorded information is transferred to the navigation system

DVD. In this way, guidance to your destination can be calculated 
precisely.
To  c a l c u l a t e  g u i d a n c e  t o  y o u r  d e s t i n a t i o n ,  t h e  n a v i g a t i o n  D V D  h a s  t o  
be inserted into the navigation drive. The drive for the Navigation 
System is located behind the system display 
page 35.
When the navigation DVD is inserted, the system starts automati-
cally and navigation destinations can be entered page 117.
Five  differe nt languages (German, E nglish,  French, Spanish, Italian) 
are availabe on the navigation DVD for the audible navigation 
prompts. You can change the language for the audible navigation 
voice messages using the Menu language function in Setup 
page 170.Tips
Snow and other objects on the GPS antenna or screening by 
trees and large buildings can interfere with satellite reception and 
m a ke  i t  m o re  d i ffe re n t  to  d e t e rm i n e  v e h i c l e  l o c a t i o n . I f s e v e ra l  s a t e l -
lites are turned off or disabled, this may result in interference with 
GPS reception and make it more difficult to determine vehicle loca-
tion.
