The TRAFFIC INFO
box is ticked. However,
certain trafic jams
along the route are not
indicated in real time. On starting, it is several minutes before the syste
m begins to receive the
trafic information. Wait until the trafic information is being received

correctly (displaying of the trafic information
symbols on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways, ...) are listed for the
trafic information.
The time taken to
calculate a route
sometimes seems
longer than usual. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the trafic information available.
The performance of the system may slow down tempora rily if a CD is
being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as a route is being
calculated. Wait until the CD has been copied or stop the
copying before starting the guidance function.
Does the emergency call
function work without a
SIM card? No, European regulations impose the presence of a S
IM card in order to
make an emergency call. Insert a valid SIM card in the slot on the audio
equipment.
The altitude is not
displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take
up to 3 minutes to
receive more than 3 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely.
Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least
3 satellites (long press on the MENU button, then
select AUDIO/TELEPHONE DIAGNOSTICS, then
GPS COVERAGE).
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel, ...) or the weather,
the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may v ary.This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the conditions of reception of the
GPS signal.
The route is not
calculated successfully. The exclusion criteria may conlict with the current
location (exclusion of
toll roads on a motorway with tolls). Check the exclusion criteria.
