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.
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 first in one vehicle and then in another, the navigation system 
for either one of the vehicles may become inoperable.
Insert and remove the SD card with the ignition switched off.

2.4.2	 Position	markers	
2.4.2.1	 Selected	map	location	(Cursor)	and	selected	map	object	
You can mark a map location in the following ways: 
•
 Select the map during route guidance.
•
 Select the map when asked so that the destination can be confirmed after the 
search is completed.
•
 Select the destination from the map. (page 56)
When a map location is selected, the Cursor appears at the selected point on the 
map. A symbol 
 with a combined crosshair and red circle is displayed for easy 
visibility of any map scale size.
The location of the Cursor can be used as the destination of the route.  
You can search for a POI (point of interest), or you can save it as one of your 
Favorites destinations.
You can also select some of the objects on the map. If you select the map at the icon 
of a POI (point of interest) or a traffic event, the object will be selected.  You can 
then get information about this object or use it as a route point.
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

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.
