The Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the mobile phone 
adapter is restricted to the interior of the vehicle. The connection may be 
susceptible to interference caused by other electronic devices or obstacles 
between the devices. If your mobile phone is, for example, in the pocket of 
your jacket, this may influence mobile phone detection or data transmission.
Note
•The use of mobile phones in the vehicle can generate electromagnetic 
fields.
−Therefore, you should always operate mobile phones with an external 
aerial. It is also valid for the use of mobiles using Bluetooth technology. 
The external aerial directs the electromagnetic fields to the exterior, 
which reduces the field strength in the vehicle interior.
− If retrofitting an external aerial, please ensure that it is installed 
correctly.•For more information on how to bond your mobile phone, please refer to 
the mobile phone operating instructions.

WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require the full attention of drivers. Please 
see  ⇒page 6, “Notes on road safety”.•Observe traffic regulations when driving. The route calculated by the 
navigation system is a recommendation of how best to reach a destination. 
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always 
take precedence. Pay attention to traffic lights, no-stopping signs, lane 
change restrictions, one-way streets, etc.Caution
The volume of the sound system should be set at a level that enables you to 
hear acoustic signals from outside, such as police and fire brigade sirens. 
Failure to do so may cause an accident.
IntroductionIntroductionThe navigation system makes time-consuming map reading superfluous.
During route guidance you receive information on the dash panel display 
⇒ page 86, fig. 93  regarding vehicle position, turn-off information (direction 
and distance to turn-off) and estimated arrival time. Additionally, you receive 
spoken navigation information  ⇒page 87.
There are two possibilities for route guidance:•Route without stopover (single destination mode)•Route with stopovers (route plan)
Route without stopover (single destination mode)
In the single destination mode you can drive directly to a destination 
⇒ page 91.
Route with stopovers (route plan)
In the route with stopover mode ( ⇒page 92) you can enter up to six stopo-
vers and a final destination.
For example, when travelling you can save time by finding the nearest filling 
station in unfamiliar towns. You can also make a stopover to eat in a restau-
rant or visit a tourist attraction.

NoteYou do not receive any information about the meaning of road signs!How does the navigation system work?
The navigation system works with the help of satellites (GPS).Route information and satellite signals are used to pinpoint the current 
vehicle position. GPS satellites send the necessary signals required by the 
system (GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”).
The information is transmitted to the navigation system and compared with 
the information stored in the navigation CD map database. This way, the 
route guidance can be accurately calculated.
The navigation CD must be in the CD drive to calculate the route  ⇒page 24. 
Once the calculation is complete, you can remove the navigation CD and play 
audio or MP3 CDs in the internal drive unit. The data required for navigation 
is stored in the navigation system. Where the navigation system requires 
more data (e.g. if the route is modified), the system will ask you to insert the 
navigation CD.
Navigation operations are limited if the navigation CD is not inserted. Some 
functions, such as route modification, are “greyed out” and cannot be 
selected.
The navigation system improves the route during the trip. The route initially 
calculated may differ to the route actually taken.
The navigation instructions can be given in 9 languages (English, German, 
Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish and Czech). The 
language can be selected using the  menu language function in the setup 
menu  ⇒page 116.
Note
•Snow or other obstructions on the GPS aerial or interference caused by 
trees or large buildings could affect the reception of the satellite signals and 
make positioning difficult. GPS reception can also be adversely affected by 
the deactivation or malfunction of several satellites.•Street and town names can change, therefore the names stored on the CD 
can in some cases be different from the names that have since been changed.•You can obtain navigation CDs from your dealer. Your dealer will also be 
able to provide information on updates which are available for the CDs.Navigation route guidanceRoute guidance assistance is given both visually and acoustically:•by voice guidance•by the display in the dash panel  ⇒fig. 93

Note
You can also start a route guidance in demo mode ⇒ page 107 for simulation

display will show a list of the selected route criteria options ( ⇒page 103) 
and the dash panel display will show an arrow. This arrow faces in the direc-
tion of the entered destination.
When route calculation is complete, guidance is given by spoken driving 
instructions and symbols. The spoken navigation directions are given in good 
time before a turn-off.
You can use the following options to repeat the last navigation voice 
message:•Press the rotary pushbutton while in the Nav-Info menu.•Press the control button for  Nav-Info if you are not  already in the Nav-Info  
menu.•press the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering wheel* 
⇒ page 14.
If the navigation CD is inserted in the CD player  ⇒page 25, the language in 
which the navigation system voice guidance is given can be changed 
⇒ page 116.Caution
If driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws always take 
precedence.
Note
•You can adjust the volume of the voice guidance prompts as they are 
being announced using the on/off button  ⇒page 11 on the navigation 
control console or the right thumbwheel on the multi-function steering 
wheel*  ⇒page 14.•If the vehicle is in a location that cannot be read by the navigation system 
(e.g. car park or garage), a voice message will inform you of such. The arrow 
in the dash panel display faces in the direction of the entered destination.•In neighbouring countries, the instructions given are slightly different to 
those of your country of origin, as the navigation CD for these countries only 
contains the main roads.Dynamic navigation
The dynamic navigation function calculates routes based on 
the currently available TMC traffic messages.If the dynamic navigation function  ⇒page 103 is activated and a TMC radio 
station is set, the system constantly checks whether relevant TMC messages 
are available for the selected route. If the navigation system then determines 
that a TMC traffic message is relevant for the current route, the system will 
automatically calculate a new route plan to the destination.
The navigation system receives and processes the traffic announcements 
issued by certain channels (TMC) in addition to regular programming. The 
reception of TMC traffic messages is free of charge in Germany.
Note
•Please note that the TMC messages sent by the radio stations may not 
always be complete and correct.

After you have entered a route and started the route guidance, the navigation 
information is displayed in the dash panel display.
If you are approaching a turn-off, an arrow will indicate the direction of the 
turn-off. The name of the street onto which you must turn-off will also appear 
under the arrow. The bar graph (countdown) ⇒ fig. 95 on the right in the 
display corresponds to the distance up to the turn-off.
