Range selector key TRAFFIC (TMC)Displaying traffic reports TRAFFIC (TMC)TMC traffic reports are used 
during route guidance, depend
ing on the set-up for the  
automatic optimization of the route,  
to report possible traffic problems. 
– Press on the range selector key   to display the current traffic reports in a list.– Press on the display of a traffic repo 
rt to show it in a detailed display. 
– You can browse through all the traffic information received in the detailed display,  
also in sequence by using the arrow keys. 
From which TMC station the reports are to  
be announced can be determined in the  
Setup Radio 
. 
During route guidance all set-up dependin 
g TMC traffic reports are displayed in the  
surrounding area of the location or only th 
ose specified on the calculated route list. 
Traffic problems are illustrated in the de 
tailed display and in the map by a corre- 
sponding symbol. The direction, in which a tr 
affic problem is found in the map will be  
displayed by an arrow in the symbol. In the event of a traffic problem an alternat 
ive route can also be
 calculated manually.
Note
•
The unit has a continuous background of
 TMC traffic reports providing a TMC  
station at the current location can be receiv 
ed. The station you are listening to does not  
have to be a TMC station.•
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated  
and displayed by the 
unit if the naviga- 
tion data for the currently driven area is stored in the unit memory or can be called up via an inserted navigation DVD.•
The quality of the dynamic route guidan 
ce depends on the transmitted traffic  
announcements. The radio stations broadcasti 
ng this information are responsible for  
the content.•
TMC traffic reports are necessar 
y for the dynamic navigation.
•
There may not be any advantage in avoiding the traffic jam if, as a result of the TMC  
traffic reports, the diversio 
n is also heavily congested.

30TV mode*Explanation of the technical terms“Terrestrial television” or DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestric) With DVB-T, digital television signals are transmitted terrestrially (earthbound) and can  also be received via an aerial. DVB-T theref 
ore offers mobile reception of high quality  
without the need of a fixed aerial connection. DVB-T is therefore described as “ 
Terres- 
trial television 
”. 
Advantages of DVB-T In addition to a significant gain in quality, the transmitter capacity of a television  channel can be realised more effectively th 
rough digital transmitter technology rather  
than analog signals. The greater data rate  
enables several programs of one television  
channel to be transmitted bundled in one data 
 flow (so called “Multiplex”). Part of the  
transmitter capacity can also be used for a 
dditional services, e.g. electronic program  
guides or radio. “Hybrid tuner” for analog 
 and digital reception 
The supply of DVB-T has up to now been re 
stricted to densely populated regions, so  
that an analog television receiver in the vehicle is still a prerequisite. It is for this reason  that a  
Hybrid tuner
 was developed for the unit, which consists of a common analog  
TV receiver and a DVB-T receiver. Display of analog an 
d digital TV stations 
The TV stations, which can be received, are indicated in the display of the combination  instrument and when switching over and calling up the  
TV menu on the touch-screen.  
Analog and digital TV stations are displayed differently and are marked on the touch- screen with “ 
Analog
” or “
DVB-T
” ⇒page 31, “Displays in TV mode”.
OverviewThe TV picture will only be displayed when 
the vehicle is stationary. The touch-screen  
is switched off while driving, but the sound can still be heard.Starting TV mode– Press the range selector key   to switch to the main menu  
MEDIA
. The last  
used media source will continue to play. 
– Touch the touch-screen in the menu  
DVD
 in order to call up the Video-DVD mode. 
– Press the function key   to start the TV 
 mode. The last set TV channel will be  
displayed in the pre-set aspect ratio in full picture mode.
Switching the TV menu on and off– In the TV mode, briefly press on the touch-screen to fade in the  
TV menu displayed  
on the TV picture

34Range selector key NAV (Navigation)OverviewSafety information regarding the use of the navigation systemThe route is recalculated each time if yo
u ignore driving recommendations or change  
the route. This process takes only a few  
seconds. Driving recommendations can only  
then be re-transmitted. Incomplete navigation data The navigation system cannot receive any data from GPS satellites if you drive for  longer periods under thick forest canopy or 
 when your vehicle is
 in a garage, under- 
pass or tunnel. In this case, the navigation system orientates itself solely with the help  of the vehicle sensors. In regions not at all or only partially digitalised and stored as such on the navigation  DVD, the navigation system will try to provide guidance to the destination. Please note  that under these circumstances the guidance  
to the destination may not be completely  
correct if, for example, one-way streets and  
road categories (motorway, country road  
etc.) are not at all or only partially  
included in the navi
gation data used.
WARNING
Always concentrate fully on your driving. Inattention by the driver can lead to  accidents and injuries.•
Do not allow yourself to be distracted or loose your concentration, pay  
attention to the traffic situation and do not carry out settings or use the radio  navigation system.•
Only use the radio navigation system if road, weather and traffic situations 
permit this and you are not distracted.•
The various volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible 
signals from the outside, such as e.g. a  
Martins horn from police cars and fire  
brigade, can be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please observe the legal requirements for road traffic when following the  driving recommendations provided by your radio navigation system.•
The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situations,  
e.g. due to road works or out of date  
navigation data. In such a case, always  
observe the traffic regulations and  
ignore the driving recommendations.
•
Traffic signs and traffice regulations always have priority over the driving  
recommendations provided by the navigation system.•
Route guidance is subject to constant 
 changes, particularly to information  
relating to one-way streets, pedestrian 
 zones etc. stored on the navigation  
DVD. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and  stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is not  included in the radi 
o navigation system.
•
Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not allow,  
for example, the radio navigation system  
to make you drive faster in fog - risk  
of accident!Navigation data and the navigation DVDStore navigation data in the unit– Push the navigation DVD with  
the written side facing up as far as possible into the  
CD/DVD case until it is automatically dr 
awn in. The unit will compare the data on  
the navigation DVD with the data in th 
e navigation system memory. No message  
will appear if the data in the navigation  
system memory of the unit is identical to  
the data on the navigation DVD. 
– Press the function key  , to find ou 
t that the storing process has been  
completed. 
– If the corresponding messag 
e appears, press the button   or press on the func- 
tion key   and take out the navigation DVD. Active route guidance is inter- rupted and must be restarted.

ance will be interrupted if the navigation DVD is taken out. Route guidance must then  be restarted with details su 
pplied from the navigation 
system memory of the unit. 
Up to date navigation da 
ta and new navigation DVD 
Road guidance is subject to constant chan 
ges (e.g. new streets, changes of street  
names and house numbers). A  
navigation DVD is a huge data store, which unfortu- 
nately will not be up to date after a certai 
n time. This can lead to complaints during  
route guidance. It is  for thi s rea son tha t you mus t re gularly  
update the navigation da
ta on your unit with  
a current navigation DVD.Input windows of the navigation systemSelecting a destination from the list– If you press on the function key   after opening the input mask, a list will open
