taking the road type into account, e.g. whether
the route involves highways or winding roads.

the navigation system may not always be the
same ones that you would choose based on
personal experience.

Wordmatch principle
The system relies on a wordmatch principle to
make it easier for you to enter the names or
towns or streets. The system runs ongoing
checks, comparing your destination entries
with the data stored on the navigation DVD as
the basis for instant response. The user bene-
fits include:
>Names of specific locations can also vary
from the official versions provided that the
spelling of the entry corresponds to a stan-
dard form used in another country.
>When you are entering the names of cities
and streets, the system will complete them
automatically as soon as enough letters are
available to ensure unambiguous identifica-
tion.
Example:
If you want to drive to Iowa Ave NW in
Washington, D.C., by the time "o" is
entered, the system has already identified
the street name and displayed it in the lower
half of the Control Display.
>The system only gives you the option of
entering letters for names that are stored on
the navigation DVD. It is therefore impossi-
ble to enter incorrect names or to enter
address data that are not included on the
DVD.

What to do if …
>a navigation DVD is inserted, but an instruc-
tion to insert the DVD appears on the Con-
trol Display?
The navigation DVD may not be the right
DVD for the navigation system. The DVD is
labeled accordingly.
>you request the current position of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise dis-
play?
The system is unable to receive enough
GPS signals at your current position due to
obstructions, your position is not yet avail-
able on your navigation DVD, or the system
is in the process of calculating your posi-
tion. Please wait and then try again a little
later.
>the route guidance does not accept a desti-
nation?
The data of the destination is not stored on
the navigation DVD that is loaded. Select a
destination that is as close as possible to
the original.
>the route guidance does not accept an
address without the street?
On the navigation DVD, no downtown area
can be determined for the city or town
entered. Enter any street, or a destination
such as the railway station etc., then start
the route guidance.
>you want to enter an address for the route
guidance, but it is not possible to select the
letters for your desired entry?

case, the system will not offer you any let-
ters to choose from. Select a destination
that is as close as possible to the original.>the system stops furnishing directions on
which way to turn as you approach intersec-
tions?
You are driving in an area that has not yet
been completely recorded on the naviga-
tion DVD. Instead of an arrow indicating a
turn, you will see an arrow which indicates
the general direction of your planned route.

and the system requires a few seconds to
calculate a new recommended route.
>the navigation system does not react to
entries?
