NAVIGATION-GUIDANCE
What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
the route and fi nally it provides the vi-
sual and audible guidance instructions. What precautions should be
observed in order to make best use
of the system?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x any refl ective fi lms or fi lms
containing carbon to the windows.
The GPS (Global Position-
ing System) consists of
several satellites distribut-
ed around the earth. They
continuously transmit digi-
tal signals which travel at the speed of
light, on 2 different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to cal-
culate its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map
database stored on the hard disk allows
the vehicle to be positioned on the road
network, so improving the accuracy of
the vehicle location function. What is a point of interest
(POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest
icon").
They are classifi ed in
5 groups and identifi ed by one colour
for each group:
- Shops, fi nance and businesses (Green),
- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),
- Restaurants (Orange),
- Public places and emergency ser- vices (Brown),
- Entertainment and attractions (Blue).
GPS
The system's measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or underground car park,
- underneath a two-level motorway,
- in an area with several very high buildings,
- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation
and the reception of the GPS informa-
tion, the displayed information may dis-
appear from the screen temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, ...

AUDIO-VIDEO
What is RDS? RDS station following Traffi c information function
Your radio automatically checks
and selects the best frequency
for the radio station to which it is
tuned (if the station broadcasts on sev-
eral transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers
approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another
explains the loss of reception during a
journey.
If the station to which you are listening
does not have several frequencies in
the region in which you are currently lo-
cated, you can deactivate the automatic
frequency following.
Radio Data System (RDS) func-
tion on the FM waveband permits:
- tuning to the same station while travelling through different regions
(if the transmitters of this station
cover the area through which you
are travelling),
- temporary tuning to traffi c informa- tion announcements,
- display of the name of the station, etc...
Most FM stations use RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible
data in addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
temporary tuning to traffi c information
announcements or automatic station
following.
RDS allows you to continue listening to
the same station by means of the fre-
quency following. However, in certain
conditions, this RDS frequency following
cannot be provided throughout the coun-
try. Radio stations do not cover the whole
country, which explains the loss of recep-
tion of the station during a journey. The Traffic Program (TP) function
permits automatic and temporary
switching to an FM station broad-
casting traffi c information.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the traffi c information has ended,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were lis-
tening to initially.
Regional following mode Some stations are organised in
a network.
In different regions, they broad-
cast different or shared programmes
depending on the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibility that you will be listening to a different
programme. Programme types
Some stations offer the option
of listening to a themed type of
programme as a priority, select-
ed from the list available below:
NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFOS, SPORT,
EDUCATE, DRAMA, CULTURE,
SCIENCE, VARIED, POP M, ROCK
M,
EASY M, LIGHT M, CLASSICS, OTHER M,
WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN,
SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN, TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY, NATION M,
