INSTANT NAV
The Navigator makes it possible to reach
a desired destination through visual and
acoustic directions. The Navigation sys-
tem is quick to use, easy and, above all,
very flexible because you can recall pre-
ferred destinations and reference points
such as hotels, monuments, public build-
ings (e.g. hospitals, airports, etc.) and fill-
ing stations.IMPORTANT NOTES
The Navigation system provides assis-
tance whilst driving and is designed to give
advice, via voice and graphic information,
on the best route for reaching a desired
destination. The instructions given by the
Instant Nav do not mean that the driver
should abdicate responsibility for the ma-
noeuvres they make whilst driving the car
in traffic and they must still follow the high-
way code and other traffic laws. The dri-
ver is always responsible for road safety.
GPS reception may be poor under trees,
between tall buildings, in multi-storey car
parks, tunnels and anywhere where the
satellite area may have difficulty picking up
a signal.
If the battery is replaced or disconnect-
ed or if the car is moved with the engine
and the Instant Nav off (e.g. whilst travel-
ling on a ferry), the GPS system needs a
few minutes to determine the new posi-
tion of the car.The GPS satellite aerial should not be
covered by metal or damp objects.
In conditions where wheel grip is con-
tinuously bad (e.g. when sliding on ice), the
Navigation system may temporarily show
an inaccurate position for the car.
When the system is turned on, when the
first navigation function selection is made,
the display will show a message with warn-
ings for using the system. This message will
not be displayed until the next time it is
started up.

With the Navigation system activated it
is possible to choose to display the map of
the area with the following features:
– zoom with resolution up to 50 metres
(adjustable using OK button/knob);

direction of travel (for zoom below 20
km);

of maps in 3D);
– Points of Interest (POI) symbol for the
following categories: restaurants, hotels,
service stations, car parks.INFORMATION DURING

The following information always ap-
pears on the left side of the display dur-
ing navigation:
Car location information: name of
road and area;
The map can be displayed on the right
side of the display (by pressing the NAV

“Pictograms and intersection zoom”: a
pictogram explaining the next manoeuvre
is displayed and then an enlargement of
the junction with directions for the route
to be followed.Navigation information: the follow-
ing traffic information is provided during
navigation:
– Symbol on the map: the Instant Nav
can be configured to display symbols on
the map corresponding to the traffic con-
ditions. The display only shows certain
conditions.
– Explanatory text: there is an explana-
tory text for each event. The list of types
of events is accessed from the menu and
choosing the type gives access to the list
of all corresponding events.
– Voice messages: voice messages giv-

has to be carried out are given during nav-
igation.

MAIN MENU NAVIGATION
The following information is displayed
(fig. 14):
– “Insert destination”;
– “Stops management”;
– “Insert diversion”;
– “Map options”;
– “Navigation options”;
– “Resume (or stop) navigation”.INSERT DESTINATION
The destination can be entered in dif-
ferent ways:
– Address of destination: consists of
entering the following information: Coun-
try, Town, Road, House number or In-
tersection.
– Points of Interest (POI): the navi-
gation system makes it possible to set a
point of interest as a destination allowing
it to then search for it:
– In the locality of where you are
– In the locality of the destination
– Near a general address
A list of points found can be given by dis-
tance or in alphabetical order.
After the destination has been entered,
the Navigator calculates the best route for
reaching it. There are three possible se-
lection criteria: “shortest time”, “shortest
distance” or “best distance/time ratio”.A further choice can also be set from the
following options:
– Toll roads (See Note);
– Ferries;
– RDS TMC/TMC Premium (Traffic In-
fo).
The location can be memorized in an or-
ganizer in order to be easily recalled lat-
er on. The Instant Nav also allows you to
link a name with the destination.
It is also possible to set a Point of Inter-
est as a destination allowing the user to
search for it successfully.
NOTE When you are travelling on a toll
road, the option "Toll roads" must be ac-
tivated to calculate or recalculate your
route.
