VIA POINTS
If you want to pass certain
addresses or locations on the way to
your ultimate destination, you can
store these via points in the
Navigation menu. The navigation
system will calculate the route to
next via point and will continue
planning to the following via point,
when the previous one was reached.
Select ªVia pointsº from the Navigation menu.
²The ªVia Pointº menu is displayed.
The following options are available:
Country (United States):To enter the country destination address. In
the picture above there is already the ªUnited Statesº entered as country.
Because of this, you cannot see the word ªCountry.º
City (Los Angeles):To enter the city of the destination address. In the
picture above there is already ªLos Angelesº entered as city. Because of
this you cannot see the word ªCity.º
Road:To enter the road name. In case a road is already selected, the
word ªRoadº disappears and the selected road is displayed.
No:To enter the house number.

Limitations of the Emergency Feature
The performance of the Navigation System Emergency function is limited
by the following conditions:
²If the ignition switch is not in the ON or ACC position.
²If the vehicle is involved in an accident, damage to equipment may
have occurred.
²If the vehicle battery is dead, discharged or disconnected, the system
will not operate.
²If a CD digital road map is not loaded, the Emergency feature will not
perform properly. The correct CD digital road map must be loaded and
your location must be digitized in detail, in order for the name of the
street where you are currently located to show up on the display.
²Obstructions may cause the system to be temporarily inoperative.
Global positioning satellite signals and cellular telephone signals that
relay vehicle positioning and communications data may be obstructed
while inside tunnels, parking garages etc.
In some instances, the street name may not be displayed. For example,
you traveled outside the CD digital road map boundaries, the incorrect
CD is loaded, or you are in a remote, non-digitized area on the CD.
However, as long as the global positioning system is operating properly,
your current longitude and latitude will be displayed.

MAP CD
The navigation system utilizes a database stored in a special format on a
CD. It is recommended always to use the latest update of this map CD.
If you travel to different regions or wish to have more detailed
information on a special area, refer toOrdering additional map CDs
later in this section.
²The navigation system will only work with CDs specifically intended
for your navigation system.
²The CD ROM drive of the navigation system does not play any other
CDs (i.e. Audio CDs or personal computer CDs).
²Always store the map CDs in their protective cases when not in use.
Changing the map CDs
1. Press
the button on the navigation computer once, if the red
power LED is on (normally when the ignition is switched on).
2. Press the
button twice, if the red power LED is not on.
²The CD is ejected.
3. Take out the CD and gently insert the new map CD with the printed
side facing the front passenger seat until it is installed.
²The system needs a few seconds for initialization after changing the
map CD.
If the last entered destination address is not (or only partly) on the map
CD you have inserted, the entire reference to this previous address or
parts of it will be deleted.

GLOSSARY
Map CD
Compact Disc with CD-i format. CD which contains data only readable by
a special CD player. Digitized road maps, city maps and a database of
facilities of special interest (for example parking, hotels, restaurants, gas
stations etc.) are stored on a map CD.
GPS
Global positioning system: A system for determination of the exact
position by receiving data from several earth orbiting satellites. To
calculate a precise position at least four satellites have to be receivable
simultaneously. The GPS receiver calculates the vehicle position with the
received GPS signals. The satellite icon is displayed in green color as
long as sufficient GPS data is received.
Gyroscope
One of the sensors used for calculation of the current vehicle position.
The gyro is located in the navigation computer. It measures changes in
the vehicle's direction.
Navigation computer
The core component of the navigation system. The navigation computer
compares the data on the map CD with the signals coming from the
sensors and from the GPS receiver and calculates the current vehicle
position. Also route planning and guidance functions are handled by the
navigation computer.
SDVC
Speed dependent volume control: For compensation of engine, wind and
rolling noise of the vehicle the voice volume is increased dependent on
the vehicle speed. The increase of the voice volume is controlled by the
navigation system. You can adjust the volume increments by selecting
different SDVC curves.
