General information

NoteDamage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper 
handling of the system or fr om unprofessional repair attempts. It is also essential 
that there is no external damage.Information on how to operate the navigation systemThe requirements of today's road traffic demand the driver’s full concentration at all 
times.
Apart from the availability entertainmen t, the extensive and demanding equipment 
details of this system also offer a wide range of information, which will help you to 
reach your destination quickly and safely.
But you should only operate the navigation system with its wide range of 
possibilities when the traffic situation allows.
The volume settings must be selected in  such a way that audible signals from the 
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility  vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire 
brigade), can be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please concentrate fully at all times on  your driving! As the driver you are 
fully responsible for road safety. Only use the functions in such a way that 
you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!Before using the navigation system•
Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
•
Street and location names can be change d. It is therefore possible that the 
names stored on the CD might not  correspond to the changed names.
•
The route calculated by the navigati on system is a recommendation for 
reaching the intended destination. While driving please pay attention to stopping  restrictions, traffic lights, one-way street
s, lane change restrictions, canals and 
ferries.
WARNING
Road traffic legislation (StVO) applies  at all times, even if a driving recom-
mendation contradicts the StVO.
Caution
•
Inserting a second CD/DVD while a CD/D VD is being ejected can destroy the 
CD/DVD drive in the unit. Please note that  the CD/DVD ejection lasts a few seconds 
after pressing the  Eject key   During this time the lock in front of the CD/DVD 
case is open. It is essential that you wait until the CD/DVD has been fully ejected 
before you try to insert a new CD/DVD.
•
Press the buttons and the keys of the unit gently in order to avoid damaging 
them. Gentle pressure on the appropriate key is sufficient to operate the unit. 
Please note that the rotary/push knobs  have predetermined breaking points, in 
order to reduce the risk of injury.
•
Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects to operate the touch-screen. 
Slight finger pressure sufficient to operate the equipment. A display on the screen, 
which cannot be called up by pressing the button, is therefore not available at that 
time.
•
Please note that a dirty or scratched  navigation DVD can considerably impair 
the speed and the functions of the navigation system.Note
•
Your navigation system is a high-powered  computer. Just as your computer at 
home, this unit needs a few seconds  for processing complicated control 
sequences. In such a case it is possible that  the unit will no longer react when oper-
ated from the outside until the triggered processes have been dealt with processed 
in the background. Please be patient, as it  is quite possible that the unit “stores” the 
carried-out operating steps even if it does  not appear to react to the operation from 
the outside. These operating steps are processed one after the other by the unit 
once the processes in the background have been completed, which can be 
confusing.

Selector key NAV (Navigation)
38Selector key NAV (Navigation)OverviewSafety information regarding the use of the navigation systemThe route is recalculated each time if  you 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 da ta 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, th e 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-wa y streets and road categories (motorway, 
country road etc.) are not at all or only  partially included in the navigation data 
used.
WARNING
Always concentrate fully on your drivin g. 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 situa-
tions 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 situa-
tions, 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 recommenda-
tions.
•
Traffic signs and traffice regulations al ways have priority over the driving 
recommendations provided by the navigation system.
•
Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to informa-
tion relating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored on the naviga-
tion 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 radio navigation system.
•
Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not 
allow the navigation system to make  yu drive faster in fog – risk of 
accident!
Navigation data and the navigation DVDStoring navigation data in the unit
– Push a navigation DVD with as far  as possible into the CD/DVD case 
with the written side facing up until it is automatically drawn in. The 
unit will compare the data on the navigation DVD with the data in the 
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  out that the storing process has 
been completed.

– If the corresponding message appears, press the key   or press the  function key   and take out the navigation DVD. Active route guid-
ance is interrupted and must be restarted.
Updating navigation data in the unit
– If the data of the navigation DVD is  not identical to that stored in the 
navigation memory of the unit,  a corresponding message will be 
displayed.
– Press on the function key   to ov erwrite the data in the navigation 
system memory of the unit with the data from the navigation DVD.
Using the data of a navigation DVD for a short period of time
– If you leave the stored area map in  the navigation memory of the unit 
for only a short period of time, insert the navigation DVD for the area 
to be driven.
– Press on the function key   and leave the navigation DVD in  the unit. The unit uses only the data from the navigation DVD for the 
navigation.
– If you are again in the area of the ma p material stored in the navigation 
memory, press the key   to take out the navigation DVD.
Storing the navigation data can take up to  one hour. Route guidance will start via 
the navigation DVD while the navigation data  is being stored. Please note that route 
guidance will be interrupted if the navi gation DVD is taken out. Route guidance 
must then be restarted with details suppl ied from the navigation system memory 
of the unit.
Up to date navigation data  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 cert ain time. This can lead to complaints during 
route guidance. It is for this reason that you must regula
rly update the navigation data 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 with all the destinations  containing the relevant parameters 
selectable from the navigation memory (e.g.   and  ).
– If need be, move the sliding regulator to the right edge of the touch- screen for all entries in the list to be displayed.
– Press the desired entry in the list to take it over for the address.
Limiting the destination and selecting from the list
– You can open a list of the selectable destinations any time by pressing  the function key   behind the entry  line while making entries in the 
entry line. Only destinations select able from the navigation memory 
will be displayed and which corres pond to the requirements and the 
character sequence in the entry line.
– The number of selectable destinatio ns will be displayed in the func-
tion key   if fewer than one hundred destinations can be selected.
–If fewer than six destinations ar e selectable, the entry window will 
close automatically and a list of possible destinations will be 
displayed.
