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.

General information
6Operation when driving The demands of today's road traffic require full concentration from all road users at
all times.
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 by trying to use the unit, concen-
trate instead on the traffic situation.
•
Use the unit only if road, weather an d traffic conditions permit and you
will not be 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.Note
Depending on the country, some functions of the radio navigation system can no
longer be selected on the screen at cert ain speeds. This is not a malfunction, but
corresponds to the legal requiremen ts of this particular country.
General operationThe screen of the unit is a so-called touch screen (touch-screen). Fields
circled in colour on the touch-screen are presently “active” and are oper-
ated by touching the screen.
