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

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
