After the expiration of the warranty, a piec
e of equipment in need of repair will be
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, however, a precondition that the housing has
not been damaged and no unauthorised
attempts have been made
to carry out repairs.
Note
Damage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper handling of the system or from unprofession
al 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 navigation system is a recommendation for
reaching the intended destination. While
driving please pay a
ttention to stopping
restrictions, traffic lights, one-way streets, 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 while a CD is being ejected can destroy the CD drive in
the unit. Please note that the CD ejecti
on lasts a few seconds after pressing the
Eject button
. During this time the lock in fr
ont of the CD case is open. It is
essential that you wait until the CD has been
fully ejected before you try to insert a
new CD.
•
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 contro
l buttons 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 oper
ate the equipment. A display on the screen,
which cannot be called up by pressing the bu
tton, is therefore not available at that
time.•
Please note that a dirty or scratched na
vigation CD can considerably impair the
speed and the functions of the navigation system.Screen careTreat the screen with great care, becaus
e dents and scratches can occur through
finger pressure or contact with sharp objects. The screen can be cleaned with a soft cl
oth and finger marks can be wiped away
with pure alcohol.
Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or
petrol as they will attack the screen
surface.Anti-theft protectionThe anti-theft coding of
your navigation system prevents an operation of
the system after a voltage interruption,
e.g. during a vehicle repair or after
theft. After disconnecting the batt
ery, disconnecting the navigation
system from the on-board voltage of the vehicle and after a fuse failure, the code must be entered before the vehicle can be used again.

Route criteria Fa s t
: It calculates the fastest route to your de
stination, even if a detour is necessary.
Short
: Longer driving time in favour of a sh
orter route is acceptable. Please note
that the setting “Short route” during ro
ute guidance can sometimes lead to unex-
pected results. Economical
: The aim of the calculation is a ba
lance between mini
mal driving time
and driving distance. Dynamic route guidance with TMC use If the dynamic navigation is
switched off, traffic reports are nevertheless received in
the background and updated. The navigation displays traffic problems on the map and draws attention to them verbally, ho
wever does not consider them for calcu-
lating the route (the route can le
ad through the traffic problems).

Range selector 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 orientat
es itself solely with the
help of the vehicle sensors. In regions not at all or only partially digita
lised and stored as such on the navigation
CD, the navigation system will try to prov
ide 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 driv
ing. 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 consta
nt changes despite the information
about one-way streets, pedestrian zone
s etc. stored on the navigation CD.
Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and stop- ping 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, for example, the radio navigation
system to make you drive faster in
fog - risk of accident!GeneralYou can continue to listen to the radio
or play CDs during the route guidance
When entering an address (town, street), only those letters or symbols which make up a logical entry will be presented. A list
of possible names will be shown. Do not
forget to enter the blank space in names ma
de up of more than one word, such as
High Wycombe. The route will be recalculated if you leave
or disregard the route that was originally
calculated. This process takes only a few seconds. The last voice response can be repeated
by pressing the button or the menu control
button . The volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed whilst it is being made.

not
identical to the data on the SD
card, a corresponding message will be displayed.
– Press on the function key to overwrite the data stored on the
SD card with the data
from the navigation CD.
Store the navigation data from the navigation CD onto the memory card – Push a navigation CD with the written
side facing up as far as possible
into the CD case until it is automatically drawn in.
– Push the memory card into the card case . – Press the range selector key and while in the main menu
Navi-
gation
, press the range selector key .
– Select the function key using the menu control
button and then press the function keys and .
The navigation data can be stored ei
ther on the CD or on the SD card.
If an SD card with navigation data of the
same country as on the CD is inserted in
the unit (however the data on the CD correspond to a newer version), a question is displayed after inserting the CD asking if the data should be overwritten with the new version or if only the data of th
e CD should be used for navigating.
If an SD card is inserted with the cards
of other countries than the card contained
on the CD, a question is displayed asking
if the data on the CD should be added
onto the SD card or if only the
data of the CD should be used.
You can copy data from seve
ral navigation CDs onto an SD card. The navigation
data on the SD card are automatically li
nked by the navigation system. For this
reason, we recommend to use an SD card
with sufficient memory capacity. A
memory capacity of approx. 4°
GB is necessary in order to copy the navigation data
of Western Europe. Using the data of a navigation CD for a short period of time If you only drive for short
periods through an area which is not stored on the SD
card, insert the navigation CD for the driven area. Up to date navigation data and new navigation CD Road guidance is subject to
constant changes (e.g. new streets, changes of street
names and house numbers). A navigation CD
is a huge data store, which unfortu-
nately will not be up to date after a certai
n 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 CD. Remaining function buttons The following function buttons are only active
if a navigation CD is inserted in the
unit and the memory card
contains navigation data.
