Usage .......................................... 11General information
The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
Using the FM, AM or DAB radio
functions, you can register a great
number of stations on various
favourites pages.
You can even register music tracks,
telephone numbers, destination
addresses or tone settings on the
favourites pages.
The integrated CD player will
entertain you with audio CDs and
MP3/WMA CDs.
You can connect external data
storage devices, e.g. iPod, USB
devices, or other auxiliary devices to
the Infotainment system as further
audio sources; either via a cable or
via Bluetooth.
The navigation system with dynamic
route planning will reliably guide you
to your destination, and, if desired,
automatically avoid traffic jams or
other traffic problems.In addition, the Infotainment system is equipped with a Phone portal that
allows comfortable and safe use of
your mobile phone in the vehicle.
Using the phone projection function,
you can operate specific applications
on your smartphone via the
Infotainment system.
Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using controls on the steering wheel or via the speech
recognition system.
The well-thought-out design of the
control elements, the touch screen
and the clear displays enable you to
control the system easily and
intuitively.
Notice
This manual describes all options
and features available for the
various Infotainment systems.
Certain descriptions, including those
for display and menu functions, may not apply to your vehicle due to
model variant, country
specifications, special equipment or
accessories.

Introduction7Important information on
operation and traffic safety9 Warning
Drive safely at all times when
using the Infotainment system.
If in doubt, stop the vehicle before operating the Infotainment
system.
9 Warning
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic.The related traffic
regulations must always be
followed.
Only make entries (e.g. addresses) with the vehicle
stationary.
If a navigation instruction
contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
9 Warning
In some areas one-way streets
and other roads and entrances
(e.g. pedestrian zones) that you
are not allowed to turn into are not marked on the map. In such areas
the Infotainment system may
issue a warning that must be
accepted. Here you must pay
particular attention to one-way
streets, roads and entrances that
you are not allowed to drive into.
Radio reception
Radio reception may be disrupted by
static, noise, distortion or loss of
reception due to:
● changes in distance from the transmitter
● multi-path reception due to reflection
● shadowing
Theft-deterrent feature
The Infotainment system is equipped
with an electronic security system for
the purpose of theft deterrence.
The Infotainment system therefore
functions only in your vehicle and is
worthless to a thief.

Usage .......................................... 44
Destination input ..........................50
Guidance ..................................... 56General information
The navigation system will reliably guide you to your destination.
The current traffic situation is taken
into account in the route calculation.
For this purpose, the Infotainment
system receives traffic
announcements in the current
reception area via RDS-TMC.
The navigation system cannot,
however, take into account traffic
incidents, traffic regulations changed
at short notice and hazards or
problems that arise suddenly (e.g.
road works).Caution
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic. The relevant traffic
regulations must always be
followed. If a navigation instruction contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
Functioning of the navigation
system
The position and movement of the
vehicle are detected by the navigation
system using sensors. The travelled
distance is determined by the
vehicle's speedometer signal, turning
movements on bends by a gyro
sensor. The position is determined by the GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites.
By comparing the sensor signals with the digital maps, it is possible to
determine the position with an
accuracy of approx. 10 metres.
The system will also work with poor
GPS reception. However, the
accuracy of the determination of the
position will be reduced.
After the entry of the destination
address or point of interest (nearest
petrol station, hotel, etc.), the route is
calculated from the current location to
the destination selected.
Route guidance is provided by voice
output and an arrow, as well as with
the aid of a multi-colour map display.

44NavigationImportant information
TMC traffic information system and
dynamic route guidance
The TMC traffic information system
receives all current traffic information from TMC radio stations. This
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During
this process, the route is planned so
that traffic problems related to pre-
selected criteria are avoided.
If there is a traffic problem during
active route guidance, depending on
the pre-settings, a message appears
as to whether the route should be
changed.
TMC traffic information is displayed in
the map display as symbols or as
detailed text on the TMC messages
menu.
To be able to use TMC traffic
information, the system must receive
TMC stations in the relevant region.
The TMC traffic stations can be
selected in the navigation menu

requirements. After creation, such

Navigation49user defined POIs can be
downloaded to the Infotainment
system.

latitude values) of the respective
location and a descriptive name.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, you will find the
respective POIs as selectable
destinations in the My POIs menu,
see "Selecting a point of interest" in
chapter "Destination input" 3 50.
Creating a text file with POI data
Create a text file (e.g. by using a
simple text editor software) with an
arbitrary name and the file
extension .poi, e.g. "TomsPOIs.poi".
Notice
Character encoding UTF-8
(Unicode) needs to be selected
when storing the text file. Otherwise
the POI data may not be imported
correctly to the system.
Enter the POI data into the text file in the following format:
Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, "Name of POI",
"Additional information", "Phone
number"
Example:
7.0350000, 50.6318040, "Michaels
Home", "Bonn, Hellweg 6",
"02379234567" , see image above.
The GPS coordinates must be
expressed in decimal degrees and can be taken, e.g., from a
topographical map.
The additional information and phone number strings are optional. If, e.g.,no additional information is required,
"" needs to be entered at the
respective position.
Example:
7.0350000, 50.6318040, "Michaels
Home", "", "02379234567" .
The POI name and the additional
information string may not exceed 60
characters each. The phone number
string may not exceed 30 characters.
The POI data of each destination
address must be entered in a single
separate line, see image above.
Storing the POI data on a USB drive
In the root directory of a USB drive,
create a folder named " myPOIs",
e.g. "F:\myPOIs", where "F:\" is the
root directory of the USB drive.
In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text
file with your POIs, e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsPOIs.poi".
