Safety-related Features

Handbrake interlock

Certain functions offered by this Mobile Navigation System could be dangerous if used while
driving. To prevent them being used while in motion, there is an interlock with your vehicle's
handbrake. If you attempt to use these functions whilst driving, the message "You cannot use
this function while driving" will be displayed. Find a safe place to stop and apply the
handbrake.

Day and night map backgrounds

To prevent the normal display from appearing too bright and distracting you when driving after
dark or in dull conditions, the map background changes automatically to a darker colour when
you switch on your vehicle lights. You can, however, turn off this automatic switching (see
"Auto day/night background" on page 112).
Daytime display Night display
The examples in this manual are illustrated using the daytime display. When driving at night,
the colours you see may differ from those shown.
• To use this function, the ILL lead to the Mobile Navigation Unit must be connected correctly.
