4. Insert the map CD in the radio. To register the system and activate map, travel and/or
traffic info, see the operating instructions, Section "C-IQ",

approximately 2 to 10 minutes until GPS reception is satisfactory.
Setting the mounting angle
In order to ensure perfect functioning of the system, the navigation radio must be set
to the actual mounting angle in the instrument panel.
1. In navigation mode: Select the "Mounting angle" option in the "System settings"
menu.
2. Depending upon the installation, set the angle to between -10 and +30 degrees. The
system does not differentiate between negative and positive angles. Thus, even for a
mounting angle of, e.g. -10 degrees, set a value of "10" in the menu.

in the "INITIALISATION" menu can be performed.

"INITIALISATION" menu under " Clock Settings" and set the time zone for your
location. page 36.
