NAV mode (Navigation)

Introductory information

The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommenda-
tions can only then be re-transmitted.
In regions that are not or only partially digitised and are therefore not included in
the navigation data, the device will continue to try to provide guidance to the
destination. Please note that under these circumstances the route guidance may
not be completely correct if, for example, one-way streets and road categories
(motorway, country road, etc.) are not or only partially included in the navigation
data used.
When entering an address (city, 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 made up of more than one word, such
as High Wycombe.
The last voice prompt can be repeated by pressing the menu button
page 3. The volume can be changed while you listen to the travel recommenda-
tion.
The GPS satellites will not be able to reach the aerial once you are in a tunnel or
underground garage. In these cases, the unit uses only the vehicle's sensors and
an internal gyroscope for navigation.
WARNING
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! Driver inattention can
■
lead to accidents and injuries. As the driver you are fully responsible for road
safety. Only use the functions of the device in such a way that you are always
in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!
The following must always have priority over the driving recommendations:
■
the road traffic legislation, even if the driving recommendations contradict
■
the StVO,
the actual acknowledgement of traffic signs, light signals or signs placed
■
by the police at the relevant location,
the facts and circumstances prevailing at the relevant location.
■
WARNING (Continued)
Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
■
Traffic signs and traffic regulations always have priority over the driving rec-
■
ommendations provided by the navigation system.
Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to information
■
relating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored in the navigation da-
ta. 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 tak-
en into account by the device.
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather conditions.
■
Do not let the device to tempt you to drive too fast in the fog, for example –
risk of accident!
The device and its various functions should only be used when traffic condi-
■
tions permit safe use.
The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situations,
■
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 recommendations.
Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehicle,
■
e.g. sirens from vehicles to give way to, such as the police, ambulance and fire
brigade, can be heard at all times.

Note
It is not necessary to enter the destinations (country, city, road, point of interest
■
names) including all country-specific (or language-specific for points of interest)
special characters.
Depending on the country, some functions of the device can no longer be selec-
■
ted on the screen at certain speeds. This is not a malfunction, but corresponds to
the legal requirements of the particular country.

Navigation data and the navigation DVD

The navigation data are already available after the memory of the radio naviga-
tion system is switched on first and can be used directly for route guidance.
Storing the updated navigation data can take up to one hour. Route guidance will
start via the navigation DVD while the navigation data is being stored. Please
note that route guidance will be interrupted if the navigation DVD is removed.
Route guidance must then be restarted with details supplied from the device
memory.
