Overview - BMW M5 Owner's Manual

4 Infotainment System

Overview

Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Before driving:
•
Become familiar with the
navigation system operation,
hard keys on the faceplate, and
touch-sensitive screen buttons
of the navigation system.
•
Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the tone,
and adjusting the speakers.
•
Set up the navigation features
before beginning to drive, such as
entering an address or a preset
destination.
•
For vehicles with phone
capability, set up phone numbers
in advance so they can be called
with the press of a single button or
a single voice command.

WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often while using the
navigation system could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death
to you or others. Focus your
attention on driving.
{
WARNING
Avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the
navigation screen. This could
cause a crash and you or others
can be injured or killed. Use the
turn-by-turn voice guidance
directions whenever possible.
Use the navigation system to:
•
Plan a route by selecting a
destination using the various
methods and choices.
•
Follow turn-by-turn instructions
and map guidance with voice
prompts, when permitted by traffic
laws, controls, and conditions.
•
Receive RDS broadcast
announcements.
Always be alert and obey traffic
and roadway laws and instructions,
regardless of the guidance from the
navigation system. Because the
navigation system uses street map
information that does not include all
traffic restrictions or the latest road
changes, it could suggest using
a road that is now closed for
construction or a turn that is
prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Because the system
uses limited information, always
evaluate whether following the
system's directions is safe and
legal for the current conditions.
