SETUP
Possible cause/remedy
Ignition switched off:
• Switch on the ignition.
Ignition is already switched on, and system is on stand-by:
• Press one of the cursor buttons, the OK button, or the menu button
on the remote control.
At extremely high or low temperatures, the system is automatically
switched off to protect against damage. It switches on again as soon
as the temperature has returned to normal.
No batteries inserted or batteries empty:
• Replace the batteries in the remote control, or install the remote
control in its holder.
• Check whether "Audible information" has been activated in the
"Settings" menu.
• Check whether "Volume" in the "Settings" menu is set to minimum.
If no external speaker is connected:
• Check the volume setting of the monitor.
• Activate the required specifications in the "Settings
–> Screen config. –> Status line" menu.
No GPS reception.
• Ensure that the GPS antenna is not obscured by any objects.
• Set the correct time zone in the "Settings –> General settings –>
Measuring units" menu.
An accuracy of 50 m falls within the specified tolerance limits. Please
contact an authorised dealer if greater inaccuracies occur repeatedly.
Problems with GPS reception persist. The position is corrected auto-
matically as soon as GPS reception is satisfactory.
• If necessary, wait a few minutes.
• Have your installation workshop verify that the mounting angle of
the navigation computer has been set correctly.
It is possible that the car's position as calculated by the navigation
system is not currently correct. Traffic routing may have been
changed and no longer corresponds to the information on the navi-
gation data medium.
Poor/disrupted TMC reception.
