Functions of your navigation system

By buying this Multimedia System you have purchased a high-performance instrument
which has been designed to assist drivers in daily traffic. Simply enter the destination
prior to setting off, activate "Guidance" and you are ready to go. The navigation
system will provide driving instructions in audible and visual form. The system is simple
to use, because of the small number of operating elements and its clear menu
structure.
■
Range of functions
Some of the functions described in this manual are only to be used in conjunction with
optional accessories. It may also be that use cannot be made of certain functions in
some countries because the data has not been surveyed. Due to the large range of
functions, a conscious decision was taken not to allow all the settings to be used in any
combination in the interests of ensuring ease of use and functionality.
■
Distance indications
On main roads, the distances to exits indicated by the system deviate from those on
road signs. The road signs on main roads refer to the start of the exit, while the
navigation system always indicates the distance to the end of the slip road. This is the
point where the driving lanes fork (separate).
■
Operating restrictions (country-specific)
If a symbol depicting a crossed-out hand appears in the bottom status line it means
that only limited operating options are available whilst driving. Whether or not this
function is activated will depend upon the prevailing national regulations.
■
GPS reception
The system has been designed to remain operational even when there is poor GPS
reception. However, positional accuracy may be impaired.
