Functions Of Your Navigation System - VDO MS 5600 Manual

4
A
Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when attempting to locate an emergency
service (police, fire service, etc.). It cannot be guaranteed that all available emergency services
in your vicinity are stored in the database. Use your own discretion and abilities to secure help
in such situations.
A
Making a phone call while driving can greatly reduce your level of awareness and distract
you from the traffic situation. In order to avoid endangering the occupants and other road users,
the driver should not make phone calls while driving. Observe the local regulations relating to
making phone calls in the vehicle.

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. With the mobile phone
connected, you increase the safety and ease with which calls can be made from within
the vehicle. 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 you cannot use certain functions in some countries
because the data has not been surveyed. Due to the large range of functions, a con-
scious 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 navi-
gation 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 re-
ception. However, positional accuracy may be impaired.
