MERIVA FEATURES/OPTIONS
SATELLITE NAVIGATION
The optional Navi 650/950 satellite navigation
systems offer dynamic route guidance via RDS-TMC
(Traffic Message Channel) with directions given
audibly and via the 7-inch colour monitor. TMC is
a specific application of RDS used for broadcasting
real-time traffic information. It alerts the driver to
a problem on the planned route and calculates an
alternative route to avoid the incident.
In addition to route planning criteria such as
'shortest distance' or 'avoiding toll roads' , you can
now select an energy-optimised 'green route' .
Here you can specify parameters such as if you
are towing a caravan or have a roof box fitted. The
system will use this information, in conjunction
with known factors including your vehicle's weight
and engine type, to calculate the most fuel-efficient
route.
The Navi 650 system covers all major link roads and
streets in towns and cities across mainland Britain
and Ireland, plus trunk and main roads for Western
Europe. Additional country-specific maps with
street level detail are available to download. Navi
950 IntelliLink covers street level mapping across
Europe. The CD player plays regular audio CDs and
MP3 tracks recorded to CD.
NAVI 950 INTELLILINK
The Navi 950 audio system includes the latest
IntelliLink technology, designed to support portable
Bluetooth and USB audio devices, so you can hook
®
up your smartphones or tablets to make calls and
access your own music, slideshows, podcasts and
more.
DIGITAL RADIO
Now widely available in the UK, digital multi-media
broadcasts offer the user a variety of advantages
over traditional FM, starting with the digital quality
sound which is immune to any hiss or crackle.
You'll often find a broader range of stations on offer
too, many of which are not available on FM, and
listening to them couldn't be easier – you simply
select the station, by name, from the displayed list,
thus removing the need to retune or look for stations
when travelling around. Some stations will even
display the artists' names and song titles on the
car's graphic display, while they're played.
AUX-IN SOCKET
The aux-in socket allows you to connect your
portable MP3 music player directly into the car's
audio system. All you need is your music player
and a suitable connecting lead and you can listen to
all your favourite tunes through your car's speaker
system. Using your MP3 music player in the car
couldn't be easier – use it to select the music, as you
would normally do, while controlling the volume via
the car's regular volume controls.
USB CONNECTION
Fitted as standard on all MERIVA (excluding
Expression) models, the USB connection is located
alongside the aux-in socket in the centre console. It
provides iPod control and read-out of iPod functions
through the audio system display. Traditional aux-in
sockets only allow control of volume through the
car's audio system. The USB connection also means
that the iPod will charge whilst it is connected.
MOBILE PHONE SYSTEM WITH
BLUETOOTH ®
Fitted as standard to Meriva Energy and Tech Line
models, available as an option on S, Exclusiv,
and SE models. Vauxhall's factory-fit mobile phone
system has been considerably enhanced. Now
fully integrated into the audio and communication
system, it also features voice control* and will
connect wirelessly to phones with Bluetooth ®
technology.
All the required information is displayed on the
graphic information display when a mobile phone
is in use, while the menus are easily navigated
by either the steering wheel audio controls or the
multi-function button on the radio.
* = Please note, voice control is not available with Navi 650 units.
