Activating anti-theft alarm
During initial operation of the radio and navigation unit (A2/56) it is necessary to activate the anti-theft
alarm with the aid of the hand-held tester.
After activation has been accomplished, deactivation is no longer possible.
Only after activation is it necessary to enter a 5-digit code after interruption of the power supply. When entering
the code observe:
After the code has been entered incorrectly three times the message "Wait" appears. The radio and
navigation unit (A2/56) is then disabled for ten minutes. ?
Following the next three incorrect entries operation is not possible for ten minutes again. ?
Then after an additional 3 incorrect entries the unit is disabled for 1 hour in each case.
The waiting time expires only with the radio and navigation unit (A2/56) switched on.
Inserting and ejecting CD
CDs can be inserted and ejected (audio or navigation CD) in all operating states. After pressing the "eject
button" a CD already inserted is ejected by a motor. If the CD is not removed within approx. 14 seconds, it is
pulled back in automatically.
After inserting a CD it is necessary to push it a slight distance into the CD opening; it is then pulled in the rest
of the way automatically.
When a navigation CD is inserted the menu for entering destination is activated automatically. However,
this applies only when the system has previously requested that the navigation CD be inserted.
The eject button for the CD drive also functions when the radio and navigation unit (A2/56)is in the "code
wait state". This means that a CD can be removed in spite of the request to enter the anti-theft code.

Driving direction recommendation
Distance to next turning point (specified in units of length)
The data is determined by the navigation processor and transmitted to the radio and navigation module
(A2/56) The current route guidance is primarily supported by the voice output (English).
The scale of the displayed map can be changed in increments. In addition it is possible to select whether the
map is aligned in the direction of motion Head-Up ) or toward the north North-Up ). The graphical signals for
map illustration is generated by the navigation processor.

When traveling outside of the digitized map area (e.g. company grounds, parking buildings, dirt roads,...),
however still within the DVD map boundaries, the navigation processor switches over to "navigation system in
non-digitized map area".
On the radio (A2) display the following message appears:
"OFF ROAD"
If the vehicle is also outside the DVD map limit, the following message appears:
"OFF MAP"
In both cases, only basic location finding is accomplished with correction using the GPS data.
A (limited) route guidance can be conducted only with specification of the:
Distance from the destination as the crow flies
Direction to the destination (as an arrow)
After reentering the digitized map area, the system automatically continues with "navigation system in digitized
map area". The possible streets/roads on which the vehicle may be located are determined with the aid of GPS
location finding. During this process a slight delay in the route guidance may result.
The road data of several Central European countries are stored on the navigation DVD, so that the "OFF
MAP" message will not appear, if borders between the stored countries are crossed. No special foreign country
DVD has to be inserted.

control module (A40/3) provides the following destination input capabilities:
Address...
Destination memory...
Destination using map...
Special destinations (e.g. railway station, airport etc.)
Travel guide...
Intermediate destination entry
Destination memory with individual destination designation capabilities
Final destination...
Dynamic route calculation by:
Blocking of route sections (traffic-jam function)
Traffic-jam ahead
Blocking in route list
Incorporation of traffic information of an external service provider via telephone TCS (once, cyclic every
t=15min. ). Chargeable services.
Incorporation of traffic information via RDS broadcast (TMC ), free of charge
Predictive speller (editor)
During the entry of the destination the missing letters are augmented for an available list. This is only active in
the political index and relates to the destination and road entry as part of the destination finding. In the menu
Special destinations the submenus" Bypassing other locations... " and "National destinations... "are assisted.
The "Supraregional destination... " menu is divided up into additional submenues. The individual menu
points in this submenu use the political index .

Risk of explosion/risk of fire
Highly flammable materials in the vicinity of damaged, energized xenon bulbs may result in explosion or cause
fires.
Risk of injury
UV light may escape when operating xenon bulbs not properly installed in the xenon headlamps. This UV light
may cause damage to the eyes (conjunctival infection) and to skin burns (sunburns) if skin is unprotected.
In both intact or faulty xenon headlamps, hot or glowing components may cause serious burn injuries if they
come into contact with unprotected skin or eyes.
Glass splinters produced by the destruction of xenon bulbs may cause cut injuries in unprotected skin and
unprotected eyes.
Risk of poisoning
When xenon bulbs are destroyed, serious health problems may be caused if the mercury vapors produced are
inhaled or if mercury compounds or toxic salts are ingested or absorbed through the skin. Possible
consequences include nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal disruptions as well as degradation of the kidneys
and the central nervous system. Skin and eye damage may also result.
Safety precautions/instructions
Persons with electronic implants (e.g. pacemakers) must never work on xenon headlamps.
