1997 MERCEDES-BENZ ML430 language

by the navigation processor Integrated Into the radio and navigation module (A2/56) .
During the switch-on phase (software is loaded), only basic map matching is available.
When the ignition is switched off all important location finding parameters are stored for the duration of the
shut-off delay (approx. 60 min) .
The permanent location finding feature uses three procedures which supplement each other ensuring very
precise and reliable location finding:
Basic location finding (dead reckoning)
Map-supported location finding (map matching)
GPS location finding
Manual entry of vehicle location
It is possible to enter the location manually on the operating and display module. This can be useful in the
following cases:
Following vehicle transport
(e.g. ferry or train) or
when GPS reception is not present when trip is started

Function
The data for navigation voice output is stored originally on the navigation DVD. They are transmitted with the
help of the DVD drive of the radio (A2) into the memory of the navigation processor and are then available
anytime for navigation.
The language is reloaded in the following cases:

automatically, after voltage to the radio (A2) was interrupted
manually, by activating the "SPRA" menu in the navigation mode
Loading the language requires approx. 20 s.
If the system is switched off while loading the language, the language data is lost and must be reloaded again.
Avoid strong vibrations to the vehicle (e.g. extremely bumpy roads) while the language is being loaded.
The navigation processor is integrated in the radio (A2).

Basic representation of the basic location finding shown on model 210
Basic location finding (dead reckoning) is the basic function of continuous location finding. It is permanently
carried out by the navigation processor that is integrated in the radio (A2) when the ignition is switched on
(approx. once per second) and is irrespective of the data of the DVD map. After switching off the ignition, the
current position is stored for the duration of the system shut-off delay time.
Fig. 46: Identifying Basic Location Finding Function

The following information is calculated with the aid of basic location finding:
Distance traveled
Absolute vehicle direction (compass direction)
Direction of travel (forward or reverse)
Calculation of distance traveled
The navi
gation processor receives the wheel speed signal of the following components:

The navigation processor continuously calculates the location of the vehicle with the aid of the following
procedures:
GPS location finding
Basic location finding (dead reckoning)
Map-supported location finding (map matching)
The correct position is determined by continuously comparing the locating result of these three procedures.
Route calculation
The route is calculated in the navigation processor according to the destination entered, or automatically, after
deviating from the recommended route. The recommended route is stored in the navigation processor
Guidance
After the navigation processor has calculated the route, guidance is started. The driver receives continuous
information with the aid of guidance symbols appearing on the display of the radio and navigation unit
(A2/56) and voice announcements on the vehicle loudspeaker.
