MAP CD
The navigation system utilizes a database stored in a special format on a
CD. It is recommended always to use the latest update of this map CD.
If you travel to different regions or wish to have more detailed
information on a special area, refer toOrdering additional map CDs
later in this section.
²The navigation system will only work with CDs specifically intended
for your navigation system.
²The CD ROM drive of the navigation system does not play any other
CDs (i.e. Audio CDs or personal computer CDs).
²Always store the map CDs in their protective cases when not in use.
Changing the map CDs
1. Press
the button on the navigation computer once, if the red
power LED is on (normally when the ignition is switched on).
2. Press the
button twice, if the red power LED is not on.
²The CD is ejected.
3. Take out the CD and gently insert the new map CD with the printed
side facing the front passenger seat until it is installed.
²The system needs a few seconds for initialization after changing the
map CD.
If the last entered destination address is not (or only partly) on the map
CD you have inserted, the entire reference to this previous address or
parts of it will be deleted.

GLOSSARY
Map CD
Compact Disc with CD-i format. CD which contains data only readable by
a special CD player. Digitized road maps, city maps and a database of
facilities of special interest (for example parking, hotels, restaurants, gas
stations etc.) are stored on a map CD.
GPS
Global positioning system: A system for determination of the exact
position by receiving data from several earth orbiting satellites. To
calculate a precise position at least four satellites have to be receivable
simultaneously. The GPS receiver calculates the vehicle position with the
received GPS signals. The satellite icon is displayed in green color as
long as sufficient GPS data is received.
Gyroscope
One of the sensors used for calculation of the current vehicle position.
The gyro is located in the navigation computer. It measures changes in
the vehicle's direction.
Navigation computer
The core component of the navigation system. The navigation computer
compares the data on the map CD with the signals coming from the
sensors and from the GPS receiver and calculates the current vehicle
position. Also route planning and guidance functions are handled by the
navigation computer.
SDVC
Speed dependent volume control: For compensation of engine, wind and
rolling noise of the vehicle the voice volume is increased dependent on
the vehicle speed. The increase of the voice volume is controlled by the
navigation system. You can adjust the volume increments by selecting
different SDVC curves.
