Introduction Audio TelephoneNavigationIndex
System settings
Navigation is only possible while a navigation CD is
inserted in the single CD player.
The data stored on the original navigation CD is used for
route calculation. Using another CD might lead to mal-
functions.
Because of changes in local traffic patterns and/or
incomplete data, errors in calculation may occur.
In this case, the recommended trip may deviate from
the available traffic pattern, because the data informa-
tion stored on the CD represents the local conditions at
the time of the recording.The current vehicle position cannot be displayed exactly
in every case. Satellite reception conditions, road condi-
tions, the conditions of the vehicle, etc. could cause
deviations from the actual situation.
If the vehicle has been transported by a car, train or
ferry, MCS will require some time to find its exact posi-
tion. In these cases it is often sufficient to move the
vehicle a few yards to receive a complete route recom-
mendation.
