trol Display?

DVD for the navigation system. This infor-
mation is indicated on the DVD label.
>you request the current position of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise dis-
play?
The system is unable to receive enough
GPS signals at your current position owing
to obstructions, your current position is not

current position. As a rule, reception is
guaranteed when you are in the open.

the navigation DVD that is loaded. Select a
destination that is as close as possible to
the original.
