and high frequencies.
Telephone volume – Minimum volume for telephone conversations. During a
telephone conversation, the volume may be adjusted usin g the corre-
sponding control.
Initial volume – This setting is used to define the i nitial volume when the

GALA – The setting for the sensitivity of the speed-depe ndent volume adjust-
ment (GALA). The greater the vehicle speed, the more noi se there is in the
interior. This system increases the volume of the equi pment as a result. The
volume will be increased more the furthe r the control is set towards the right.

Navigation OverviewHow does the navigation system work, and how is it operated?
An optimal route is defined us ing sensors, satellites and
traffic reports and the driver is then guided to his or her desti-
nation.The current vehicle position is determined using a sy stem of satellites (GPS -
Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle mea sure distances that
have been driven. Thanks to the detailed informatio n on the navigation CD
the measurements values are compared and if necessa ry they are updated
using the traffic reports ( TMC = Traffic Message Channel). An optimal route to
the destination is determined in this way.

drive to the nearest garage or be guided to a hotel.

SafetyThe navigation system determines the position of the vehicle, the direction
and distance and the route to a selected destination w ithout taking traffic
regulations into account. Navigation recommendations are given as
announcements by the system. Direction arrows are al so shown on the
screen. The destination is entered when the vehicle is stationary. The desti-
nation guide function is designed for cars and is thus unsuit able for larger
commercial vehicles.
4)Depending on the model version

The last audio instruction can be r epeated by pushing the button. The
volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed whilst it is being
made.
If the display Off Road appears on the screen, it means you are on a rout e not
recorded on the CD, e.g. on a dirt road. The GPS satellites will not be able to
reach your antenna when you are in a tunnel or undergrou nd garage,
meaning that the unit orientates itself via the wheel sensors. If you try to carry
out a route calculation in this situation you may hear an ann ouncement indi-
cating that you are located on a street fo r which no digital record exists. Drive
on until the display Off Road disappears.

possible that no new traffic reports will be received. In t his case, the dynamic
destination guide is limited or may not work.
Traffic problems during dynamic destination guide
If, while the destination guide is working, a traffic prob lem arises on the
route, an audio message will indicate the traffic problems or , just before the
problem, will indicate that there are traffic problems.
The navigation system will calculate the quickest possible route when the
dynamic destination guide option is active. The system mi ght well guide you
through a traffic jam if the diversion would be longer.
To display the received traffic reports
Pressing the button displays a list of the latest t raffic reports from
the received TMC station.
Rotating and pressing the menu button, addition al information on the traffic
report is displayed. Thus, information may be obtained on route traffic and
the route may be altered before beginning the destination guide.
Note
•
The dynamic route guide option will only function if y ou are receiving at
least one TMC radio station. During the destination gui de, the TMC station
must be listened to.
•
The quality of the dynamic destinatio n guide depends on the information
contained in the traffic announcements. The stations and / or tr affic informa-
tion providers are responsibl e for the information quality.
•
In some situations, the proposed deviat ion in function of some TMC traffic
report may possibly not represent any time saving if th e alternative route is
also saturated.
