Route adjustment on the basis of the traffic
information received
If traffic information affecting the route has
been received, the navigation system will ad-
just route calculation to accommodate current
traffic conditions.
Notes
The navigation system always calculates the
route that will take the least time; this means
that in the event that detouring traffic conges-
tion would involve considerable time and dis-
tance, the navigation system might opt to drive
through the traffic congestion. This depends
on the length and type of traffic congestion re-
ported and the length of the detour.The correct functioning of the automat-
ic route adjustment depends on the
traffic information received. The traffic
offices at the radio stations are
responsible for the contents of the
traffic information.

ceived via TMC as text messages on the dis-
play of your navigation system.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is a naviga-
tion system that was developed by the
Pentagon. It currently consists of 25 satellites
that orbit the Earth at an altitude of 21,000 km.
If the system is able to pick up signals from at
least 3 of the satellites, it will be able to
determine the vehicle’s current location.
•Mark and confirm the “GPS viewer” menu
field in the “Settings” menu.
The information display that appears will indi-
cate:
– the number of satellites available
– the number of satellites whose signals are
within reception range
– the current geographical location of the ve-
hicle.
Note
If the system is not able to pick up signals from
at least 3 satellites, the following message will
appear: “Geographic location cannot current-
ly be determined”. Anti-theft coding is an electronic system that
prevents unauthorised persons from using the
equipment after it has been disconnected from
its power source.
Each time that
–
the system is disconnected from the vehi-
cle power supply
– the battery is disconnected
– the electric fuse for the radio blows
the following message will appear in the dis-
play: “SAFE”. You will not be able to switch on
the system until you have entered the correct
code.
This code number can be found along with
the series number in the back of the operat-
ing instructions on the “Equipment card”.
Make sure that you remove the “Equipment
card” and keep it in a safe place. Never leave
the card inside the vehicle. This makes the
equipment useless to thieves!
