Navigation (NAV) 108Navigation (NAV)General safety precautionsThe driver is completely responsible for traffic safety
even when driving with the Navigation System active.Fig. 111 Display: WarningWhen you set your vehicle in motion and you press the
button, a warning message is shown in the display.
Lesen Sie die Warnmeldung aufmerksam und beachten Sie
die wichtigen Hinweise.
– Select Accept by pressing the control knob when you
have finished reading the warning message.
Be sure that you always have complete control of your vehicle in all
traffic situations when using navigation.
WARNING
Always obey traffic laws, signs and signals, they take prece-
dence over navigation system recommendations.
Always concentrate on driving and pay attention to the road,
listen to the voice prompts and never let yourself be distracted by
the map display on the screen
page 9.
Always remember that data on the Navigation DVD can differ
from the actual situation because of insufficient data or because
the road or traffic routing has changed since the area was
mapped. Do a “reality check” and ignore the navigation system
recommendation if necessary.
Always remember that even if one-way streets, pedestrian
zones, etc. are stored on the Navigation DVD, traffic routing is
subject to constant change. Traffic signals, turning lanes or prohi-
bitions, stop and yield signs, no parking and similar zones as well
as narrow lanes are not covered by the navigation system.
Always adjust your speed to road, traffic and weather condi-
tions and visibility. Never let information about the road ahead
cause you to drive too fast for conditions, for example in fog.
The volume setting should be selected to ensure that outside
signals, such as police and fire truck sirens, are always audible -
danger of accident!
