26As many as 99 tracks can be shown, although all those contained in the
folder can be played
A title with three figures will not show the hundreds on the screen, only the
last two.
The music can be controlled via the radio keys. Choosing and playing songs,
fast forward and rewind and random playback are described in the radio
manual of your vehicle.
If there are folders in the root director y individual files will not be played, so
all data in the root directory should be in folders
Storing files in a memory stick or MP3 player
Store files in folders instead of using th e root directory of the memory stick or
player. In this way the songs can be st ored in order (eg all the songs in a
certain style in the same folder).
The function keys to of the radio can only select the first 5 folders.
If there are more than 6 folders in the memory stick or MP3 player their
content cannot be played.
The folders can be subdivided into subfolders eg different albums by an
artist.
Example of a music folder structure:
Playback of music via USB connection
Connect the memory stick or MP3 player with the USB extension cable to the
USB port.
The screen will show the first 6 folders detected by the USB port, displayed as
CD 1 to CD 6 . Folders without music files will not be included.
If there are more than 6 music folders in the device, the exact number of
folders can be shown using the CD options. If the music files are not classified into
folders, but stored directly in the root
directory, the radio will read the files and play them in the same order. The
display then shows CD 1.
Music files and folders will be played in alphabetical order, so files begin-
niing woth numbers will be selected first, before those with letters. A file with
the name 1XXXXXXXX will be played before another with the name AAAAAA.
Screen indications
When selecting a music file with the CD keys, it appears iin the radio equip-
ment screen Track 1 .
As many as 99 tracks can be shown.

song playing As long as the content is not changed, the system will start
again from this point.
•
If many songs are skipped, there may be a delay during playback.
•
The detection of the memory stick or MP3 playere requires a few seconds
depending on the type of memory used.
•
The title of the song is not shown on the screen.

Navigation27
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 system of satellites (GPS -
Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distances that
have been driven. Measured values are compared using the detailed map
material on the navigation CD and corrected with the assistance of TMC traffic
announcements as necessary. An optimal route to the destination is deter-
mined in this way.
Navigation announcements and direction arrows shown on the screen and in
the instrument panel* guide you safely and conveniently to your destination.
You can drive to a given address in towns you are unfamiliar with, or drive to
the nearest garage or be guided to a hotel.
In this chapter, answers can be found to the following questions:•
What rules do I have to keep to when using the navigation system?
⇒ page 27, “Safety”
•
How do I use the navigation CD? ⇒page 28, “The navigation CD”
•
Can I listen to music when using the navigation system? ⇒ page 28,
“General notes”
•
What happens if I leave the recommended route? ⇒page 28, “General
notes”
•
Can a navigation announcement be repeated? ⇒page 51, “Announce-
ment of navigation recommendations”
•
How does the MFD2 radio navigation system respond when driving in an
underground car park or a tunnel? ⇒page 28, “General notes”
•
How do I enter destinations? ⇒page 30, “Destination entry”
•
How can I enter garages, restaurants or hotels as destinations?
⇒ page 34, “Special destinations close to the address”
•
Can I store destinations in a memory? ⇒ page 36, “Destination memory”
•
What parameters can I set for route calculation? ⇒page 39, “Parameters
for route calculation”
•
What can I see on the screen? ⇒page 44, “Map and symbol displays”
•
Can I stop the destination guide functi on before I reach my destination?
⇒ page 50, “Destination guide”
SafetyThe navigation system determines the position of the vehicle, the direction
and distance and the route to a selected destination without taking traffic
regulations into account. Navigation recommendations are given as
announcements by the system. Direction arrows are also 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 unsuitable for larger
commercial vehicles.
WARNING
•
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when following the
recommendations made by your navigation system.
