Position display
The current information on the position of the vehicle is
shown here.
GPS status (number of satellite re ceptions, positioning mode) including
the direction and distance to destin ation (with active route guidance).
Direction of travel
Altitude (GPS altitude). If too few satellites are received to calculate the
altitude, the display is grey.
GPS position (longitude)
GPS position (latitude)
The direction of travel is shown in degr ees and also in the form of a compass.
The GPS status shows the number of satellites as dots and also shows the
positioning mode (NO FIX, 2D FIX, 3D FIX).
•
NO FIX – The GPS reception is not sufficient to fix the position of the
vehicle.
•
If the position definition for NO FIX is only possible using the wheel
sensors (underground garage etc), the GPS coordinates will be displayed in
grey. The GPS coordinates will no longer be shown following a long distance
with NO FIX in the display or if it is not possible to determine the position.
•
2D FIX – The horizontal position of the vehicle can be determined, but not
the altitude (altitude display is grey).
•
3D FIX – Position and altitude can be determined.
The altitude may oscillate between 0 m and +5000 m with a margin of error of
± 15 m. The exactness varies in function of the GPS reception quality or of the
climatic conditions.
The direction to the destination is shown in the form of a marking outside the
compass. If the destination is not in the area displayed by the compass (i.e.
to the side or behind the vehicle), the marking is shown as an arrow to the
side in question.

Announcement of navigation recommendations
Navigation recommendations are made as voice announce-
ments and also in the display.
– Press the button ⇒page 4, fig. 1 .
– P r ess i f yo u wa n t to h ea r t h e cu r r e n t na vi ga t i o n re co m m e n d a - tion ⇒ .Once the route is calculated the first recommendation is heard, for example
“Continue on the street”. Before turning you may hear up to three messages,
for example, “Prepare to turn left”, “Turn left after 200 m” and “Now turn to
the left”. A proximity bar will be shown in the display on the right-hand side
of the turn arrow shortly before the last announcement is made. The proximity
bar shows how far away the turning point is. The distance to the next change
of direction will be shown in the display after you have turned.
On roads with more than one lane that cross, you will be informed of the lane
to drive on, for example “Preppare to continue on the left” and “Now continue
on the left”.
You will also be told which exit to use off a roundabout before you enter it, e.g.
“That you should leave by the second exit.” In a roundabout this means “Turn
at the second exit to the right”.
An announcement will be made when you reach your destination. If the navi-
gation CD contains the destination street, you will hear the following
message: “You have reached your dest ination”, otherwise “You have reached
the destination area”. The latter may occur if you have entered the destina-
tion using coordinates and it is not on a road.
WARNING
The driver must concentrate on the voice announcements and also on the
traffic around you. The recommendations made on the basis of the informa-
tion on the CD may differ from what you actually see due to incomplete data
or a different road layout (e.g. due to road works). Please keep to traffic
regulations and ignore the navigation recommendations if necessary.•
Traffic signs and legislation always have priority over the recommenda-
tions made by the system.
