What to do if …
What to do if …
>a navigation DVD is inserted, but an instruc-
tion to insert the DVD appears on the Con-
trol Display?
The navigation DVD may not be the correct
DVD for the navigation system. This infor-
mation is indicated on the DVD label.
>you request the current position of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise dis-
play?
The system is unable to receive enough
GPS signals at your current position due to
obstructions, your position is not yet avail-
able on your navigation DVD, or the system
is in the process of calculating your posi-
tion. Reception is best when you have an
unobstructed view to the sky.
>the destination guidance does not accept a
destination?
The data of the destination is not stored on
the navigation DVD that is loaded. Select a
destination that is as close as possible to
the original.
>the destination guidance does not accept
an address without the street name?
On the navigation DVD, no downtown area
can be determined for the city or town
entered. Enter any street, or a destination
such as the railway station in the selected
town, and then start the destination guid-
ance.
>you want to enter a destination for the des-
tination guidance, but it is not possible to
select the letters for your desired entry?
The data of the destination is not stored on
the navigation DVD that is loaded. In this
case, the system will not offer you any let-
ters to choose from. Select a destination
that is as close as possible to the original.>the system stops furnishing directions on
which way to turn as you approach intersec-
tions?
You are driving in an area that has not yet
been completely recorded on the naviga-
tion DVD. Instead of an arrow indicating a
turn, you will see an arrow which indicates
the general direction of your planned route.
Or you have left the recommended route
and the system requires a few seconds to
calculate a new recommended route.
>the navigation system does not react to
entries?
If the battery was disconnected, it takes
about 10 minutes before the system is once
again operational.

Displaying DVD audio contents
DVDs are usually divided into titles that are
divided into chapters. The playback begins with
the title that contains the most chapters. For
example, this has the advantage that the intro-
duction of a DVD is not played first.
All of the chapters, numbered all the way
through, are show, i.e. the numbering is differ-
ent than on the DVD. The numbering of the
DVD is displayed in the status line.
Example:Chapter 06 of the selection corresponds to
chapter 4 in title 1 of the DVD.
Since the first title is not played automatically,
the display in the chapter selection can begin
with a higher number than 01.
The behavior during playback of the DVD
can differ, depending on the DVD. It may
not be possible to play some DVDs or the play-
back may stop before the end. In this case, the
system usually skips to the next DVD in the
DVD changer. Select the chapter by turning the controller.
If playback does not automatically continue
after the end of a title, then use the controller to
select the next chapter.
A maximum of 99 chapters of a DVD can be
played back.
