6Operation whilst the vehicle is in motion Travelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.
WARNING
It is fundamental that you are suffic iently alert while driving. Any distrac-
tion may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.•
Never lose sight of the road while using the equipment.
•
Use the equipment only when the state of the road, the weather and
traffic conditions permit.
•
When adjusting the volume, keep in mind that signals from outside the
vehicle, such as a police or fire brigade horn, must be audible at all times.Note
Depending on the country, some functions of the radio and navigation
system may not be available on the screen above a certain speed. This is not
an error, but rather compliance with the legal requirements of the country.Switching on or off– Briefly press the on/off switch ⇒page 3, fig. 1 to switch on
the unit. The system will initialise and the latest settings will
load. The most recently used audio source is activated.
– To turn off the equipment, briefly press the on/off button again.
When the unit is switched on, the last audio source used is activated at the
most recent volume setting, provided th is does not exceed the pre-selected
“ switch-on volume ” ⇒ page 12.
Switch-off delay
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the unit is switched off. You
can then switch the unit on again. The equipment automatically switches off
after 30 minutes, so as to not drain the vehicle's battery.
Convenience radio coding
If the equipment has been removed and then reinstalled in the vehicle, or if
the battery has been disconnected, it is no longer necessary to manually
deactivate the antitheft codification, since the code remains in the vehicle
memory after entering it the first time.
If the code numbers do not match, however, e.g. because the unit has been
installed in another vehicle, the electron ic lock must be released manually
⇒ page 88, “Entering the PIN”.

NAV (navigation system) function selection button
48The route is re-planned each time an indication is ignored or the vehicle
leaves the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Only after this oper-
ation will you be able to receive driving instructions again.
Depending on the country, some functions of the radio and navigation
system may not be available on the screen above a certain speed. This is not
an error, but rather compliance with the legal requirements of the country.
Errors in navigation
The navigation system cannot receive data from the GPS satellites if you are
driving for extended periods of time below leafy trees or if you enter into a
garage, underpass or tunnel. In these cases, the vehicle's sensors will be
used for orientation.
In areas that are not or only partially digitised on the data medium, the navi-
gation system will also attempt to carry out route guidance.
Note, however, that the route guidance may be partially incorrect if the
vehicle position cannot be accurately determined or ne-way streets and street
categories (motorway, country road, etc.) are not or only partially included in
the navigation data used.
WARNING
It is fundamental that you are suffic iently alert while driving. Any distrac-
tion may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.•
Never lose visual contact with the ro ad in order to adjust or use the
radio and navigation system.
•
Use the radio and navigation system only when the state of the road,
the weather and traffic conditions permit.
•
When adjusting the volume, keep in mind that signals from outside the
vehicle, such as a police or fire brigade horn, must be audible at all times.
WARNING
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when following the
recommendations made by your radio and navigation system.•
The navigation system indications may be different from the actual
situation, due to, for example, construction or outdated navigation data. If
this is the case, ignore these indi cations and follow the traffic signs.
•
Traffic signs and legislation always have priority over the recommenda-
tions made by the system.
•
Even though information regarding one-way streets, pedestrian zones,
etc. is stored on the data medium, road traffic routing is subject to constant
changes. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking
and stopping restrictions or speed limi ts is not included in the radio and
navigation system.
•
Always try to adapt the speed of the vehicle to weather, road and traffic
conditions. Relying excessively on the radio and navigation system could
lead you, for example, to drive too fast in fog, which could result in an
accident.
