Caution
•
Inserting a new CD while an inserted CD is being ejected can destroy the
CD drive in the unit. You must wait until the CD is ejected before trying to
insert a new CD.
•
Do not press buttons or keys forcefully, otherwise an imperfection may
occur. Light pressure is sufficient to operate the unit. The rotary/push knobs
have breaking points to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
•
Do not use pointed or sharp objects on the touch screen. Lightly pressing
with your finger is enough. The screen indication that it cannot be activated
by pressing with your finger is not available.
•
Please not that a defective navigation data medium can serious impair
the speed and functions of the navigation system ⇒ page 49.
•
Refer to the notes on requirements for data media, folders and playlists
⇒ page 25.Note
•
The unit can play audio files fr om various different data media
⇒ page 25.
•
The navigation system takes a few seconds to process complicated oper-
ations. During this time, the unit may appear not to respond to further opera-
tion of the controls. When this occur s, do not continue to operate the
controls, as the unit “remembers” any commands and will “work through”
them in the order they were given when the current processes have been
completed.
•
Interference noise may be heard when using a mobile telephone in the
vehicle.
•
In vehicles with a window aerial, the reception could be impaired if foil or
metal-coated stickers are attached to the windows.
•
In some vehicles with a parking distance warning system*, the volume of
the audio source currently playing is automatically reduced when the vehicle is put into reverse gear so that the driver can hear the acoustic signals given
by the parking distance warning system.
•
In vehicles with an optical parking system*, a visualisation of the detec-
tion range of the parking distance warning system is also shown on the
screen.
•
If changes have already been made to the basic settings, you may find
that some aspects of the unit's operation differ from the descriptions given in
this manual ⇒page 11, “Resetting the unit to the factory settings”.

settings menu.
– Turn the setting knob or use the or function buttons to alter
the current setting. The graphic scale shows the adjustment of
the setting ⇒page 12, fig. 6 .
To give you an idea of the changes you are making when adjusting the volume
settings, the current audio source is played at the adjusted settings while you
make an adjustment.
Changes to tone, volume and volume distribution always apply to all audio
sources.
Functional description of speed- dependent volume control (GALA)
You can set the degree to which the volume increases with speed (GALA) on
a scale between 1 and 7. At 0, speed-dependent volume control is switched
off (display: Off).
The noise level in the vehicle increases with vehicle speed. The GALA function
automatically adjusts the volume in line with the speed of the vehicle.
If a low value is set, the volume rises only slightly when the speed of the
vehicle increases.
If a high value is set, the volume rises significantly when the speed of the
vehicle increases.
In this way you can always adjust the GALA function in each situation in the
most optimum manner (for example, if dr iving with the windows open or if the
vehicle is equipped with a roof carrier).
The basic volume is still changed with the volume control ⇒page 3, fig. 1

40Playing order of files and foldersThe equipment plays the MP3s stored on a data media in the following order.
The illustration shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks, folders and
subfolders.
•
Playback commences with the first trac k of the “root directory” of the CD.
For example, there are two titles and in the root directory.
•
Once the tracks from the root directory have been played, the tracks in the
folders are next, following the same order as they are found in the data
media. For example, there are two main folders in the root directory: F1 and
F2 . The folder F1 is found in the first place within the root directory, which
means that the two files in it ( and ) will be played immediately after
those in the root directory.
•
Once the tracks from the first folder have been played, the tracks in the
subfolders are next, following the same order as they are found in the data
media. For example, folder F1 has two subfolders: F1.1 and F1.2, which
contains a subfolder F1.1.1 within F1.1. The unit first plays all the tracks in
subfolder F1.1 , then switches to subfolder F1.1.1 and plays the tracks in
that subfolder Once all of the tracks from subfolder F1.1.1 have been
played, subfolder F1.2 is next, and the tracks in . If there are more
subfolders within F1.2, the unit changes to those folders as described above.
•
Once all of the files in the first fo lder of the root directory (and the
subfolders) have been played, the files in the next folder are played, in the
order described above. For example, tracks and in folder F2.
•
The track that is currently playing is highlighted in the radio-navigation
system's track list ⇒page 36, fig. 27. The name of the folder currently being
played appears in the bottom line of the screen. If the track is in the root direc-
tory of the data media, only the name of the data media is shown.Note
•
The unit also supports playlists and treats them like folders when playing
files.
•
Refer to the notes on requirements for data media, folders and playlists
⇒ page 25.

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.
