Range selector key NAV (Navigation)23
Range selector key NAV (Navigation)OverviewSafety information regarding the use of the navigation systemThe route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommendations
can only then be re-transmitted.
Incomplete navigation data
The navigation system cannot receive any data from GPS satellites if you drive for
longer periods under thick forest canopy or when your vehicle is in a garage, under-
pass or tunnel. In this case, the navigation system orientates itself solely with the
help of the vehicle sensors.
In regions not at all or only partially digitalised and stored as such on the navigation
CD, the navigation system will try to prov ide guidance to the destination. Please
note that under these circumstances the guidance to the destination may not be
completely correct if, for example, one-wa y streets and road categories (motorway,
country road etc.) are not at all or only partially included in the navigation data
used.
WARNING
Always concentrate fully on your drivin g. Inattention by the driver can lead
to accidents and injuries.•
Do not allow yourself to be distracted or loose your concentration, pay
attention to the traffic situation and do not carry out settings or use the radio
navigation system.
•
Only use the radio navigation system if road, weather and traffic situa-
tions permit this and you are not distracted.
•
The various volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible
signals from the outside, su ch as e.g. a Martins horn from police cars and fire
brigade, can be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please observe the legal requirements for road traffic when following the
driving recommendations provided by your radio navigation system.•
The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situa-
tions, e.g. due to road works or out of date navigation data. In such a case,
always observe the traffic regulations and ignore the driving recommenda-
tions.
•
Traffic signs and traffice regulations always have priority over the
driving recommendations provided by the navigation system.
•
Route guidance is subject to constant changes despite the information
about one-way streets, pedestrian zone s etc. stored on the navigation CD.
Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and stop-
ping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is not
included in the radio navigation system.
•
Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not
allow the navigation system to make you drive faster in fog – risk of
accident!
GeneralYou can continue to listen to the radi o or play CDs during the route guidance
When entering an address (town, street), only those letters or symbols which make
up a logical entry will be presented. A list of possible names will be shown. Do not
forget to enter the blank space in names made up of more than one word, such as
High Wycombe.
The route will be recalculated if you leave or disregard the route that was originally
calculated. This process takes only a few seconds.
The last voice response can be repeated by pressing the button or the menu
control button . The volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed
whilst it is being made.
