INSTANT NAV
The Navigator makes it possible to reach
a desired destination through visual and
acoustic directions. The Navigation sys-
tem is quick to use, easy and, above all,
very flexible because you can recall pre-
ferred destinations and reference points
such as hotels, monuments, public build-
ings (e.g. hospitals, airports, etc.) and fill-
ing stations.IMPORTANT NOTES
The Navigation system provides assis-
tance whilst driving and is designed to give
advice, via voice and graphic information,
on the best route for reaching a desired
destination. The instructions given by the
Instant Nav do not mean that the driver
should abdicate responsibility for the ma-
noeuvres they make whilst driving the car
in traffic and they must still follow the high-
way code and other traffic laws. The dri-
ver is always responsible for road safety.
GPS reception may be poor under trees,
between tall buildings, in multi-storey car
parks, tunnels and anywhere where the
satellite area may have difficulty picking up
a signal.
If the battery is replaced or disconnect-
ed or if the car is moved with the engine
and the Instant Nav off (e.g. whilst travel-
ling on a ferry), the GPS system needs a
few minutes to determine the new posi-
tion of the car.The GPS satellite aerial should not be
covered by metal or damp objects.
In conditions where wheel grip is con-
tinuously bad (e.g. when sliding on ice), the
Navigation system may temporarily show
an inaccurate position for the car.
When the system is turned on, when the
first navigation function selection is made,
the display will show a message with warn-
ings for using the system. This message will
not be displayed until the next time it is
started up.
