Digitised area
Ensure that you are using the latest version of
the correct DVD for your country.
Note: Your Dealer/Authorised Repairer will
have details of how to order DVD updates.
The navigation DVD provided, contains a
digitised street map. Larger cities and
boroughs are completely covered. The regional
and unclassified roads or access roads and the
town centre for smaller towns and boroughs
are included.
One way streets, pedestrian zones, turn bans
and other traffic regula tions are taken into
account as far as pos sible. There may be
discrepancies between the data on the
navigation DVD and the actual local situation,
due to temporary or permanent changes to
road systems and their traffic regulations.
If the vehicle battery ha s been disconnected, or
if the vehicle has been transported to a new
location on another vehicle (e.g. by trailer or
train), the navigation system may require
several minutes to iden tify the new position.
Errors in vehicle position
Under certain driving condi tions, it is possible
that the vehicle pos ition shown may be
incorrect. Some examples are shown below:
• Negotiating circular ramps in car parks.
• Elevated roads in proximity to other roads.
• Where two roads run parallel to each other.
• Driving on steep roads.
• When the vehicle is transported by ferry or
train.
• After the tyres have been replaced.
• When using snow chains.
• After the vehicle has been rotated on a
turntable.
• After vehicle battery removal or supply
fuse failure.
Reception of GPS signals
GPS signals are high ly directional and
reception may occasiona lly be interrupted.
Some examples of situations likely to cause
problems are shown below:
• Inside buildings
• Forest roads between mountains
• Between tall buildings
• Roads under cliffs.
The vehicle’s direction and speed sensors will
minimise any adverse effect on the operation of
the navigation system, if this should occur.
Normal operation will resume once the
obstruction has been passed.

RDS-TMC OVERVIEW
Radio Data System-Traffic Message Channel
(RDS-TMC) is a feature that announces traffic
hold-ups on your route, as broadcast by radio
stations that transmit TMC information.
Touch the RDS-TMC button on the Navigation
Menu to access the TMC menu.
Touch the Change button - the sy stem begins
a search of all radio stat ions being received in
your locality.
The tuner will scan the FM frequency once and
this may take a few minutes. Searching will be
displayed while sca nning is in progress.
When a station is found which is offering TMC
information, the RDS name is shown on the list
and the search for more stations will continue.
Note: In the United Kingdom the station giving
TMC information is Classic FM.
You can stop the search at any time and select
any stations presented on the list, by touching
the Change button or the button next to the
desired station in the list.
RDS-TMC display
When a TMC signal is received the icon in the
top left of the screen w ill appear gray. If a TMC
signal is not being rece ived, the icon will be
shown with a bar through it.
The system will inform the driver of any
roadworks, narrow road, contraflow,
accidents, slippery road, diversion,
information, parking in formation, congestion
or other hazard. The driver is informed of a traffic event as
follows:
•
A TMC Event icon shown on the map at the
location of the event.
• Text can be displaye d showing the details
of each occurrence wh ich can be selected
either by touching the screen icon or from
the traffic information list.
• Voice guidance will describe the event on
the route. This information will be repeated
when the repeat switch is selected.
• Dynamic route guidance, which calculates
an alternative route when the system
receives the traffic event warning affecting
the route currently set in the navigation
system.
• Traffic event list shows all events sorted by
road name/ distance on your selected
route in a straight line or along your actual
route.
The information rega rding the hold-up is
maintained and updated even if the vehicle
crosses into another country.RDS-TMC icons
Any traffic event (broadcast on TMC) in your
area, will be displayed as a warning icon on the
map and an alert may be displayed as a
message giving the road number(s) and
between which junctions the hold-up or event
occurs. Voice guidance will also inform you of
the hold-up when an event icon exists on the
current route.
This data is stored in the system for up to of 30
minutes.
The colour of the TMC icon changes in order to
show the type and priori ty of a TMC event. The
background colour of the icon returns to
normal when there is no longer an event or
hold-up, or if any re-route instructions are
calculated.
