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 provide guidance to the destination. Please note
that under these circumstance s the guidance to the destination may not be completely
correct if, for example, one-way 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 situations
permit this and you are not distracted.
•
The various volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible
signals from the outside, such 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 situations,
e.g. due to road works or out of date navigation data.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 recommendations.
•
Traffic signs and traffic regulations always have priority over the driving
recommendations provided by the navigation system.
•
Route guidance is subject to consta nt 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 stopping
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,
for example, the radio navigation system to make you drive faster in fog - risk
of accident!
GeneralYou can continue to listen to the radio or play CDs during the route guidance
When entering an address (city, street), on ly those letters or symbols which make up a
logical entry will be presented. A list of poss ible 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 reco mmendation can be changed whilst it is
being made.
