NAV mode (Navigation)
Overview
Before using the navigation system Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
Street and location names can be changed. It is therefore possible under excep-
tional circumstances that the names stored in the navigation data might not cor-
respond to the changed names.
The route calculated by the navigation system is a recommendation for reaching
the intended destination. While driving please pay attention to stopping restric-
tions, traffic lights, one-way streets, lane changes, bodies of water and ferries,
railways etc. Ð
Operating the navigation system Only if the traffic situation allows it should you operate the navigation system
with its wide range of possibilities.
Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirens from
vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and fire brigade
vehicles, can be heard at all time.
Ð
Safety information regarding the use of the navigation system The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommenda-
tions 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, un-
derpass 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 naviga-
tion DVD, the navigation system will try to provide guidance to the destination.
Please note that under these circumstances 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 naviga-
tion data used. WARNING
● Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! If the driver's atten-
tion is distracted, this can lead to accidents and injuries. As the driver you are
fully responsible for safety. Only use the functions of the radio in such a way
that you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!
● The following must always have priority over the driving recommenda-
tions:
–the road traffic legislation, even if the driving recommendations contra-
dict the StVO,
– the actual acknowledgement of traffic signs, light signals or signs
placed by the police at the relevant location,
– the facts and circumstances prevailing at the relevant location.
● Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations always have priority over the driving
recommendations provided by the navigation system.
● Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to information
relating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored in the navigation da-
ta. 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 in-
cluded in the navigation system.
● Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not al-
low, for example, the navigation system to make you drive faster in fog - risk
of accident!
● Only if the traffic situation allows it should you operate the navigation sys-
tem with its wide range of possibilities.
● 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. Ð31
