CD to jump
Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation
When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD drive (con-
densate). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such cases,
wait until the moisture has dissipated.
Notes for the care of the CDs
If a CD is soiled, never clean the CD with circular movements but rather from the
inside to the outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt we
recommend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in thiscase, do not clean the CD with circular movements but rather from the inside to
the outside, and then let it dry.
WARNINGThe CD player is a class 1 laser device. Opening the CD player produces a risk
of injury through non-visible laser radiation.

fore the CD is ejected. During this time the lock in front of the CD case is open. Be
sure to wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a new CD.■
If the CD has mechanical damage or is incorrectly or not fully inserted, the fol-
lowing message appears on the screen “ Error: CD”. Check the CD and insert in
properly into the drive. if the message “ Error: CD” appears, try using another CD
and visit a specialist garage

The following appears automatically after you insert the memory card: Assign -
assigns the memory card to the radio navigation system. For licensing reasons,
the memory card is assigned to your radio navigation system and cannot be used
in a different radio navigation system.
■ Use SD
- use the navigation data directly from the memory card. If you want to
use navigation data from other regions which differs from the data stored in the memory of the radio navigation system, you can also use data directly from the
memory card for guidance. This means you have two different sets of naviga-
tion data at your disposal. This means it is not necessary to copy the navigation
data from the memory card to the memory of the radio navigation system.
■ Install
- copies the navigation data from the memory card to the internal memo-
ry of the radio navigation system. The “old” navigation data in the internal mem-
ory of the radio navigation system are deleted. Data cannot be recovered once deleted »
.
No navigation data is available during copying. The copy process takes around 2
hours.
Do not remove the memory card during the process of copying data from the
memory card to the internal memory of the radio navigation system! You can
damage the memory card!
Manual copying
If you insert the memory card with valid navigation data but the copy process
does notstart automatically, you can start it manually.

Dynamic route guidance with TMC use
Requirements for a dynamic route guidance
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data service for continuous trans-
mission of traffic information.
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. Received TMC traffic reports are shown in a list » page 24, Displaying TMC traffic reports .
The quality of the transmitted traffic reports depends on the traffic editing car- ried out by the radio station. The reception of the TMC traffic reports cannot be
switched on or off.
The station you are listening to does not have to be a TMC station.
When the function Dynamic Route » page 20
, Settings in the (NAV) Navigation
mode is activated and the radio navigation system calculates a time advantage
for driving around the traffic disruption along the route, an alternative route is
calculated automatically.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and displayed by the unit if the naviga-
tion data for the currently driven area is stored in the unit's memory or can be re-
trieved from an inserted navigation DVD.
The current TMC traffic reports can be displayed by pressing the range selectorkey TMC
.
Traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are displayed in the map
by means of a coloured symbol. Traffic problems, which do not affect the route,
are displayed in the map by means of a grey symbol. The positioning of the TMC
symbol shows the beginning of a traffic disruption and the direction, when the
TMC traffic report is able to clearly define both.
When the function Dynamic Route » page 20, Settings in the (NAV) Navigation
mode is activated and the radio navigation system calculates a time advantage
for driving around the traffic disruption along the route, an alternative route is
calculated automatically.
When recalculating the route, a corresponding navigation announcement is out-
put. The same announcement is made when there was a traffic disruption in the
original route calculation which has since been removed.
Note
■ Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.■
If a traffic disruption was not yet entered via the TMC traffic reports, route dis-
ruptions can also be entered manually » page 22, Manually blocking a stretch of
the route .
