Navigation data
46
First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Important
notes .
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite system for navigation.
The satellite signal allows you to determine your current vehicle position.
If the unit is outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegeta-
tion, in tunnels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions
using on-vehicle sensors.
Navigation is done:
› by graphical instructions in the device screen and Maxi DOT display;
› via voice guidance.
The navigation unit can be operated: › using the buttons on the unit
» page 45;
› using the function keys in the unit screen
» page 45;
› using voice control
» page 14.
› on the MAXI DOT display
» page 13 .
WARNING■
Information about traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and
stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is not
taken into account for navigation by the unit.■
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather conditions.
WARNING (Continued)■ The navigation announcement provided may vary from current situations,
e.g. due to road works or out-of-date navigation data.■
The volume should be adjusted to ensure that acoustic signals from outside,
e.g. sirens from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambu-
lance and fire brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.
CAUTION
In some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the vehicle
is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but complies with the national legal regulations.
