The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
The radio has six station memories
for the AM waveband and twelve
station memories for the FM
waveband.
The integrated audio player will

Notice
This manual describes all options
and features available for the
various Infotainment systems.
Certain descriptions, including those for display and menu functions, may
not apply to your vehicle due to
model variant, country
specifications, special equipment or
accessories.
Important information on
operation and traffic safety9 Warning
The Infotainment system has to be
used so that the vehicle can bedriven safely at all times. If in doubt
Introduction7stop your vehicle and operate theInfotainment system while the
vehicle is stationary.9 Warning
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic.The related traffic
regulations must always be
followed.
Only make entries (e.g. addresses) with the vehicle
stationary.
If a navigation instruction
contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
9 Warning
In some areas one-way streets
and other roads and entrances
(e.g. pedestrian zones) that you
are not allowed to turn into are not
marked on the map.In such areas
the Infotainment system will issue a warning that must be
accepted.Here you must pay
particular attention to one-way
streets, roads and entrances that
you are not allowed to drive into.
Radio reception
Radio reception may be disrupted by
static, noise, distortion or loss of
reception due to
■ changes in distance from the transmitter,
■ multi-path reception due to reflection,
■ shadowing.
Theft-deterrent feature

Notice
Functionality of the Dynamic
navigation settings when route
guidance is active, see "Settings for route calculation and guidance" in
chapter "Guidance" 3 65.
User defined points of interest
In addition to the predefined points of interest (POI) stored on the map SD
card, you can create user defined
POIs that meet your special personal
needs. After creation, such user
defined POIs can be downloaded to
the Infotainment system.
You can create two different types of
user defined POIs:
(1) Destination POIs : POIs that you
can use as destinations for route
guidance.
For each POI you need to define the GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the POI's location
and a descriptive name.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, you will find the
POI name (e.g. "Michaels house") in
the menu for user defined POIs3 48. You can select the regarding
menu item as destination for route
guidance.
(2) POI warnings : POIs that you want
to be warned of ( e.g. very sharp turns
on a road), before reaching the
corresponding location.
For each POI you need to define the
GPS coordinates (longitude and
latitude values) of the POI's location
and a descriptive warning message.
After downloading the POI data to the Infotainment system, and in case
route guidance is active:
When the vehicle approaches the
POI location defined by the GPS
coordinates, the corresponding
warning message (e.g. "Very sharp turn") will be displayed.
Using the menu option POI Warning
Distance in the NAVIGATION
SETUP menu, see above, you can
define, in which distance before
reaching a user defined POI the
related warning message should be
displayed.Creating user defined POIs
For each POI type you need to create
a separate text file, e.g. by using a
simple text editor software.Destination POIs
1. Create a text file with an arbitrary name and the file extension .asc,
e.g. "TomsDestinationPOIs.asc".
2. The POI data need to be entered into the text file in the following
format:
Longitude coordinate, Latitude
coordinate, "Name of POI [ any
comment ]"
Navigation47
Example: 9.9800000,
52.0150000, "Michaels House
[ Fleet Street ]"
Please note, that the text shown
above has to be entered in a
single line, see image above.
3. Get the required GPS coordinates, e.g. from a
topographical map.
The GPS coordinates need to be
expressed in decimal degrees, as shown in the example above.
4. Enter the Longitude and Latitude coordinates into the text file,
separated by a comma and a
space.
5. Enter an arbitrary name for the POI, and, if desired, an optional
comment in square brackets.
The name and comment must be enclosed by quotation marks, and
separated from the GPS
coordinates by a comma and a
space.6. Enter further POI data, using a separate line for each POI, into
the text file, as described above.
7. Store the text file, e.g. on your local hard drive.POI warnings
Create a separate text file with an
arbitrary name and the file
extension .asc, e.g.
"TomsPOIWarnings.asc".
The further operating steps for
creating a text file with POI warnings are the same as described for
destination POIs, see above.
The only difference is: instead of
creating a name (e.g. "Michaels
house") you need to create a warning message (e.g. "Very sharp turn").
Storing the text files on a USB drive 1. In the root directory of a USB drive: create a folder named" myPOIs ", e.g. "F:\myPOIs",
where "F:\" is the root directory of
the USB drive.
2. In the "myPOIs" folder, store the text file with destination POIs,
e.g. "F:\myPOIs
\TomsDestinationPOIs.asc".
3. In the folder "myPOIs" create a subfolder named
" myPOIWarnings ".
4. In that subfolder store the text file with POI warnings, e.g.
"F:\myPOIs\myPOIWarnings
\TomsPOIWarnings.asc"
Downloading the user defined POIs
Connect the USB drive with your user
defined POI data to the USB port
3 31 of the Infotainment system.

Notice
You can only define one single
exclusion street or one exclusion
section at a time in the route list.
To perform the street exclusion:select the Recalculate Route menu
item (first entry in route list).
The route will be recalculated, and
the excluded streets will be
indicated by a black line and a
"Closed road" symbol (see chapter
"Symbols overview" 3 73) on the
map display.
■ Use Road Ahead : cancels the
street exclusion previously
performed via Avoid Road Ahead .
■ Use Road In Route List : cancels the
street exclusion previously
performed via Avoid Road In Route
List .
Adding a waypoint (intermediate destination) to the routeAt any time during active route
guidance you can add a waypoint to
your route.Press the NAV button, and then
select the Destination menu item or
the Previous Destinations menu item.
In the message that is displayed now, select the Add waypoint screen
button.
Enter or select a destination for the
waypoint, see chapter "Destination
input" 3 48.
After adding the desired waypoint, the
navigation system will calculate the
route from the current position to that new intermediate destination, and the
route from the intermediate
destination to the final destination.
The waypoint will be indicated on the
map by a red chequered flag.
After reaching the waypoint, the route
guidance will automatically proceed
with guidance to the final destination.
Notice
For every trip you can set only one
waypoint at a time. If there is a
waypoint already active when
setting a new waypoint, route
guidance to the old waypoint will be
cancelled.Enabling user defined POI
warnings
You can define "POI warnings" for
POIs that you want to be warned of
(e.g. very sharp turns on a road),
before reaching the corresponding
location.
Defining your personal POI warnings,
and downloading them to the
Infotainment system, see chapter
"Usage" 3 37.
Enabling POI warnings:
Press the SETUP button, select the
Navigation menu item, and then set
POI Warning to On.
Dynamic guidance If dynamic route guidance is active,
the entire current traffic situation that the Infotainment system receives via
TMC is included in the calculation of
the route. The route is suggested
taking into account all traffic problems
or restrictions as per preset criteria
(e.g. „shortest route“, „avoid
motorways“ etc.).
