A WARNING
-The demands of traffic require your fu ll at­
tention. Always read the chapter
~ page 155, Traffic safety information.
- Obey all traff ic laws when driving.
- The route calculated by the navigation sys- tem is a recommendation for reaching your destination. Obey traffic lights, stopping re­
strictions, one-way streets, lane change re­
strictions, etc.
{Q) Note
- If the dr iving directions conflict with traff ic
laws, obey the traffic laws.
- To reduce the risk of an accident, adjust the
volume of the navigation system so that sig­ nals from outs ide the veh icle, such as police
and fire s irens, can be heard easily at all
t imes.
@ Tips
- Snow and obstruct ions on the GPS antenna
or interference caused by trees and large
buildi ngs can impair satellite reception and
affect the sys tem's ability to dete rmine the
vehicle pos ition. Several deactivated or ma l­
functioning satellites can also inter rupt GPS
reception and affect the system's ability to
determine the vehicle position.
- Because street names sometimes change, the names stored in the MMI may in rare cases differ from the actual street name .
