Explanation of symbols

The following symbols are used in this manual:

This symbol is used to indicate safety instructions and warnings.

These contain important information for the safe use of the unit.

Failure to observe this information may result in a risk of damage

or injury. Therefore, please observe this information with

particular care.

Identifies an action to be performed.

Identifies useful tips and information for the operation of the

system.

•

A bullet before the text identifies an enumeration.

Text in quotation marks identifies a screen menu option.

For your safety!

The use of the navigation system by no means relieves the driver of

his/her responsibilities. Always observe the applicable traffic regulations

and take the current traffic conditions into consideration. You always

have priority over the information provided by the navigation system if

the actual traffic situation and the information from the navigation

system conflict.

The system does not take the relative safety of the suggested routes

into consideration. Road blocks, building sites, height or weight

restrictions, traffic or weather conditions or other influences which

affect the route safety or travel time are not taken into consideration

for the suggested routes. Use your own discretion in order to decide on

the suitability of the suggested routes. Use the “Alternative Route”

function to receive better routing suggestions, or simply follow your

preferred route and the automatic routing recalculation will plan the

route for the remainder of your journey.

In the interests of road safety, only perform inputs to the navigation

system and the phone prior to commencing your journey or when the

vehicle is stationary.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The current statutory speed limit on the road always takes priority over

the values stored on the data CD/DVD. It is impossible to provide an

assurance that the speed values of the navigation system will always

match those of the current traffic regulations in every situation.

In certain areas one-way streets, turn off and entry restrictions (e.g. to

pedestrian zones) have not been surveyed. In areas such as these the

navigation system will issue a warning. Pay particular attention to

one-way streets, turn off and entry restrictions.

Please make certain that all persons using your multimedia system have

access to this manual, and that they read the instructions and suggestions

for the use of the system prior to using it.

If your screen is installed on a flexible support, adjust it so that you can

see the screen contents quickly and easily, and reflections and dazzle or

glare are avoided. Find a suitable spot to stop the vehicle prior to

performing adjustments.

If your monitor is installed on a fixed support, check that your dealer

has installed it in accordance with the above recommendations. The

screen must not be installed in a position where it obstructs the view of

any items necessary for the safe operation of the vehicle (e.g. road,

mirrors, instruments, surroundings). In addition, the monitor may not

be installed within deployment range of the airbag.

Only look at the monitor if it is safe to do so. Find a suitable place to

stop should you need to look at the screen for a longer period of time.

Always store the remote control in a safe place.

The values displayed on the system’s “Trip computer” giving the current

speed, driving time and the elapsed distance, are calculated values.

Accuracy cannot always be guaranteed. In the case of speed, the vehicle

speedometer must always be given priority.

Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when attempting to

locate an emergency service (police, fire service, etc.). It cannot be

guaranteed that all available emergency services in your vicinity are

stored in the database. Use your own discretion and abilities to secure

help in such situations.

Making a phone call while driving can greatly reduce your level of

awareness and distract you from the traffic situation. In order to avoid

endangering the occupants and other road users, the driver should not

make phone calls while driving. Observe the local regulations relating

to making phone calls in the vehicle.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Switch off the telephone at petrol stations, chemical plants, fuel depots

or similar facilities, or leave it switched off.

Operation of the telephone can cause malfunction of medical

equipment in the vicinity of the GSM antenna, such as pacemakers or

hearing aids.

Do not touch the GSM antenna during a call.

Important – the correct system software!

As of spring 2004 software version MO 5595 will be available for your

navigation system. This version must be loaded onto your system if you

wish to use the map CD/DVD 2004/2. If your system does not show the

correct version, please contact your dealer or the C-IQ Service Centre

(00800 99 33 33 33). To find out which version of the software is installed

on your system proceed as follows:

Select “System config.” under “Settings”, and press the OK key.

Now select “Configuration”, and press the OK key. Now select the

“SW Number:” option. It must be 0950 or higher.

Maintenance and care

Do not use cleaning fluid, alcohol or other solvents. A damp cloth is best

suited.

Functions of your navigation system

By buying this Multimedia System you have purchased a

high-performance instrument which has been designed to assist drivers in

daily traffic. Simply enter the destination prior to setting off, activate

“Guidance” and you are ready to go. The navigation system will provide

driving instructions in audible and visual form. With the mobile phone

connected, you increase the safety and ease with which calls can be made

from within the vehicle. The system is simple to use, because of the small

number of operating elements and its clear menu structure.

Range of functions

Some of the functions described in this manual are only to be used in

conjunction with optional accessories. It may also be that use cannot be

made of certain functions in some countries because the data has not

been surveyed. Due to the large range of functions a conscious decision

was taken not to allow all the settings to be used in any combination in

the interests of ensuring ease of use and functionality.

GENERAL INFORMATION

System expansion

In conjunction with a TMC expansion, the system will show the current

traffic situation along your route, and will guide you around road

obstructions if desired. Numerous system expansions are available to

upgrade to an information and entertainment system.

Distance indications

On main roads, the distances to exits indicated by the system deviate from

those on road signs. The road signs on main roads refer to the start of the

exit, while the navigation system always indicates the distance to the end

of the slip road. This is the point where the driving lanes fork (separate).

Operating restrictions (country-specific)

If a symbol depicting a crossed out hand appears in the bottom status line

it means that only limited operating options are available whilst driving.

Whether or not this function is activated will depend upon the prevailing

national regulations.

GPS reception

The system has been designed to remain operational even when there is

poor GPS reception. However, positional accuracy may be impaired.

Start-up characteristics

If the vehicle has been parked for some time, the satellites will have

continued on their orbits. As a result, once the ignition has been switched

on, it may take several minutes before a sufficient number of satellites

are being received and the system can start analysing their signals.

Adequate reception (three-dimensional position) is indicated by the black

satellite symbol on the display. The satellite symbol remains red if GPS

reception is inadequate.

During the start-up process, the navigation system may report the

message: “Please proceed to the planned route”. The system assumes that

the vehicle is located off a stored road. If other roads exist in this area,

the navigation system may issue incorrect messages. The system assumes

that the vehicle is located on a different road.

Automatic route re-calculation

If you do not follow the instructions of the system, the system will

automatically plan a new route.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Areas with limited road information

In some areas, not all road information may be available on the map

DVD/CD. Thus, for example, turn-off prohibitions, information on the

direction of travel in a one-way street or prohibited entry into a

pedestrian zone may be missing. The navigation system will display a

warning if you drive into such an area.

Information concerning the functions of the navigation system can be

found on the internet at www.vdodayton.de.

Switching on / off

The multimedia system is switched on and off along with the ignition. If

the system was not switched to stand-by prior to switching off, a title

screen will be displayed. This is followed by information on how to

operate the system. Confirm this by pressing the OK key. After a few

seconds, the system will be functional.

Remote control

If you wish to use the remote control outside the cradle, batteries will be

required and these will have to be replaced if the system no longer

responds when the buttons are pressed or if the battery symbol appears

in the status line. Please remember that the remote control must not be

exposed to direct sunlight if batteries have been inserted. The system can

always be used whenever the remote control is inside its wired cradle; for

this no batteries are required.

Some buttons and keys have two functions, which are activated

respectively either by pressing them briefly for less than a second or by

pressing and holding them down for more than a second.

Depending on the scope of supply, various remote controls might be

used. Full functionality can only be ensured if the correct remote control

is activated. To do this, select “Remote control” under “Settings” and

activate the desired remote control by pressing the OK key.

Prepaid C-IQ

You can purchase country maps for navigation and/or travel info products

(e.g. hotel and restaurant guides) at a flat rate and in advance for use on

a daily basis, but without having to specify the actual days concerned.

This means that you can always have the correct data at your fingertips

for making short trips abroad or taking a weekend trip. With the

“prepaid” service the information must be activated on the calendar day

on which it is to be used. Once you have purchased your prepaid days

from the C-IQ Service (www.C-IQ.net or 00800 99 33 33 33) they can be

activated in the navigation system in the normal manner by means of an

access code. Please ensure that the corresponding map CD/DVD has been

inserted. For more detailed information concerning this option contact

GENERAL INFORMATION

Activate the Traffic Info option if you wish to be automatically routed

around road obstructions (see also section TMC traffic information and

Dynamic route in this chapter). If traffic information is not activated, the

system will suggest detours. The driver must confirm these manually.

The route criteria can also be changed in the “Navigation” menu under

“Route criteria”.

Dynamic route

With the integration of the TMC traffic information (see also chapter TMC

traffic information) you have the option of specifying criteria for the

system which influence the automatic detour of road obstructions.

Settings in the “Dynamic route” menu can only be made if the “Traffic

Info” option under “Route criteria” has been activated.

•

Re-routing level defines whether or not the system will plan a detour.

Numerous factors are integrated into the decision process. These

include, for example, the conditions on the alternate route, such as the

road category or the number of townships to be driven through. The

probability of high traffic density on the alternate route also plays a

part. Five levels are available. The lowest level means that, depending

on the conditions, the original route with the stationary traffic can

often be given preference. If the highest level is selected, an alternate

route is always planned.

•

Traffic horizon: the maximum distance that will be considered for a

detour suggestion around road obstructions.

•

Entire delay: takes into account the maximum delay the driver will

accept before he is willing to receive a detour suggestion.

•

Automatic mode: will automatically route you around stationary traffic.

There will be no further prompting of the driver.
