CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

Safety instructions

A

The use of the navigation radio by no means relieves the driver of his/her responsibili

-

ties. The highway code must always be observed. Always observe the current traffic situa

-

tion.

A

The applicable traffic regulations and the prevailing traffic situation always take prece

-

dence over the instructions issued by the navigation system if they contradict one another.

A

For traffic safety reasons, use the navigation system menus only before starting a jour

-

ney or when the vehicle is stationary.

A

For reasons of safety please ensure that the operating panel is inserted before driving

off and is always flipped up (closed) when driving.

A

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

zones) are not recorded. In areas such as these the navigation system will issue a warning.

Pay particular attention to one-way streets and turn off and entry restrictions.

A

The navigation 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.

A

The current legal road traffic speed limit always takes priority over the values stored

on the data CD. It is impossible to provide an assurance that the speed values of the naviga-

tion system will always match those of the current traffic regulations in every situation.

Always observe the applicable legal speed limits and traffic regulations. The vehicle speed-

ometer must always be given priority for display of the vehicle speed.

A

Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when attempting to locate an emer-

gency service (hospital, fire service, etc.). It cannot be guaranteed that all available emer-

gency services in your vicinity are stored in the database. Use your own discretion and abili-

ties to secure help in such situations.

How does the navigation system work?

The position and movements of the vehicle

are recorded by the navigation system’s

sensors. The distance travelled is deter

-

mined by the vehicle speedometer signal,

rotary motion in bends is detected by a

gyro sensor (inertial compass). The position

is determined via the GPS (Global Posi

-

tioning System) satellites.

The position can be calculated within a

range of approx. 10 m by comparing the

sensor signals with the digital map on the

navigation CD.

Important notes on the function of your navigation radio

In principle, the system is functional with poor GPS reception, although the accuracy of

the positioning may be impaired by poor or interrupted GPS reception or errors can

occur in the determination of the position, which result in incorrect position reporting.

Start-up characteristics

If the vehicle is parked for longer periods of time,

the satellites continue their orbit. After the igni-

tion is switched on, it may take several minutes

until the navigation system receives signals from

sufficient satellites for evaluation.

During the start-up sequence, it is possible that the navigation system will report:

“You are leaving the digitised area”. The navigation system assumes that the vehicle is

not located on a digitised road. If other roads exist in this area, the navigation system

may issue incorrect messages. The navigation system assumes that the vehicle is lo

-

cated on another road.

Comments

After transport of the vehicle by train or ferry, the navigation system may require a

few minutes for exact positioning.

After disconnecting the vehicle battery, up to 15 minutes may be required for exact

positioning. For this, the vehicle must be outdoors and the system must be switched on

in order to receive transmissions from the GPS satellites.

General information

5

The digital road map

To be able to plan a route to a destination address, the navigation system not only re

-

quires the current position of the vehicle but also a digital road map containing the

destination address itself and the roads leading to the destination address. This digital

road map is on the map CD which you insert into the navigation computer.

The road system is stored on the map CD as a line model, i.e. even large junctions have

only one focal point that is approached by all roads in point-to-point fashion. Thus the

navigation system indicates the distance to the turn-off point as the distance to the

centre of the junction. This is why the distances for motorway exits indicated on road

signs may not agree with those of the navigation system. The road signs indicate the

distance to the beginning of the exit.

Areas with limited road information

In some areas, not all of the information on a road is available on the map 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 sys-

tem will display a warning if you drive into such an area. Local traffic laws always take

precedence over navigation system instructions. Always observe the road signs and

motor vehicle traffic regulations.

Topicality of the map CD

Roughly 10 - 15% of the road system characteristics change each year. Due to these

constantly changing traffic conditions (construction of new roads, traffic calming, etc.)

we cannot guarantee that the digital road map will be in 100 % agreement with exist

-

ing traffic conditions. We recommend that you always use the most current version of

the map CD for navigation.

Real road network Digital line model

Route & Sound – Navigating and listening to a CD

With this new generation navigation radio unit, you may insert a map

CD, plan your route, then insert an audio or MP3 CD and the system will

still guide you to your intended destination. The navigation computer

saves the road system in a defined area around the planned route (corri

-

dor) in its main memory. Within this corridor, the map CD does not have to be inserted

in order for the navigation to function. As soon as you leave this corridor, a message

will appear automatically, prompting you to insert the map CD so that the navigation

computer can reload the data required for a new route.

■

What is meant by “corridor”?

The navigation system plans a route and then loads a “belt” around the planned route

(the corridor) as map data from the map CD into the main memory.

■

Functional restrictions in corridor mode

Please note that some navigation system functions are not or are only partially avail

-

able when the map CD (Route & Sound mode) is not inserted (e.g. dynamic route plan

-

ning, alternative route, route selection, traffic info outside of the planned route).

It is only possible to load stored addresses if they are located within the corridor.

Route planning is only possible with roads located within the corridor. Even if a desti

-

nation address is located within the corridor and can be entered as a destination, it

may not be possible to plan a route to that destination. In this case, please insert the

map CD.

TMC traffic information is only available for the map region stored in the corridor.

Travel info and POIs (Points of Interest) can only be called up using the map CD.

Some C-IQ functions (in particular code entry) are only possible when the map CD is in-

serted.

✎

As soon as you insert the map CD, these functions are available again.

■ Leaving the corridor

If you leave the corridor, e.g. if you are not following the planned route, the naviga-

tion system will attempt to guide you back into the corridor. The directional arrow

and the distance to the planned route will be displayed.

If you continue travelling away from the corridor, the navigation system will display

only the directional arrow and the distance to the destination.

In this case, please insert the map CD so that the navigation system can plan a new

route to your destination.

string of characters already entered.

✎

Non-selectable characters are displayed as dots and will be passed over automati

-

cally by the cursor.

Intelligent “typewriter”

When you enter names of cities and roads or special destinations, the system compares

the character string already entered with all database entries on the map CD.

Once you select a character, you will notice that only certain letters remain displayed.

The navigation system automatically completes entries if only one possible entry is

left.

Different input methods

The database allows you to enter the different parts of compound city or road names

in varying sequence.

Thus, you may begin entering “Frankfurt am Main” by inputting “MAIN” or “FRANK-

FURT.”

✎

The input options depend on the map CD inserted. Not all map CDs support this

function.

Entering special characters

✎

The “typewriter” provides the space and the period and, depending upon the lan-

guage selected, certain country-specific accented characters.

If you have set up a system language whereby certain characters are missing for the

city and street names you can also enter the name without special characters (e.g.

“MUNCHEN” instead of “MÜNCHEN”).
