Operating instructions

General information

Operating the system while driving

Allowing yourself to be distracted by the Travel-

Pilot RGN 08 can lead to a situation where you are

“driving blind”.

If you are not paying attention to the current traffic situation around you, you could cause a serious accident.

Please consider the fact that at a speed of 50 km/h you are travelling 14 m every second.

• Before starting off on your journey, make sure you have familiarised yourself with the system.

• While you are driving, only use the voice output and directional symbols on the monitor.

• Stop your vehicle at a suitable location if you wish to re-program the TravelPilot RGN 08 or look up more detailed information.

Route guidance

The current traffic routing situation can differ from the data stored on the CD-ROM.

Due to system limitations, the TravelPilot RGN 08 cannot warn of altered traffic routing conditions e.g. due to road construction measures. If you do not pay attention to the actual traffic routing conditions, there is a danger that you will cause a serious accident. Furthermore, you will be violating road traffic regulations.

• Please ensure that you take notice of signs relating to the current traffic routing situation. As the driver, you are solely responsible for traffic safety.

• Use the latest CD-ROM for the TravelPilot RGN 08 in order to avoid this problem as much as possible right from the start. Ask your dealer for the latest update.

Area of use

The TravelPilot RGN 08 has been designed for use in passenger cars.

The CD-ROM currently does not include any limitations relating to lorries and buses such as height restrictions or maximum permitted loads. If these are disregarded, there is a danger that you will cause an accident.

Furthermore, you will be violating road traffic regulations.

• The TravelPilot RGN 08 can only be used, without any limitations applying, in passenger cars.

Product information

The TravelPilot RGN 08 is an active guidance system for the

Bremen RCM 127 and New York RDM 127 car stereo systems.

Using this system, you can let yourself be guided to your required destination if a navigation CD has been inserted that is valid for your present location and destination in question.

CDs, such as the Merian Scout travel guide and other country-specific CDs, are also available.

4

The guidance system provides audio-visual information.

You will be given precise information over the car stereo loudspeakers with regard to such things as when and where to take the next road turning.

The volume and tone of the voice output can be adjusted.

Directional symbols are used to convey information on the car stereo display screen. Furthermore, the name of the street that the vehicle is presently driving down is displayed as well as the current distance to the destination and the remaining time required to drive there. Prior to taking a turning, the name of the road that is to be turned into is displayed.

If you did not follow a suggested direction, a new route to the destination will be calculated within a few seconds. So, for instance, this means that you can by all means take a “secret route around the houses” that you are familiar with even though the TravelPilot has at the time given you other directions.

The system knows where one-way streets, areas restricted to traffic (e.g. pedestrian precincts, etc.) and no-left or noright turns are situated, and takes these into account when calculating routes for passenger cars.

Delivery

TravelPilot RGN 08

The navigation system comprises a powerful computer with

CD-ROM drive, GPS receiver, GPS antenna and the latest

CD-ROM version.

If you are driving your vehicle down a nondigitised road (e.g. car park, garage, multistorey car park) the OFF ROAD message will be displayed.

If your vehicle is outside the digitised network (e.g. abroad), OFF MAP will be displayed.

In such cases, you can orientate yourself by referring to the arrow shown in the display which indicates the direction in which your destination lies.

After entering the digitised network again from a non-digitised road, the system requires a few minutes of journey time before it can start issuing route recommendations again.

If you should leave the recommended route, the system will calculate a new route to your destination from your current position.

Upon reaching your destination, the display will show a chequered flag together with the DEST. REACHED!

message and a voice announcement will be made: “You have reached your destination”.

Note:

If the destination you entered is not included in the digitised network of streets (e.g.

special destinations such as workshops, etc.), an arrow will appear in the display, as soon as you leave the digitised area, indicating the direction in which your destination lies. The voice output announcement for this is: “You have reached the area of your destination”.

If you are in the immediate vicinity of your destination, the voice output announcement will inform you that: “You have reached your destination”. If the destination you selected (e.g. a stored location) is not situated within the digitised area, you will hear the announcement: “No route guidance is available to your destination”.

JAM AHEAD Using the “ JAM AHEAD ” function, the calculated route can be altered according to the current traffic situation. This means that if you see a problem with the traffic up ahead or you are informed about this over the radio (e.g. a traffic jam or road works), you can exclude certain route sections starting from your current vehicle position.

The route sections that can be excluded refer to the road network that lies ahead of you and your vehicle. Each section comprises the section of road located between two road junctions. The first section that can be excluded comprises the length of road starting from your vehicle and ending at the next junction but one. The navigation system then calculates a new route starting from the next possible turning which, if possible, will bypass the traffic disruption. To call up the traffic jam function, press the upper left function key.

Example:

You have entered a small town and are driving your vehicle between road turning A and turning B. The traffic information you hear on the radio informs you that there is a disruption to traffic between turning C and D.

When you switch off your vehicle’s ignition, you also switch off the TravelPilot. When the system is switched back on, you must re-activate route guidance. To put route guidance on standby, you can enter a standby time. During this standby time, the route guidance in progress will remain stored. When your vehicle is re-started, route guidance will resume functioning immediately and continue automatically as if it hadn’t been interrupted.

Select the standby time by pressing

-TIME

and

TIME+

and set it.

The standby time can be set to a maximum of 30 minutes!

Demo mode

Guide for operating the system when installed in a shop display panel:

If the RGN 08 is to be operated in demo mode while installed in a demo wall (e.g. in a shop display), a minimum calibration must be carried out. Open the auxiliary menu by pressing the AUX key and then press the 9, 5, 7 function keys one after another. After approx. 8 seconds, the service menu will appear. Press the

rocker switch until the selection arrow v

points to

Navigation and then switch back to the auxiliary menu by pressing the S key twice.

To run the demo mode, proceed as follows:

1. Select DEMO from the DSC menu. The demo mode menu will then appear.

If ON is selected, the route will be travelled along only once and will then stop. A new destination must then be entered and route guidance must be restarted.

If CONTINUOUS is selected, the demo will run in a continuous loop, i.e. it will continue to repeat the route from the starting point to the destination.

2. After selecting one of these menu items, the system will be restarted.

3. After the system has restarted, select POSITION from the DSC menu and, as described in the Chapter entitled “Example for entering a destination”, select a town, a street and the appropriate crossing.

After entering the address, press the SET POSITION function key.

4. Now the distance to the crossing has to be set. It is recommended that the position be set using -M and M+ to 50 METRES

AHEAD .

5. Next select the

SET

function key.

6. Now enter a destination in the usual manner and start route guidance. After the route has been calculated, the demo will run automatically. While in demo mode, all functions can be operated as if the unit were operating under real conditions.

7. The system can be made to return to normal navigation mode by selecting

OFF

in the demo mode menu. The navigation computer will then restart and will return to the main navigation menu.

Appendix

CD-ROM

The data required for route guidance are stored digitally on the CD-ROM.

For details on the exact contents of the CD, please refer to the information accompanying it.

Changing the CD

The CD-ROM can only be changed whilst the vehicle is stationary. The system must be switched on. To eject a CD-ROM, slide the locking lever to the left. The CD-ROM will then be ejected. While the CD is being ejected, the locking lever must not be slid back to the right. Carefully insert the new navigation CD-ROM – with its label facing uppermost – as far into the CD slot as necessary until the CD-ROM player begins to draw the CD in by itself. After the CD has been drawn in completely, slide the locking lever back to the right again.

Note:

After changing the CD, the system will, if necessary, automatically reload the language. Loading the language usually takes approx. 30 seconds.

Wrong CD-ROM

If the wrong CD-ROM is inserted into the navigation computer, the following error message will appear: “

PLEASE CHECK CD-ROM!

”. If this is the case, remove the incorrect CD-ROM and replace it with the correct one.

For technical reasons this error message will also appear if the maximum permitted temperature is exceeded while the unit is operating. Let the unit continue running until the internal ventilation fan has cooled the computer down to its normal operating temperature. When this has been achieved, the computer will automatically start up again and the main navigation menu will appear.

Tyre change and calibration

When changing the vehicle’s tyres from summer to winter tyres and back again, errors in distance measurements may arise (in particular if using wheel sensors). If, after a tyre change, the resulting distance errors negatively influence the system’s navigation behaviour, the system will need to be re-calibrated. Please consult a TravelPilot dealer with regard to this. Normal tyre wear is automatically taken into account by the system.

Caution: If calibration is incorrect, this can lead to a malfunctioning of the system. If in doubt, please consult a TravelPilot dealer.

PLEASE

CHECK

CD-ROM!

Error messages

If one of the listed error messages appears in the top line of the display while the unit is in operation, please consult your service workshop.

Possible error messages:

• Check calibration

• Check travel sensor

• Check GPS antenna

• Defective GPS receiver

• Check GYRO

CD read error

This error appears if the data could not be read correctly from the CD-ROM

(e.g. due to strong vibrations or a damaged CD-ROM). If the error message does not disappear, the navigation computer must be checked and tested at a service point.

Subject to modification!
