CONTENTS

For your safety!

A

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.

A

For the sake of traffic safety, perform inputs to the navigation system only prior to the trip or when the vehicle is stationary.

A

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.

OPERATION SETUP

A

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.

A

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.

A

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.

INSTALLATION

A

The current legal road traffic speed limit always takes priority over the values stored on the navigation SD card. 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.

A

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.

A

Please make certain that all persons using your multimedia system have access to this manual, and that they read the instructions and suggestions concerning system operation prior to use.

TMC traffic information

Your navigation system receives traffic information via its integrated Dynamic TMC Receiver, which is then used for the dynamic route planning.

You can also collect information about the current traffic situation, either as a text message or in the map display.

To be able to use this TMC information, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

❑ The TMC data are supported by the selected database on the navigation

SD card in this region.

❑ TMC traffic information is broadcast in this region.

❑ You have activated any TMC messages which you would like to have displayed or taken into account under “Message selection” in the “Info” or “Settings” menu.

OPERATION SETUP INSTALLATION

You can see the TMC status in the status line on the screen*:

❑ “TMC” green: TMC information is available. Alternatively, the name of the provider (TMC provider) may be displayed.

❑ “TMC” black: No TMC data for the region available on the inserted navigation SD card.

❑ “TMC” red: TMC reception distorted/no

TMC transmitter set.

* The display of “TMC” must be activated in the status line. Refer to the “Settings” section,

page 21.

■

TMC products subject to a fee

(Pay TMC)*

✎

In the case of urgent traffic messages within a radius of 50 km of the vehicle’s current position, a special message appears on the screen (e.g. vehicle on wrong carriageway). This message can be hidden by confirming with the OK button. In addition, this information is provided as an audible message.

✎

Road obstructions on the route are only displayed when the guidance function is activated.

Dynamic Route Planning –

DRP

With the help of the TMC traffic information, the dynamic route planning – DRP – integrates the entire traffic situation in an adjustable radius (traffic horizon) around the current position into its calculation of the route. If a traffic obstruction (e.g. stationary traffic) is reported via TMC for the planned route, the navigation system will analyse the information and calculate the anticipated delay.

If there is a traffic problem on the planned route, you will be informed of this by the navigation system and may decide whether the system should take a detour by changing the route in order to avoid the segment concerned or whether it would be more sensible just to drive through the problem.

The basis for the possible delay due to a traffic obstruction and calculated by the navigation system is data that the system receives via the currently selected TMC station. The actual delay may deviate from the calculation.

17

CONTENTS

If you have activated the automatic mode, the system automatically plans the route so that you are guided extensively around the road obstructions without the system issuing a message.

During guidance, the system checks continuously on the basis of the traffic information whether there is a better route for route guidance and a new route is sometimes calculated, for example, if a traffic jam has disappeared.

Depending on the setting in the dynamic route planning, there are two different types of detour:

■

Extensive detour

(with activated DRP only)

As soon as the navigation system has received information about one or more traffic obstructions via RDS-TMC that would mean a relatively long delay for navigation to your destination, the system offers you the option well in advance of detouring the traffic obstructions extensively.

✎

The criteria that influence a new planning of the route (re-routing level, traffic horizon and entire delay) can be set under

“Settings –> Dynamic route”.

✎

It is possible to replan the route manually at any time in light of the current traffic situation with the “Plan new route” menu item on the guidance screen.

OPERATION SETUP

■

Local detour

(with deactivated DRP only)

With the local detour, it is possible to bypass the next traffic obstruction ahead which is announced by TMC.

As soon as you have arrived up to approx.

50 km from the road obstruction, you will receive an appropriate message.

✎

With the “Local detour” menu item on the guidance screen, you can bypass the imminent road obstruction if required.
