General information 5
But you should only operate the navigation system with its wide range of
possibilities when the traffic situation allows.
The volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible signals from the
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire
brigade), can be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are
fully responsible for road safety. Only use the functions in such a way that
you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!
Before using the navigation system
• Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
• Street and location names can be changed. It is therefore possible that the
names stored on the CD might not correspond to the changed names.
• The route calculated by the navigation system is a recommendation for
reaching the intended destination. While driving please pay attention to stopping
restrictions, traffic lights, one-way streets, lane change restrictions, canals and
ferries.
WARNING
Road traffic legislation (StVO) applies at all times, even if a driving recom-
mendation contradicts the StVO.
Caution
• Inserting a second CD while a CD is being ejected can destroy the CD drive in
the unit. Please note that the CD ejection lasts a few seconds after pressing the
Eject button . During this time the lock in front of the CD case is open. It is
essential that you wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a
new CD.
• Press the buttons and the keys of the unit gently in order to avoid damaging
them. Gentle pressure on the appropriate key is sufficient to operate the unit.
Please note that the control buttons have predetermined breaking points, in order
to reduce the risk of injury.
• Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects to operate the touch-screen.
Slight finger pressure sufficient to operate the equipment. A display on the screen,
which cannot be called up by pressing the button, is therefore not available at that
time.
• Please note that a dirty or scratched navigation CD can considerably impair the
speed and the functions of the navigation system.
Screen care
Treat the screen with great care, because dents and scratches can occur through
finger pressure or contact with sharp objects.
The screen can be cleaned with a soft cloth and finger marks can be wiped away
with pure alcohol.
Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or petrol as they will attack the screen
surface.
Anti-theft protection
The anti-theft coding of your navigation system prevents an operation of
the system after a voltage interruption, e.g. during a vehicle repair or after
theft. After disconnecting the battery, disconnecting the navigation
system from the on-board voltage of the vehicle and after a fuse failure,
the code must be entered before the vehicle can be used again.
