Navigation system
Vehicle Equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national and
s pe cial e qu ip me nt provid ed in the mode l se rie s .
Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is
also described, for example the selected special
equipment or national version. That also applies
to safety-relevant functions and systems.
General
The navigation system can determine the pre-
c is e p o s it ion of th e ve h ic le b y m e a n s o f s a te llite s
and vehicle sensors and guide you reliably to any
s pe cifie d de s tination.
Navigation data is saved in the vehicle and can
be updated.
Note
Inputs when the vehicle is stationary
Only enter data when the car is stationary,
and always obey the traffic regulations and road
signs in the event of any contradiction between
the traffic situation and the instructions given by
the navigation system. You could otherwise
commit an offence and put vehicle occupants
and other road users at risk.

General
Traffic information from radio stations sending
a traffic warning service on the Traffic Message
Channe l, TMC, is s hown in the m ap vie w and

on traffic obstructions and dangers is continu-

The symbol in the function bar of the map

cerns the calculated route and the expected de-
lay is less than 20 minutes. The symbol turns red
if the e xpe cte d d elay is m ore than 2 0 minute s o r
the route is blocked or there is a danger mes-
sage for the route.
The symbol shows that there are suitable di-

Real-Time Traffic Information, RTTI
In some countries additional bookable services
s e n d re al- tim e tra ffic info rm a tion , RTTI, which is
then used and shown instead of traffic informa-
tion from the radio station.
The locatio n of traffic obs truc tions is s pe cifie d
more comprehensively and precisely with real-
time traffic information. In addition, the traffic
situation off the motorways, for example, on side
streets and urban roads, is extensively recorded
and shown. Diversion recommendations can be
calculated more precisely on the basis of this
information. This lowe rs the ris k of c o m ing
across another traffic obstruction on diversions.
Several recommended diversions or further in-
formation may be provided.

Notes
CD/DVD player and changer
Do not remove the cover
All BMW CD/DVD players and changers
are Class 1 laser products. Do not operate when
the cover is damaged, otherwise it could cause
severe eye injuries.
CDs and DVDs
Using CDs/DVDs
Do not use CDs/DVDs with adhesive
labels that have been affixed subse-
que ntly, a s the s e m ay p e el off while in
the drive as a result of the tempera-
tures to which these media are ex-
posed during playing. This could dam-
age the system irreparably.
Use only round CDs/DVDs with a standard
diameter of 12 cm and do not use CDs/DVDs
in conjunction with adapters, for example
CD singles. Otherwise the CDs or the
adapter could jam and be impossible to
eject.
Do not use combined CD/DVDs, for example
DVD Plus, as otherwise the CD/DVD could
jam and be impossible to eject.
General malfunctions
The CD/DVD players and changers have
been optimised for operation in your vehicle.
In some instances, they may be more sen-
sitive to faulty CDs/DVDs than devices for
stationary use.
If a CD/DVD cannot be played back, first
check whether it has been inserted cor-
rectly.
Atmospheric humidity
The CD/DVD or the focussing lens can carry
condensation due to high humidity and playback
may temporarily not be possible.
Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs
If malfunctions occur only with individual CDs/
DVDs, this can be due to one of the following:
Self-recorded CDs/DVDs
With self-recorded CDs/DVDs, possible
caus es includ e incons is te nt data-c re ation
or burning process, low quality or high age
of the CD/DVD blank.
