Attention!
Only use this system when it is safe to do so. It is more important to
keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
Due to constantly changing traffic conditions, we unfortunately
cannot guarantee 100 % precision under all circumstances.

Attention !
N’utilisez le système que si vous ne mettez pas en danger votre vie ou
celle des autres usagers de la route. Il est plus important de surveiller
le trafic routier et d’avoir les mains sur le volant que de lire les
informations apparaissant sur l’écran.
Étant donné que le sens de circulation a pu être changé entre temps,
nous ne pouvons pas vous garantir une exactitude à 100 % des
indications données.

Achtung!
Benutzen Sie das System nur, wenn die Sicherheit es zuläßt. Es ist
wichtiger, auf den Verkehr zu achten und die Hände am Lenkrad zu
lassen.
Aufgrund sich ständig ändernder Verkehrsführungen kann leider
keine 100 %ige Genauigkeit unter allen Umständen gewährleistet
werden.

Belangrijk!
Gebruik het systeem uitsluitend, als de veiligheid het toelaat. Het is belangrijker om op het verkeer te letten en de handen aan het stuur te houden.
Op grond van voortdurend veranderende verkeerssituaties kan helaas
geen 100 % nauwkeurigheid onder alle omstandigheden worden gegarandeerd.

Attenzione!
Usare questo sistema solo se il traffico lo ammette. E´ importante
tenere d´occhio la strada e le mani sul volante.
A causa dei cambiamenti continui della viabilità non si può garantire
una precisione assoluta in tutte le circostanze.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Notes on operating instructions
The following reading aids are used to simplify these operating instructions:
☞ requests you to perform an action.
: shows the unit’s reaction.
✎ provides additional information
– identifies a list.

Safety instructions and warnings contain important information for the safe use of the
unit. Failure to observe this information may result in a risk of damage or injury. Therefore,
please observe this information with particular care.

Class 1 laser product
CAUTION: Any inappropriate use of the device may
expose the user to invisible laser rays which exceed
the limits for Class 1 laser products.

CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT

Theft protection
The system has the following safety functions to prevent theft:

Security code
The navigation radio can be protected against theft with a security code. The unit is
disabled as soon as it is disconnected from the voltage supply (e.g. if it is stolen). It can
only be reactivated by entering the security correct code.
The security code can be activated/deactivated and changed. For further information
see “INITIALISATION”, option “Security Code” ➽ page 38.

Anti-theft protection LED
When the navigation radio is switched off and the and the ignition key removed, the
red anti-theft protection LED above the POWER/VOLUME knob flashes.
The anti-theft LED is linked to the security code. It will not flash if the security code
has been deactivated.

Safety sticker

☞

Affix the safety stickers provided to the vehicle windows so that they are clearly visible.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Safety instructions

The use of the navigation radio by no means relieves the driver of his/her
responsibilities. The highway code must always be observed. Always observe the current
traffic situation.

The applicable traffic regulations and the prevailing traffic situation always take
precedence over the instructions issued by the navigation system if they contradict one
another.

For traffic safety reasons, use the navigation system menus only before starting a
journey or when the vehicle is stationary.

For reasons of safety please ensure that the operating panel is always flipped up
(closed) when driving.

In certain areas, one-way streets, 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, turn off and entry restrictions.

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.

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
navigation system will always match those of the current traffic regulations in every
situation.
Always observe the relevant legal speed limits and traffic regulations. The vehicle
speedometer must always be given priority for display of the vehicle speed.

Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when attempting to locate an
emergency service (hospital, 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.

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 determined
by the vehicle speedometer signal, rotary
motion in curves is detected by a gyro sensor
(inertial compass). The position is determined
via the GPS (Global Positioning 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
ignition 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
located outside a digitised area. If other roads exist in this area, the navigation system
may issue incorrect messages. The navigation system assumes that the vehicle is located
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.

English

GENERAL INFORMATION

The digital road map
To be able to plan a route to a destination address, the navigation system not only
requires 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.

Real road network

Digital line model

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 indicated on main 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
system 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
existing traffic conditions. We recommend that you always use the most current
version of the map CD for navigation.

English

GENERAL INFORMATION

Route & Sound - Navigating and listening to an
audio CD
With the new generation of our navigation radio units, you may insert
a map CD, plan your route, then insert an audio 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
(corridor) 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.
■ Expanded Route & Sound function
What is meant here is destination input without a map CD. If the new destination is
within the range of the map section (corridor) stored in the main memory, it is
possible to enter a new destination without the map CD.
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 only partially available
when the map CD (corridor mode) is not inserted.
In this event, the menu options appear grey (e.g. Alternative route, Route selection,
Traffic info away from 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
destination 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 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
inserted.
✎ 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
navigation system will attempt to guide you back into the corridor. The directional
arrow and the distance to the planned route will be displayed.
When leaving the corridor (more than approx. 3 km), 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

RDS (Radio Data System)
Many FM stations transmit RDS information. The navigation radio evaluates the RDS
telegram and offers the following advantages:
– PS (Program Service Name): Display of station name,
– PTY (Program TYpe): Station selection by program type, ➽ page 31
– AF (Alternative Frequency): Automatic re-tuning to best alternative frequency,
– TA (Traffic Announcement): Traffic announcements , ➽ page 25
– EON (Enhanced Other Networks): Automatic fading in of traffic announcements on
other stations, ➽ page 26
– NEWS: Fading in of messages and items of news, ➽ page 25
– TMC (Traffic Message Channel): Traffic information for dynamic navigation,
➽ page 25

Notes on audio CDs
You can play 12 cm audio CDs on your CD player. The use of 8 cm CDs (with or without
adapter) and of CDs with irregular shapes is not recommended.

Notes on map CDs
The navigation system is based on a C-IQ database, which is stored on a CD in encrypted
format. The CD contains map data for navigation as well as travel and traffic
information (TMC) for dynamic route planning. You can customise your navigation
package by activating specific components of the database.
For further information see “C-IQ - INTELLIGENT CONTENT ON DEMAND”, ➽ page 39.

Support of compressed map data
As of version 2004/02, the map and travel info content is compressed on the map CDs
in order to make further useful C-IQ content available to you.
✎ The new map CDs can then only be read using this operating software version or
higher.

Handling CDs
Avoid leaving fingerprints on the CD when
removing it.
Always store map and audio CDs in their protective
covers.
Always ensure that CDs are clean and dry before
inserting.
Protect CDs from heat and direct sunlight.

Notes: Many vehicles are equipped with a digital speedometer signal on one of the
radio connectors. Notes on vehicle-specific information regarding the speedometer
signal and the above-mentioned accessories can be obtained from your installation
service or from our Customer Help Desk.
Operation of the navigation system is possible without a speedometer signal.
However, in the absence of a speedometer signal the following functional restrictions
may arise:
– Inaccurate navigation
– Inaccurate or invalid information in trip computer
– Limitations with regard to SDVC (speed-dependent volume control)
If your vehicle is not equipped to produce a digital speedometer signal, an optional
speed sensor can be installed. This is available as an accessory from your installation
service.
Mechanical speedometer
A digital speedometer signal can be obtained through the installation of a VDO
X39-397-106-191 speed sensor in the speedometer drive shaft.
CAN bus
In many vehicles, speed, reversing and light information can be read out from the
vehicle’s CAN bus and converted into the appropriate signals for the navigation system
using an adapter.
Universal installation
If none of the above-mentioned options are possible, the wheel speed can be
converted into a digital speedometer signal by means of an MA 3400/00 magnetic field
sensor and magnetisation of a tyre.

to the actual mounting angle in the instrument panel.
1. In navigation mode:
Select the “Mounting angle” option in the “System settings” menu.
2. Depending upon the installation, set the angle to between -10 and +30 degrees. The
system does not differentiate between negative and positive angles. Thus, even for a
mounting angle of e.g. -10 degrees, set a value of “10” in the menu.
■ Loudspeaker test
To check that the loudspeakers are connected correctly, ➽ page 37.
■ Setting the time zone and time format
To set the desired time format (12 or 24-hour) and the time zone appropriate to your
location, ➽ page 37.

Checking the vehicle functions

Check the safety-relevant vehicle functions only when the vehicle is stationary, or
moving at low speed. Only perform the check in an open area.
Brake system, alarm system, lights, immobiliser, speedometer, trip computer, clock.

Checking GPS reception and calibrating the system
Enter a destination and select “Guidance”. Call up the “GPS / Compass” information
menu via the guidance screen (see operating instructions) and check the number of
satellites. For a sufficiently exact location determination, the number should be
between 4 and 8.
As soon as adequate GPS reception is available, perform a short test drive (approx. 10
minutes) on digitised roads in order to calibrate the system. Calibration takes place
fully automatically. Turn off several times and drive through a number of junctions.
Then check whether the navigation system indicates the correct vehicle position in the
“Car position” information menu.
Note: The system can also be calibrated without C-IQ contents activated. However, no
directional information will be provided. The current vehicle position can then be
checked in the emergency menu (see operating instructions).

News
Ann. Level: 2

The following options are available:

TMC Scan (Traffic Message Channel)
If you activate this function, the automatic search will only look for stations
transmitting TMC information and will ensure that you receive as much TMC data as
the unit can find.
TMC data are used in navigation mode for dynamic route planning and dynamic guidance.
An increasing number of RDS stations transmit these TMC data. See also “Behaviour of
TMC and TA” on the following page.
✎ TMC is not yet available in all countries.
✎ Stations with Pay TMC (subject to a fee) content are not supported and are ignored
during the search.
✎ If an MT 5011 TMC receiver is installed, “TMC Scan” setting in the Info menu has no
influence on navigation.
Only the TMC data received by the TMC receiver is used for dynamic route planning,
provided this is activated in the “Settings -> TMC Source” menu.

TA Scan (Traffic Announcements)
Activate this function if you wish to hear traffic announcements (TA). See also “Behaviour
of TMC and TA” on the following page.
✎ If the radio has not been set to a station with TA, you will hear a warning tone and
the radio will automatically search for a station transmitting traffic announcements.

News
Activate this function, if you wish to listen to news, e. g. even when a CD is playing or
when the unit is set to mute. Using the RDS-EON function, the unit can also receive the
news from other stations.
✎ News broadcasts may be interrupted by traffic announcements.
✎ The “News” function is not yet available in all countries.

Ann. level (Announcement level)
Set the volume difference for traffic announcements, news and alerts to the current
volume setting.

Guid. level (Guidance level)
Setting the guidance level controls the volume of announcements (in navigation
mode). Possible settings range from OFF to 8. If it is set to “OFF”, no audible
navigation information will be heard. Switching the unit off and then on again
removes this setting and the value is reset to “1”.

“INFORMATION” MENU
Behaviour of TMC and TA
If you switch on TMC Scan, you ensure that the radio will only search for stations
transmitting TMC data during the automatic search.
If the reception quality of the TMC station deteriorates drastically, the unit will
indicate this by outputting a warning message.
If you do not need guidance or are listening to an audio CD, yet you do not wish to go
without current traffic announcements, switch on the TA Scan function. In that case
the radio will play the traffic announcements even if it is in CD or CD changer mode or
muted.
Depending on the selected function and the station, the radio display will show the TA
or TMC status:

■ Traffic announcements from other stations - EON
With the RDS function EON (Enhanced Other Networks) you will hear traffic
announcements even if the set station does not transmit its own traffic information
but is operating on a network with other stations.
If you have activated TA Scan, stations with EON will be treated like TA stations, i.e.
the search will also stop at these stations.
✎ When a traffic announcement is made, the unit switches to a traffic information
station linked to EON. The program name of the traffic information station is
displayed during the traffic announcement. After the announcement, the unit
returns to the previous program.

C-IQ - Your key to map, traffic and travel information
With your navigation radio you get several CDs containing all the available map data
of Europe, plus digital travel guide products and TMC data (for dynamic navigation).
The information or products on the CDs are encrypted and, if required and after expiry
of an activation period, can be activated* using an access code, subject to payment of a
fee.
Your advantages:
– You only pay for the information that you actually use.
– You only pay for the time that you actually use.
– After the first activation, you will automatically receive subsequent CD updates.
– You are always in possession of the latest information.
– Activation can be obtained conveniently via the Internet at www.C-IQ.net or via the
C-IQ Service Centre Hotline (see further information about C-IQ).
*)

the automatic update service (regular dispatch of updated CDs at least once a year
within a period of activation) is only available upon registration and does not apply to
unlimited C-IQ activations. Register via www.C-IQ.net or by telephoning the C-IQ
Service Centre.

Activation options
The CD contains the latest version of the road map software available at the time of
production.
It also contains travel guide information for a number of countries as well as traffic
information for dynamic route planning via TMC (in countries which offer this service).
You can activate
– the road data
– individual travel guides and if required
– traffic information
for a number of countries for a certain period of time (see also the preview in this
chapter). Your C-IQ Service will be happy to provide more information about the
various access options available.
Information on C-IQ:
Code-entry for the activation C-IQ content only works when the map CD (CD-ROM) is
inserted.
For trouble-free use of C-IQ content, it is imperative that the current date is received
by the navigation system. This is only possible if at least one GPS satellite is being
received (see “GPS / Compass” information screen).

Travel info
If you have enabled a C-IQ Travel Info product (e.g. Varta, Michelin, etc.) you can search
specifically for particular facilities and transfer them directly as the via point.
The input of a via point is identical to the input of a destination address.
Viapoint input is limited in the same way as destination input when the map CD is not
inserted.

Delete via points not reached
Via point which you have not reached or which are no longer desirable to you must be
deleted from the via point list so that the navigation system may plan the route to the
next via point or to the final destination. If a not reached via point is not deleted, the
system will continue to try and guide you to this via point.
Via points can be deleted in the address manager or on the “Via points” information
screen, ➽ page 65 or page 58.
Notes:
The maximum number of stored via points is 25.
The via points are targeted in the order in which they are entered.
For guidance to the via points, the system automatically uses the route planning
criterion for the final destination.
It is possible to enter new via points en route to the final destination at any time.
Once a via point has been reached (“destination reached”), it is deleted from the list
of via points.
If you enter a new destination you will be asked whether you also wish to delete the
via point list. If you answer “No,” the remaining via points will be retained for the new
destination address.
Via points are not stored in the list of last destinations (destination input and viapoint
input).
Via points cannot be stored with “Store address” in the address manager.

If you reject the planned detour, the direct route (which might go through the
traffic obstruction) will be planned.
This function is only available if the map CD is inserted.

Dynamic route planning
Unlike dynamic guidance, which provides information about traffic conditions on your
route and on request about local traffic conditions, dynamic route planning takes into
account the whole of the current traffic situation in a configurable area (horizon) in
the vicinity of the current position of the car. 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. You should base your decision on the
anticipated delay calculated by the system.
✎ The delay is calculated by the navigation system on the basis of the data transmitted
by the TMC station, which may not actually reflect the current situation.
✎ This function is only available if the map CD is inserted.
Dynamic route planning can be activated in the “Route selection” menu. ➽ page 56.
In addition, you may select criteria on which dynamic route planning should be based
in the “Settings - Dyn. route sett.” menu. ➽ page 69.
■ Automatic mode for dynamic route planning
Fully automatic dynamic route planning allows you to concentrate on what is
important. The navigation system plans the route, taking into account the current
traffic situation without you noticing.
☞ Activate the “Automatic” option in the “Settings –> Dyn. route sett.” menu.
✎ When Automatic mode is activated, no information is displayed regarding present
traffic problems. The route is always calculated based on the current traffic
situation received via TMC.
✎ Automatic mode is switched off in the factory settings.

TIPS & TRICKS

Tips for convenient operation
■ Cross-border guidance
Owing to the high data volume, the European navigation data is stored on several CD
ROMs (map CDs). In order to nevertheless achieve cross-border guidance, the most
important European cities and roads (Major Roads Europe) are additionally stored on
the map CDs at present. In order to enable cross-border navigation, the C-IQ content
must be activated for the destination and transit countries. Alternatively, route
planning can be performed without activation of this feature if the route is covered by
the connecting road network (Major Roads Europe). In this case, no visual and audible
guidance is available after crossing the border into a deactivated country.
✎ For continuous cross-border guidance, it is imperative that the relevant C-IQ content
is activated.
The following alternative input methods requiring the map data from two or more
map CDs are available for activating route planning:
Alternative 1:
Insert the map CD for the destination country. Start route planning and follow the
directional arrow displayed to the next digitised road. As soon as you have reached
the connecting road network, the directional arrow disappears and visual and audible
guidance begins.
Alternative 2:
Insert the map CD for your current location. Start route planning. Owing to the data
volume, you can only enter a destination which is covered by the connecting road
network. When approaching the destination, insert the map CD for the destination
country. Then enter details of the destination and start route planning again.
✎ Please note that the connecting road network is used exclusively for route planning
when the navigation CD of the actual location is not inserted.
Alternative 3:
Plan your travel route to a desired border crossing using the navigation CD ROM for
your current location. After crossing the border, insert the map CD of your current
location and start route planning to your destination or to the next border crossing.
