What to do if …

a navigation DVD is inserted, but the

request to insert the DVD is displayed on

the Control Display?

The navigation DVD may not be the right

DVD for the navigation system. The DVD is

labeled accordingly.

you request the current position of your

vehicle, but do not receive a precise dis-

play?

The system is unable to receive enough

GPS signals at your current position due to

obstructions, your position is not yet avail-

able on your navigation DVD, or the system

is in the process of calculating your posi-

tion. As a rule, reception is guaranteed in

the open air.

the destination guidance does not accept a

destination?

The data of the destination is not stored on

the navigation DVD that is loaded. Select a

destination that is as close as possible to

the original.

the destination guidance does not accept a

destination without the street name?

On the navigation DVD, no downtown area

can be determined for the city or town

entered. Enter any street, or a destination

such as the railway station etc., then start

the destination guidance.

you want to enter a destination for the des-

tination guidance, but it is not possible to

select the letters for your desired entry?

The data of the destination is not stored on

the navigation DVD that is loaded. In this

case, the system will not offer you any let-

ters to choose from. Select a destination

that is as close as possible to the original.

the system stops furnishing directions on

which way to turn as you approach intersec-

tions?

You are driving in an area that has not yet

been completely recorded on the naviga-

tion DVD. Instead of an arrow indicating a

turn, you will see an arrow which indicates

the general direction of your planned route.

Or you have left the recommended route

and the system requires a few seconds to

calculate a new recommended route.

the navigation system does not react to

entries?

If the battery has just been reconnected

after having been disconnected, it then

takes up to 10 minutes before the system is

once again operational.
