Antenna for GPS

The antenna is integrated into the roof antenna.

Voice recognition

Some procedures in the Navigation system

can also be voice controlled. The microphone

(2a) is fitted in the ceiling and the activation

button (2b) is located on the right-hand keypad

on the steering wheel. For more information,

see page 22.

Main unit

The main unit is fitted in and behind the centre

console and includes the following functions:

•

Calculating the position of the car

•

Calculating the route to the specified des-

tination

•

Handling traffic information

•

Voice guidance

•

DVD player

Receiver for GPS and traffic information

(TMC

1

) is integrated into the main unit.

Positioning

The car's speed sensor and a gyro calculate

the current position and the direction of travel

of the car using signals from the GPS satellite

system.

The advantage of this concept is that the Nav-

igation system registers and calculates the

route outline even if the GPS signal is tempo-

rarily lost, e.g. when driving through a tunnel.

Traffic information

TMC

1

is a standardised coding system for traf-

fic information. The receiver automatically

searches for the correct frequency. Reception

takes place via the FM antenna.

NOTE

TMC is not available in all areas/countries.

The system's coverage area is under con-

stant construction and updating may some-

times be necessary.

For information about updating map data and

software, see page 28.

Screen

The screen displays maps and provides

detailed information on route type, distance,

menus etc. For information screen care, see

page 29.

Keypad, centre console

As an alternative to the steering wheel keypad,

the centre console's numeric keypad can be

used in combination with buttons OK/MENU,

TUNE and EXIT to scroll between different

menu options, confirm options or go back in

menus, see page 19.

Volume control and IR receiver

Use the audio unit's volume control during

ongoing voice messages to adjust the volume,

see page 31. The volume can also be

adjusted in the menu system.

Point the remote control towards the centre

console during use - its IR receiver is located

there.
