BMW ONBOARD COMPUTER Operating Instructions Manual Download Page 2

 

The on-board computer offers you a great many functions which will make your 
journeys even safer and more of a pleasure. 

The GPS navigation system renders it unnecessary to consult printed maps or 
search for road signs and brings you accurately to any destination shown on the 
map CD. 

The radio and the cassette and CD players ensure the best possible signal recep-
tion, sound quality and choice of entertainment for all listeners' tastes, and take the 
monotony out of even the longest journey. 

The TV with teletext ensures a supply of topical information and provides in-car en-
tertainment while you are waiting. 

The BMW car phones mean that you can always be contacted and make outgoing 
telephone calls. 

The computer calculates data relevant to the journey – average fuel consumption, 
range and estimated time of arrival. It also provides additional safety both before 
the engine can be started – for instance by demanding a code input for the engine 
immobiliser – and when driving, for example by supplying a warning signal to make 
sure that you do not drive faster than intended. 

We wish you an enjoyable driving experience 

BMW AG
