*) Available functionality of the navigation system is dependent on the map data
content and may differ depending on the respective region.
Road safety
This unit is designed for use in commercial vehicles.
Specifications that are required for route guidance of commercial vehicles,
such as height restrictions or maximum permissible loads, are considered in
the route calculations, to the extent that these specifications are stored in
the navigation data.
-
Pay attention to restrictions in road traffic at all times during the trip, even if
you follow the recommendations of the driving unit. The information stored
in the navigation data may be incorrect, incomplete or outdated.
-
Only use current navigation SD cards that contain relevant information for
commercial vehicles when updating the navigation data.
-
The map data on the SD card is sometimes not up to date - some roads are
not included or names and addresses differ from those that were in use at
the time of card production.
-
Make sure that the characteristics of your vehicle and the current load are
always stored in the unit in order to avoid unsuitable or dangerous routes.
-
Use of the navigation system does not mean that the driver should not
display responsible and proper driving behaviour. You must always
observe the relevant traffic rules. If the navigation instructions do not
correspond to traffic rules, always observe traffic rules first.
FUNCTIONS OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The system will direct you to your desired destinations, even if you are unfamiliar with
the local area.
The orientation and movement of the vehicle is detected by several sensors. The
reception is based on GPS but will also work under poor signal conditions (e.g. inside
a tunnel) due to dead reckoning mechanisms. Depending on environment conditions
in individual cases the reception could be too poor to detect the current location
correctly. After entering the destination address or a contact point (e.g. nearest petrol
station, hotel, etc.), the route is calculated from the current location to the selected
destination. The navigation system provides voice- and textual guidance including
direction arrows on the colour map display.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION SYSTEM AND DYNAMIC NAVIGATION
The system is capable of receiving traffic information made available by TMC and
TPEG broadcasting radio stations (available with optional DAB radio function). TMC
and/or TPEG coverage is available in selected countries.
Traffic information is displayed detailed in the TRAFFIC menu and as icons in the
navigation map. If dynamic rerouting is active, the system takes on-route traffic
information into account when calculating a route, depending on selected criteria and
traffic information type.
Also see the "Traffic messages" chapter for further options.
