Navigation
Overview
How does the navigation system work, and how is it
operated?
An optimal route is defined using sensors, satellites and
traffic reports and the driver is then guided to his or her desti-
nation.
The current vehicle position is determined using a system of satellites (GPS -
Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distances that
have been driven. Thanks to the detailed information on the navigation CD
the measurements values are compared and if necessary they are updated
using the traffic reports (

Safety
The navigation system determines the position of the vehicle, the direction
and distance and the route to a selected destination without taking traffic
regulations into account. Navigation recommendations are given as
announcements by the system. Direction arrows are also shown on the
screen. The destination is entered when the vehicle is stationary. The desti-
nation guide function is designed for cars and is thus unsuitable for larger
commercial vehicles.
