Description
The TravelPilot DX-V navigation system is an independent sys-
tem with an integrated gyroscope. After a destination has been
entered and activated, the system delivers visual driving recom-
mendations as pictograms on a colour monitor and spoken driv-
ing information via a separate speaker well in advance of any
turns or changes in driving direction required. In this way, the
system guides the motorist from his/her starting point on the best
route to the selected destination.
All of the available functions are described in the specifications
of the CD-ROM used.
Notes on how the system functions
The TravelPilot is equipped with an automatic calibration
feature which is required to determine the current vehicle
position. Depending on the GPS reception available, the
calibration is completed after the vehicle has been driven
approx. 15 km. Driving along a winding route (in the city),
which is indicated on the monitor on a map, accelerates the
calibration.
The speedometer signal connection in the vehicle allows the
system to determine the distance driven. If there is no speed-
ometer signal, it will be necessary to have a route sensor in-
stalled by an authorised customer service centre.
In this case, you will have to order a sensor kit (route sen-
sor, magnet strips, bracket, plug and installation instruc-
tions) from your dealer.
