After starting an update, the display illumination is switched
off during installation. During this period , the unit should not
be operated. The switching off of the illumination does not
constitute a fault. After installation of the radio software, the

Navigation CDs
Two navigation CDs are supplied with the navigation unit.
These CDs contain a digitised street map. One CD for North-
ern Europe (CD no. 1) and one CD for Southern Europe (CD
no. 2) are supplied.
The complete trunk road network and all destination centres
in the digitised area of Northern and Southern Europe are
available on the CDs.
All digitised roads of the northern countries are also included
on the Northern Europe CD. All digitised roads of the south-
ern countries are also included on the Southern Europe CD.
In these detailed areas of the Northern or Southern Europe CD
road map, motorways, regional roads and unclassified roads
as well as country roads are stored. Larger cities and commu-
nities are comprehensively covered. For smaller towns and
communities, the regional and unclassified roads or access
roads and the town centres are included.
One-way streets, pedestrian zones, turning bans and other
traffic regulations are taken into account as far as possible.
There may be discrepancies between the data on the naviga-
tion CD and the actual local situation, due to permanent
changes to road systems and their traffic regulations.

- During active navigation, a point of interest can be select-
ed in the vicinity of the current position or near the entered

- If navigation is not active, points of interest can be select-

Insert the desired points of interest CD into the CD slot. After

Then, press the right rotary control to confirm the category.
Note: If the set user language is identical with one of the
languages available on the CD, the categories are dis-
played in this language. If there is no correspond-
ence, the categories are displayed in all available
languages. This can be recognised by the country ab-
breviations in front of the category.
If the points of interest CD is inserted during active naviga-
tion, the system requests information on the location of the
point of interest (near to destination or in vicinity of current
position).

Road traffic regulations always take priority when a vehicle
is being driven in traffic. Road signs en-route should always
