If you received this operation guide update when purchasing
a new unit, the functions and modifications described from
page 21 are intended as a supplement to your operation guide.
If you received this operation guide update together with an
update CD, the update procedure and the new functions and
modifications are described on the following pages. As basis
for this description, it is assumed that you already own the
CD 3.X, CD 4.X, CD 5.X, CD 6.X or CD 7.X.
If this is not the case, i.e. you have previously used a Naviga-
tion CD 2.X, then the required information can be found in
the description for the CD 3.0, which is also enclosed.
Installation of CD 8.X
In order to install CD 8.X, remove the old CD and insert the
new CD 8.X.
After a short time, the following display or a similar display

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.

Navigation with two European CDs For example, if you wish to navigate from a town on the
Southern Europe CD (D) to a town on the Northern Europe
CD (B), enter your destination address as usual. After enter-
ing the town, you will be prompted to insert navigation CD
No. 1 by the display   !#. After in-
serting the relevant CD, enter the road and, if required, the
house number or the town centre.
The required map data is loaded and stored internally after
route calculation has started.
Note: For Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, non-
verified data has been used to achieve a high depth of
digitisation; i.e. with this data, the navigation system
cannot refer to information such as motorway, trunk
road, 30 zone, one-way street or other traffic regula-
tions, as this is not recorded.
All roads can be used, but optimum route guidance
cannot be guaranteed.

Points of interest (P.O.I.) CD
The following contains the general description of the points
of interest (or P.O.I.) CDs.
There are two methods of selecting a point of interest from a
points of interest (P.O.I.) CD:
- During active navigation, a point of interest can be select-
ed in the vicinity of the current position or near the entered
destination.
- If navigation is not active, points of interest can be select-
ed in the vicinity of the current position.
Insert the desired points of interest CD into the CD slot. After
a short time, the following display appears:
Press the right rotary control .
The valid categories for the current points of interest CD are
displayed.
The categories and points of interest shown in the illustrations
are examples. The actual display is dependent upon the CD
used.
Select the desired category with the right rotary control .
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).
If navigation is not active, this selection is skipped.
With the right rotary control, select either   or

it will be treated as a stopover.
After a short time, route calculation to the selected point of
interest is performed.
Note: If a stopover has already been entered, it will be over-
written by the new point of interest.
In order to cancel navigation to the selected point of
interest, you must either cancel navigation or cancel
navigation to the stopover, as described in the com-
plete operating guide.
In order to cancel entry of the point of interest from the point
of interest (P.O.I.) CD, you must eject the point of interest
(P.O.I.) CD by pressing .

Switching the speed limits display on/off
If the speed limits display is ON, the system will inform you
of the maximum permissible speed limit for the route along
which you are travelling during route guidance, insofar as this
information is available.
Set and confirm ! in the System Settings menu.
By pressing the right rotary control selection can be made
between speed limits display  or .
Setting is confirmed and accepted by pressing and holding
the right rotary control .
If, when the speed limit display is ON, you travel along a
route with a speed limit and this speed limit is stored on the
navigation CD, the corresponding symbol will appear on the
right-hand side of the display indicating the speed limit.
The distance to the next point at which for example a turn
should be made is displayed below the navigation arrow,
which appears in reduced format.
On routes with variable speed limits (dependent on weather
conditions, time of day etc.) a symbol with the text @5Y or a
speed with an underscore (e.g.: "80") draws the driver’s atten-
tion to the fact that the speed limit is variable.
Note: As temporary speed limits (e.g. due to road works)
are usually short-lived, these have not been included
on the CD.
Warning
Accident hazard
Road traffic regulations always take priority when a vehicle
is being driven in traffic. Road signs en-route should always
be heeded. In some cases, the speed limit indicated by the
navigation system may be incorrect. At all times, the driver
must decide whether or not to heed the speed limit indicated.
We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the
navigation system.

Dynamic navigation with TMC
Note: Dynamic route guidance is not possible in all coun-
tries.
To use dynamic navigation and the functions de-
scribed below, TMC must be switched on, as de-
scribed under “Switching TMC on/off” on page 36.
When any route recalculations are made with active
dynamic route guidance, the navigation system may
request the Navigation CD (if the Navigation CD is
not already inserted).
Austria: The location and event code was made
available by ASFINAG and BMVIT.
What is dynamic route guidance?
Dynamic route guidance is used to calculate the route, taking
current traffic announcements into account.
The traffic announcements are transmitted by a TMC radio
station in addition to the radio programme and are received
and analysed by the navigation system. There is no charge for
receiving traffic announcements.
Note: Traffic announcements are transmitted by radio sta-
tions, therefore we cannot accept any responsibility
for the completeness and correctness of the an-
nouncements
Activating dynamic route guidance
Dynamic route guidance can be started by selecting
!!S&YY in the route menu.
Note: Can only be selected if TMC has been switched on or
is currently switched on. See “Switching TMC on/
off” on page 36.

Note: If dynamic route guidance has been activated, the
routes are calculated using the "fast route" setting.
If dynamic route guidance has been activated, a continuous
check is made for the presence of relevant announcements for
the selected route. The route is then calculated using the "fast
route" option, while taking into account current traffic an-
nouncements. If the check determines that a traffic announce-
ment is relevant for the route guidance, then a new route to the
destination is calculated automatically by the unit.

Your navigation system can receive TMC information, wheth-
er a TMC station is selected or not. However, in order to guar-
antee optimal reception of TMC information, we recommend
the selection of a TMC station. During radio operation (FM), a
selected TMC station can be recognised by the abbreviation
!. See “Display for TMC stations” on page 37.
Displaying traffic information
Current traffic announcements can be displayed in plain text.
There are several options for requesting current traffic infor-
mation.
Traffic information can be requested via the multifunction
buttons and in the route guidance display and,
in the case of inactive route guidance, via the multifunction
button in the information menu.

Modifications to radio mode
The following modifications have been made to radio mode:
• Modified operation in radio mode (TrafficProgramme)
• Switching TMC on/off
• Display for TMC stations
Traffic Programme (TP)
If an RDS diversity transmitter transmits TP announcements,
it is possible to interrupt CD, CDC/AUX, MW, LW or SW
operation or the mute function and to switch through the
transmitted TP announcement. Moreover, you can listen to
one FM station while having TP announcements switched
through that are transmitted by another FM station.
The functionality of the traffic programme functions depends
on the status of the TMC setting - TMC switched on/off
(“Switching TMC on/off” on page 36)
When TMC is switched off:
• There are two ways to select a TP transmitter:
- automatic tracking
- direct programming
Automatic tracking always uses the FM station currently
being received as the TP transmitter. If the selected FM
station has poor reception quality or cannot function as a
TP transmitter, the unit applies specified criteria to search
for a new TP transmitter.
Direct programming enables a TP transmitter to be pro-
grammed that is not the FM station being received. For ex-
ample, one FM station can be received while TP
announcements transmitted by another FM station are
switched through.
If the programmed TP transmitter reception is poor, the
unit switches to automatic tracking until the programmed
TP transmitter is receivable.
When TMC is switched on:
• With TMC, the unit is capable of selecting a suitable traf-
fic programme transmitter automatically. If possible, a
TMC station is selected as the traffic programme transmit-
ter. The selected TMC station usually offers the best traf-
fic information for the region in which you are travelling.
If no TMC station is available, the traffic programme
transmitter with the strongest signal is selected.
If an RDS transmitter is equipped with a traffic programme,
this is indicated on the display by !.
An inverse TP appears on the display to indicate that the
traffic programme is active.

Display for TMC stations
If a radio station transmits TMC information in addition to the
radio programme, this is indicated on the display by the ab-
breviation !. TMC information is received and analysed
by the navigation system. The reception of traffic announce-
ments is free of charge.
TMC is shown in normal typeface:
The instantaneously selected station is a TMC station. TMC
is switched off.
TMC is shown in inverted typeface:
The instantaneously selected station is a TMC station. TMC
is switched on.
