>
the system stops furnishing directions on  
which way to turn as you approach intersec-  
tions?  
>
a navigation DVD is inserted, but an instruc-  
tion to insert the DVD appears on the Con-  
trol Display?  
You are driving in an area that has not yet  
been completely recorded on the naviga-  
tion DVD. Instead of an arrow indicating a  
turn, you will see an arrow which indicates  
the general direction of your planned route.  
Or you have left the recommended route  
and the system requires a few seconds to  
calculate a new recommended route.  
The navigation DVD may not be the correct  
DVD for the navigation system. This infor-  
mation is indicated on the DVD label.  
>
you request the current position of your  
vehicle, but do not receive a precise dis-  
play?  
The system is unable to receive enough  
GPS signals at your current position due to  
obstructions, your position is not yet avail-  
able on your navigation DVD, or the system  
is in the process of calculating your posi-  
tion. Reception is best when you have an  
unobstructed view to the sky.  
>
the navigation system does not react to  
entries?  
If the battery was disconnected, it takes  
about 10 minutes before the system is once  
again operational.  
>
>
the destination guidance does not accept a  
destination?  
The data of the destination is not stored on  
the navigation DVD that is loaded. Select a  
destination that is as close as possible to  
the original.  
the destination guidance does not accept  
an address without the street name?  
On the navigation DVD, no downtown area  
can be determined for the city or town  
entered. Enter any street, or a destination  
such as the railway station in the selected  
town, and then start the destination guid-  
ance.  
>
you want to enter a destination for the des-  
tination guidance, but it is not possible to  
select the letters for your desired entry?  
The data of the destination is not stored on  
the navigation DVD that is loaded. In this  
case, the system will not offer you any let-  
ters to choose from. Select a destination  
that is as close as possible to the original.
