each tray. Correctly align the tray with the parallel slots on each

side of the magazine and slide the tray into the magazine.

To unload the magazine, hold the magazine with the arrow

uppermost, pull out each tray in turn, holding the tray securely so

as not to drop the disc. Unload one disc at a time and handle only

the edge and centre of the disc.

Satellite Navigation

INTRODUCTION

• Audio and visual destination guidance, including automatically

updated instructions (in case of ignored instructions, or if road

works cause a diversion). Audio instruction is provided via a

speaker located in the driver’s footwell. Visual instruction is

displayed in the message centre in the upper centre of the

instrument pack.

• General information on destination and present location

(hotels, restaurants, parking etc).

• An address book to store frequently needed destinations.

There are 24 GPS satellites in orbit (at a height of 21,000 km)

around the earth. The GPS navigation system will pick up and

utilise any available signals to plot your position. To accurately

determine your position, the GPS receiver needs to be able to pick

• Destination input using either town /road name, or by

selecting a point of interest.

Satellite Navigation

OPERATING INFORMATION

The navigation system can only provide information and guidance

for the area covered by the navigation CD - ensure that you are

using the latest version of the correct CD for your country.

Some maps contain areas of unattributed geometry. In these areas

the navigation system will announce that “you are leaving the

registered road network”. The navigation screen will revert to a

‘Target Direction Arrow’ which displays the direction and distance

to your destination ‘as the crow flies’. No audible instructions will

be given in these areas,.

NOTE: Navigation CDs are updated approximately every 6 months and

you will automatically receive the first update free, along with information

on how to order further updates.

Under normal operating conditions, the satellite navigation system

requires approximately 8 seconds to confirm the car's position

using the satellites.

If the car battery has been disconnected, or if the car has been

transported to a new location on another vehicle (e.g. by trailer or

train), the navigation system will require approximately 15

minutes to identify the new position. Entering the new location

manually will reduce this delay (see ‘ENTERING THE CAR’S

POSITION’, page 178).

Metallic objects interfere with satellite signal reception. For this

reason, do not store any metallic objects in close proximity to the

satellite receiver, located on the rear shelf.

CD-IN

H2902

The navigation computer is located on the right hand side of the

luggage compartment. Check that the ‘ON’ indicator light is

illuminated, if not, press the eject button (1) to activate the system.

Partially insert the navigation CD until it is automatically drawn

into the computer (the ‘CD-IN’ indicator light will illuminate).

DO NOT insert any CD into the navigation computer, other

than a genuine navigation CD.

Once the navigation CD is loaded, it is unnecessary to remove it

unless the following applies:

• You are travelling in an area not covered by the current CD

(another country, for example). Obtain the correct CD for the

new country and install it at the appropriate time.

• If you are updating the computer with the latest version of the

navigation CD (the CDs are updated approximately every 6

months).
