Description of operation
Description of operation
Navigation system III processes signals from the worldwide satellite navigation system GPS (Global Positioning System).
Following start-up, the vehicle location is established with the aid of signals from the GPS satellite navigation system.
If the vehicle is located in an area (country, town or road) which is not stored on the navigation CD, the message “OFF-ROAD” or “OFF MAP” appears on the dash panel insert display. In such cases only the direct straight line distance and the direction of the destination are indicated, as the navigation system cannot compare the GPS signals and the vehicle measured values with the information stored.
Route recommendations are given in both acoustic form (spoken directions) and visual form (arrows, turn-off points) on the dash panel insert centre display.
The navigation system has a fault memory. Faults occurring in monitored components/wiring are stored in the fault memory together with an indication of the type of fault.
