ENTERTAINMENT AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS

86-8-52 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

GPS Antenna

GPS Antenna

The GPS antenna is located in the rear spoiler on the upper taildoor of the vehicle. The antenna is connected to the 
navigation computer via a single co-axial cable and passes signals received from the GPS satellites to the built in 
receiver for processing.

It is possible for the antenna to lose the signals from the satellites in hilly or tree lined areas, built up areas with tall 
buildings, multi storey car parks, garages, tunnels, bridges and during heavy rain/thunderstorms. When the signal is 
lost, the navigation computer will continue to give guidance using memory mapped data from the CD map until the 
signal is restored.

Multi-Function Display

Multi-Function Display

The Multi-Function Display (MFD) is the user interface for the navigation system. The MFD is also the interface for 
the radio, cassette, CD changer, trip computer and telephone functions of the audio system along with the auxiliary 
heating timer control, DSP functions, television and teletext. The unit comprises a wide screen format LCD monitor 
and associated control buttons. The unit houses a cassette mechanism hidden behind the screen which tilts down to 
load / eject the cassette.
