Navigation Radio

C-IQ Intelligent Content on Demand
C-IQ allows you to freely select navigation content such as road maps and additional information for the duration of your trip. You only pay for your chosen services during this time period. Offering maximum fairness, this approach avoids the need to buy* new road maps and travel guides. The MS 4200 RS is delivered with a set of CD-ROMs containing the most detailed maps for Europe.
Integrated Dynamic Navigation via TMC incl. Individual Adaptation
The system has an integrated RDS-TMC receiver (Traffic Message Channel) to handle traffic congestions and bypass them. This information is evaluated and included in the route calculation. The delta (travel time, distance) for the current route is shown and the driver can decide whether he would like to drive this new route or not. Additionally he can change the settings in a menu.

Route & Sound

No need to connect a CD changer, if you want to listen to Audio CDs while navigating. Route & Sound enables you an easy switch between radio and CD sound while being guided in a perfect manner via voice and pictogram to your destination.

Travel Info Browser

The guide-information is shown in an easy and understandable format. After the entry of search criteria (e. g. number of Hotel stars, price range and search area) a list of results is being shown out of which the customer chooses his result.
Extensive Destination Input Possibilities
Through the great number of input possibilities virtually every destination can be found. The destination input is supported by the Intelligent Typewriter.

Safety instructions

The use of the navigation radio by no means relieves the driver of his/her responsibilities. The highway code must always be observed. Always observe the current traffic situation. The applicable traffic regulations and the prevailing traffic situation always take precedence over the instructions issued by the navigation system if they contradict one another. For traffic safety reasons, use the navigation system menus only before starting a journey or when the vehicle is stationary. In certain areas, one-way streets, turn off and entry prohibitions (e.g. pedestrian zones) are not recorded. In areas such as these the navigation system will issue a warning. Pay particular attention to one-way streets, turn off and entry restrictions. The navigation system does not take the relative safety of the suggested routes into consideration. Road blocks, building sites, height or weight restrictions, traffic or weather conditions or other influences which affect the route safety or travel time are not taken into consideration for the suggested routes. Use your own discretion in order to decide on the suitability of the suggested routes. The current legal road traffic speed limit always takes priority over the values stored on the data CD. It is impossible to provide an assurance that the speed values of the navigation system will always match those of the current traffic regulations in every situation. Always observe the relevant legal speed limits and traffic regulations. The vehicle speedometer must always be given priority for display of the vehicle speed. Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when attempting to locate an emergency service (hospital, fire service, etc.). It cannot be guaranteed that all available emergency services in your vicinity are stored in the database. Use your own discretion and abilities to secure help in such situations.

New functions
The new operating software for your navigation system provides a number of new or expanded functions: s Improved guidance Improved visual and audible turn-off prompts thanks to additional symbols and optimised voice-output characteristics. s Improved Alternative route The settings range for planning an alterative route has been improved from only 10 km to up to 50 km. s Expanded Route & Sound function What is meant here is destination input without a map CD. If the new destination is within the range of the map section (corridor) stored in the main memory, it is possible to enter a new destination without the map CD. What is meant by corridor ? The navigation system plans a route and then loads a belt of some kilometres around the planned route (the corridor) as map data from the map CD into the main memory. Functional restrictions in corridor mode Please note that some navigation system functions are not or only partially available when the map CD (corridor mode) is not inserted. In this event, the menu options appear grey (e.g. Alternative route, Route selection, Traffic info away from the planned route). It is only possible to load stored addresses if they are located within the corridor. Route planning is only possible with roads located within the corridor. Even if a destination address is located within the corridor and can be entered as a destination, it may not be possible to plan a route to that destination. In this case, please insert the map CD. TMC traffic information is only available for the stored map section and with the On the route option available. Travel info and POIs can only be called up using the map CD. Some C-IQ functions (in particular code entry) are only possible when the map CD is inserted. As soon as you insert the map CD, these functions are available again. Leaving the corridor If you drive out of the corridor, e.g. do not follow the planned route, the navigation system will attempt to guide you back into the corridor. The directional arrow and the distance to the planned route will be displayed. If you continue travelling away from the corridor (more than approx. 3 km), the navigation system will display only the directional arrow and the distance to the destination. In this case, please insert the map CD so that the navigation system can plan a new route to your destination. s Convenient resumption of guidance Following a short stopover (ignition off) the navigation radio can continue the previous guidance upon request.

What else has changed in MO 4254?
s MUTE (See page 24) No traffic announcements or navigation messages are made when muting is activated. Should you nevertheless wish to hear traffic announcements (with TA Scan activated) and navigation information without the radio or CD playing, simply turn the volume to zero on the unit. The announcements and information are then output at the preset volume (TA volume or NAV volume in the INFORMATION menu). s Entering letters / Different input methods (See page 26) The database allows you to enter the different parts of compound city or road names in varying sequence. The input methods depend on the map CD inserted. Not all map CDs support this function. s TMC Scan (Traffic Message Channel) (See page 28) Stations with Pay TMC (subject to a fee) content are not supported and are ignored during the search. If an MT 5011 TMC receiver is installed, TMC Scan setting in the Info menu has no influence on navigation. Only the TMC data received by the TMC receiver is used for dynamic route planning, provided this is activated in the Settings -> TMC Source menu.
s AF re-tuning (only in FM) (See page 33) The radio continuously checks a series of alternate frequencies (AF) for the selected station and automatically chooses the best frequency. Deactivate this function only if you hear brief interruptions of transmission or if the unit automatically switches to an undesired station (e.g. to an other regional station belonging to the selected station). s CD player / CD changer (See pages 35 and 37) Do not insert DVDs or shaped CDs in the CD player or in the CD changer magazine. If you ignore these recommendations, you risk damaging your unit. The system may not be able to play copy-protected audio CDs which do not correspond to the Compact Disc Audio Standard or play them properly. s Clock Settings (See page 39) The Clock Type menu option in the Clock Settings menu has been discontinued. The clock is automatically synchronised via the GPS signal. If necessary, you must set the time change applicable to your particular region (time zone). s Security code (anti-theft protection code) (See page 40) You must enter the code in order to open the menu for activating, deactivating or changing the code. The number of entry attempts is unlimited. In the factory settings, the code is set to 0000 and deactivated. Following a voltage supply interruption to the unit (e.g. removal) with an active code, the unit is blocked following ten incorrect entries of the code. The unit can only be reactivated by taking it to a Service department along with proof of ownership. This service is subject to a fee. s Entering a new address (See page 46) The destination input functions via the postal code and Quick Access are not supported by all map CDs. s Bypassing a traffic obstruction locally and Alternative Route (See pages 61 and 62) In the preview screen for the alternative route, the L option is also available. L can be used to display a road list for the detour. s Dyn. route sett. (settings for dynamic route guidance) (See page 67) This setting is only possible when Dyn. route is activated in the route selection and a TMC station is received (in Radio or via an optional TMC receiver). s Settings / language (See page 68) Some of the extended voice information may not be available for all voices. We therefore recommend only loading the voice designated as new in the desired language from the software CD.

Tips for convenient operation
s Cross-border guidance Owing to the high data volume, the European navigation data is stored on several CD ROMs (map CDs). In order to nevertheless achieve cross-border guidance, the most important European cities and roads (Major Roads Europe) are additionally stored on the map CDs at present. In order to enable cross-border navigation, the C-IQ content must be activated for the destination and transit countries. Alternatively, route planning can be performed without activation of this feature if the route is covered by the connecting road network (Major Roads Europe). In this case, no visual and audible guidance is available after crossing the border into a deactivated country. For continuous cross-border guidance, it is imperative that the relevant C-IQ content is activated. The following alternative input methods requiring the map data from two or more map CDs are available for activating route planning: Alternative 1: Insert the map CD for the destination country. Start route planning and follow the directional arrow displayed to the next digitised road. As soon as you have reached the connecting road network, the directional arrow disappears and visual and audible guidance begins. Alternative 2: Insert the map CD for your current location. Start route planning. Owing to the data volume, you can only enter a destination which is covered by the connecting road network. When approaching the destination, insert the map CD for the destination country. Then enter details of the destination and start route planning again. Please note that the connecting road network is used exclusively for route planning when the navigation CD of the actual location is not inserted. Alternative 3: Plan your travel route to a desired border crossing using the navigation CD ROM for your current location. After crossing the border, insert the map CD of your current location and start route planning to your destination or to the next border crossing.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read this information carefully and follow the all the instructions outlined below. This will ensure the reliable operation and long service life of your navigation radio. Keep the packaging and operating instructions in a safe place in order to pass them on to a subsequent owner in the event of selling the unit at a later date.
Fire hazard! When drilling, care must be taken not to damage concealed wiring harnesses, the fuel tank and fuel lines.

A A A A A A

Only trained specialists may install the unit. Observe automotive industry quality standards.

Guid. level (Guidance level)
Setting the guidance level controls the volume of announcements in navigation mode. Possible settings range from OFF to 8. If it is set to OFF, no audible navigation information will be heard. Switching the unit off and then on again removes this setting and the value is reset to 1.

Behaviour of TMC and TA

If you switch on TMC Scan, you ensure that the radio will only search for stations transmitting TMC data during the automatic search. If the reception quality of the TMC station deteriorates drastically, the unit will indicate this by outputting a warning message. If you do not need guidance or are listening to an audio CD, yet you do not wish to go without current traffic announcements, switch on the TA Scan function. In that case the radio will play the traffic announcements even if it is in CD or CD changer mode or muted. Depending on the selected function and the station, the radio display will show the TA or TMC status: Station transmitting Displayed message with setting in the INFORMATION menu:
TA Scan ON * y x x TMC Scan ON u t u t Both ON * t u t Both OFF No display t x t

No TA No TA TA TA

No TMC TMC No TMC TMC
* In this case the unit will immediately start searching for the next strongest TA station signal. s Traffic announcements from other stations EON With the RDS function EON (Enhanced Other Networks) you will hear traffic announcements even if the set station does not transmit its own traffic information but is operating on a network with other stations. If you have activated TA Scan, stations with EON will be treated like TA stations, i.e. the search will also stop at these stations. When a traffic announcement is made, the unit switches to a traffic information station linked to EON. The program name of the traffic information station is displayed during the traffic announcement. After the announcement, the unit returns to the previous program.

SOUND SETTINGS

The SOUND menu
In the SOUND menu, you can set your navigation radios sound and several other sound reproduction parameters to your own preferences. The sound settings for bass and treble/tone are valid for the currently active sound source (radio, CD or CDC). Press the SOUND button. : The SOUND menu is displayed. The following options are available:

Geo. Long-/Latit

Entering a destination by means of GPS coordinates (geographic latitude and longitude).

Travel info

If you have enabled a C-IQ Travel Info product (e.g. Varta, Michelin, etc.) you can search specifically for particular facilities and transfer them directly as the destination. Detailed information about advanced search options can be found in the Travel Info brochure supplied with the map CD.

Entering a new address

An input wizard will help you enter a new address. It will lead you step by step through all the necessary entries such as country, city, road, house number or crossroads and required routing criterion.
Step 1: City or postal code
Select New address in the destination input menu. The display automatically shows City: and the typewriter window, the name of the last destination city is already displayed. If you want to enter a destination address in the city shown, simply select. Enter a new city name or postal code via the typewriter.
Select the list symbol and choose an entry in the database. If several database entries have the same name, the cursor automatically moves to the symbol. Select the required entry type from the list. If there is a large number of possible entries, it may take several seconds to build the list. Confirm your selection with.
s Change country The currently selected country appears as a country code in the bottom left of the typewriter window when a city is entered. If you wish to change the destination country, Country move the cursor to the country code and confirm <ESPAA> your entry. FRANCE : The list of countries stored on the current map CD <ITALIA> appears. UNITED KINGDOM Countries not currently activated appear in < >. Select the required country from the list. You can also enter destinations in countries which have not been activated. You will then only receive directions until you reach the border of that country. s Quick Access (to destination addresses via road names) This function is particularly useful for reducing the input time for unusual road names. If the loaded map CD supports this function, the quick access symbol will appear in the window for entering the city name. Select the symbol in the typewriter window. : Once the complete road name has been entered, only the initial letters of the cities in which a road with that name is located will appear in the typewriter window. If necessary, you should now enter the required city name and confirm your entry with.

Notes:

If the destination is beyond the digitised roads, the system will guide you along digitised roads as far as possible. The system will then display the linear direction and the distance to the destination. If the GPS coordinates you entered should be outside the limits of the current map CD, the system will display an error message.
If you wish to visit other locations en route to the Via point input entered destination address, these can be stored as New address via points. The navigation system then plans the route Load address to include the via points in the given sequence before the destination address is reached. Last destin. When you reach a via point, you will hear You have Info on car pos. arrived. The navigation system will immediately begin to plan the route to the next via point or the final destination. In the address manager or on the Via points information screen you can delete via points you have not reached yet or which you do not wish to visit any longer. See page 57 or 63.
In the main control, select Via point input. The Via point input menu appears.
The following options are available in the Via point input menu:
Input country, city, road, number or crossroads or special facility as via point.
Loading an address stored in the address book as a via point.
Recall one of the 10 addresses last used for guidance to load as a via point.
Loading a special facility in the vicinity of the current position of the car.
If you have enabled a C-IQ Travel Info product (e.g. Varta, Michelin, etc.) you can search specifically for particular facilities and transfer them directly as the via point. Detailed information about advanced search options can be found in the Travel Info brochure supplied with the map CD. The input of a via point is identical to the input of a destination address.
Delete via points not reached
Via point which you have not reached or which are no longer desirable to you must be deleted from the via point list so that the navigation system may plan the route to the next via point or to the final destination. If a not reached via point is not deleted, the system will continue to try and guide you to this via point. Via points can be deleted in the address manager or on the Via points information screen, see page 63 or page 57. Notes: The maximum number of stored via points is 25. The via points are targeted in the order in which they are entered. For guidance to the via points, the system automatically uses the route planning criterion for the final destination. It is possible to enter new via points en route to the final destination at any time. Once a via point has been reached (destination reached), it is deleted from the list of via points. If you enter a new destination you will be asked whether you also wish to delete the via point list. If you answer No, the remaining via points will be retained for the new destination address. Via points are not stored in the list of last destinations (destination input and via point input). Via points cannot be stored with Store address in the address manager.

The guidance screen appears as soon as you activate the guidance. The guidance screen displays the following information:

Refer to page 66, chapter System settings. 52

Audible messages

During guidance, the navigation radio will provide acoustic routing information in addition to the symbols on the guidance screen. Commonly, the directive to turn into another road consists of two voice messages: an early warning e.g. Right turn ahead

AVORY RD.

2200 m

Z 7,6 km U I 14:45

the instruction to turn e.g. Turn right in 200 metres

Z 5,6 km U I 14:45

Turn now advice
In addition to information regarding turning, the system also provides turn now advice, which is output directly at the turn-off point. The Turn now advice can be deactivated in the System settings Language menu.
Improved acoustic guidance information
In many countries, speaking road signs are available for main road slip roads (e.g.: Take exit number 7 and follow the B 429).

Repeating voice message

Did you miss the last guidance message or didnt you fully understand it? Press the { button. : You will hear the current guidance message.
Did you ignore the last message?
If you did not follow the last guidance message or if you were not able to follow it due to traffic conditions (road works, etc.), the system will, within a few seconds, plan a new route from the current position of your car to your destination.
On longer route segments without junctions or crossroads, an arrow is displayed indicating the course of the road over the next 100 m. In addition, a reduced diagram of the next turn-off prompt appears on the left, above the route direction arrow. Thus, the driver is always warned in advance of the next change of direction. Shortly before the change of direction, the detailed turn-off prompt appears.

5400 m

Guidance beyond digitised roads
If you leave a digitised road, the arrow pointing to the nearest digitised road will appear automatically. If that is the case, continue in the direction of the arrow until you reach a digitised road. As soon as you return to a digitised road, you will receive destination guidance again.

Z 5,6km U I 11:23

In some areas, not all of the information on a road is available on the map CD. Thus, for example, turn-off prohibitions, information on the direction of travel in a one-way street or prohibited entry into a pedestrian zone may be missing. The navigation radio will display a warning if you drive into such an area. Local traffic laws always take precedence over navigation system instructions. At the top left of the guidance screen, you will see the ! symbol, as long as you are in an area with limited road information.
Always observe the road signs and motor vehicle traffic regulations.

Route selection

During guidance, you may also modify the route criterion and activate or deactivate dynamic route planning. The system will then plan a new route taking into account the new setting of the current position of your car. In the guidance screen, select the symbol for route selection (on the basis of the setting in the destination input U, V, W or X). The following options are available: Dynamic route: Use this option to specify whether or not TMC traffic information should be taken into account in route planning. Fast: If you prefer a fast route Short: If you prefer a short route Main roads: If you prefer expressways No main roads: Avoids expressways In addition, you can bypass toll roads when planning your route. Activate the No toll road option if you wish to avoid toll roads as much as possible. If no toll-free roads are available, toll roads will be included for planning the route. Note: If this option is activated, route planning may take longer than the time needed with this function deactivated. Therefore this option should only be activated if needed.

Alternative route Distance: +9.0 km Time: +13 min Accept alteration? Yes No

Dynamic route planning

Unlike dynamic guidance, which provides information about traffic conditions on your route and on request about local traffic conditions, dynamic route planning takes into account the whole of the current traffic situation in a configurable area (horizon) in the vicinity of the current position of the car. If a traffic obstruction (e.g. stationary traffic) is reported via TMC for the planned route, the navigation system will analyse the information and calculate the anticipated delay. If there is a traffic problem on the planned route, you will be informed of this by the navigation system and may decide whether the system should take a detour by changing the route in order to avoid the segment concerned or whether it would be more sensible just to drive through the problem. You should base your decision on the anticipated delay calculated by the system. The delay is calculated by the navigation system on the basis of the data transmitted by the TMC station, which may not actually reflect the current situation. If a new route is to be planned due to a traffic obstruction, the navigation system may prompt you to load the map CD (if it has been removed from the player). Dynamic route planning can be activated in the Route selection menu. See page 55. In addition, you may select criteria on which dynamic route planning should be based in the Settings Dyn. route sett. menu. See page 67.
