With the VDO Dayton Multimedia System you have purchased a high-performance instrument which has been designed to assist drivers in daily traffic. With automatic route planning and directional guidance you can concentrate on what is important in today's increasingly heavier traffic especially in large metropolitan areas. Complicated and time-consuming planning with conventional road and city maps is no longer required. You simply enter the destination before beginning your journey, activate Guidance and the system does everything else for you. The navigation system provides you with driving information in the form of acoustic and visual signals. The system is easy to operate with a few control elements and a clearly structured menu. Together with an optional RDS TMC radio or a TMC enhancement1, the system displays the current traffic situation along your route and circumvents traffic obstacles at your request. Numerous system enhancements1 make it possible to turn the system into a comprehensive information and entertainment system.
Guidelines and Recommendations for Safe Use of the Multimedia System
Please make certain that everyone using your Multimedia System has access to these operating instructions and carefully reads the guidelines and recommendations with regard to use of the system before putting it into operation for the first time. If your monitor is installed on a flexible support, align it in such a way that you can quickly and easily look at the screen and so that reflections and glare are avoided. Stop at a suitable place before adjusting the settings on the monitor. If your monitor is installed on a fixed support, check that your dealer has installed it in accordance with the above recommendations. The monitor should not be installed where it obstructs the view of anything required for safe operation of the vehicle (e.g. road, mirror, instruments, vehicle surroundings). In addition, the monitor may not be installed within the inflation range of the airbag. Only look at the monitor if it is safe to do so. Stop at a suitable place if you must look at the screen for a longer period of time. We recommend that you only make setting changes and input new destinations when the vehicle is at a standstill or have them performed by a front seat passenger. Always keep the remote control device in the holder during the journey. In order to avoid interference or malfunctioning of the system, the GPS antenna must not be covered by any objects. Stickers on the vehicle windscreen near the GPS antenna may also interfere with reception.

Comments

After transport of the vehicle by a vehicle transport train or ferry, the navigation system may require a few minutes for exact positioning. After disconnecting the vehicle battery, up to 15 minutes may be required for exact positioning. In order to do so, the vehicle must be outdoors and the system must be switched on in order to receive transmissions from the GPS satellites. The system is capable of functioning temporarily, even without valid GPS data, but the precision of the positioning may be limited. The satellite symbol in the GPS window changes from red to green as soon a precise position has been received via GPS. On main roads, the distances to exits indicated by the system deviate from those indicated by road signs. The road signs on main roads refer to the start of the exit, while the navigation system always indicates the distance to the end of the slip road. This corresponds to the point where the driving lanes fork (separate).

How does the navigation system work?
Determination of vehicle position
The position and movements of the vehicle are recorded by the navigation system via sensors. The completed distance is determined by an electronic tachometer generator, rotary motion in curves by the gyroscope (inertial compass). However, the information provided by these sensors is not always precise. The sensor values alter as a result of wheel slip, changes in the tyre pressure due to temperature variations, etc. It is possible to correct sensor inaccuracies over a certain period of time (several minutes) by the comparing the signals with the digital map. However, the signal provided by the GPS satellites is required in order to correct the data over a longer period of time.
EN-SE-DK_MO_MS5000.book Page 12 Friday, November 12, 1999 4:46 PM
GPS (Global Positioning System)
The GPS system is based on the reception of navigation signals from a total of 27 GPS satellites which orbit the earth at an altitude of 21,000 km in approximately 12 hours. The signals from at least 4 satellites have to be received for three-dimensional positioning, i.e. according to length, width and altitude. The accuracy attainable is thus approximately 30 m to 100 m. If the signals of only three satellites can be received then only two-dimensional positioning without determination of the altitude is possible. The accuracy of the calculated position is thus reduced. Altogether, the integrated system receiver can receive the signals of up to 8 satellites at the same time. If the vehicle is parked for longer periods of time, then the satellites continue their orbit. Thus it may take several minutes before the signals of enough satellites have been received and analysed after the ignition has been switched on again.

General Information

With the VDO Dayton Multimedia System you have purchased a high-performance instrument which has been designed to assist drivers in daily traffic. With automatic route planning and directional guidance you can concentrate on what is important in today's increasingly heavier traffic especially in large metropolitan areas. Complicated and time-consuming planning with conventional road and city maps is no longer required. You simply enter the destination before beginning your journey, activate Guidance and the system does everything else for you. The navigation system provides you with driving information in the form of acoustic and visual signals. The system is easy to operate with a few control elements and a clearly structured menu. Together with an optional RDS TMC radio or a TMC enhancement1, the system displays the current traffic situation along your route and circumvents traffic obstacles at your request. Numerous system enhancements make it possible to turn the system into a comprehensive information and entertainment system.
Guidelines and Recommendations for Safe Use of the Multimedia System
Please make certain that everyone using your Multimedia System has access to these operating instructions and carefully reads the guidelines and recommendations with regard to use of the system before putting it into operation for the first time. If your monitor is installed on a flexible support, align it in such a way that you can quickly and easily look at the screen and so that reflections and glare are avoided. Stop at a suitable place before adjusting the settings on the monitor. If your monitor is installed on a fixed support, check that your dealer has installed it in accordance with the above recommendations. The monitor should not be installed where it obstructs the view of anything required for safe operation of the vehicle (e.g. road, mirror, instruments, vehicle surroundings). In addition, the monitor may not be installed within the inflation range of the airbag. Only look at the monitor if it is safe to do so. Stop at a suitable place if you must look at the screen for a longer period of time. We recommend that you only make setting changes and input new destinations when the vehicle is at a standstill or have them performed by a front seat passenger. Always keep the remote control device in the holder during the journey. In order to avoid interference or malfunctioning of the system, the GPS antenna must not be covered by any objects. Stickers on the vehicle windscreen near the GPS antenna may also interfere with reception.

General Information The directions provided by the navigation system are only suggestions. The driver is responsible for safe operation of the vehicle and thus should check whether it is safe to follow the instructions. The navigation system is no substitute for the observance of traffic laws if there is a contradiction between the momentary traffic conditions and the information provided by the system. If you decide not to follow the suggested route then the navigation system will automatically calculate a new route and provide new directional information (Automatic New Route Calculation function). The values shown in the Board Computer menu of the system for current speed, travel time and distance covered are calculated. Accuracy cannot be guaranteed in all cases. In certain areas one way streets, turn off and entry prohibitions (e.g. pedestrian zones) are not recorded. The navigation system provides a warning in such areas. Pay particular attention to one way streets, turn off and entry prohibitions. The 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. Use the Alternative Route function in order to get better suggested routes or simply take the preferred route and let the Automatic New Route Calculation function plan a new route. Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when you attempt to locate an emergency service (police, fire service, etc.). It cannot be guaranteed that all of the available emergency services in your vicinity are stored in the database (on the CD). Act in accordance with your own discretion and abilities in order to obtain help in such situations. You can put batteries into the remote control device (not included in the standard equipment). In this case, do not expose the remote control device to direct sunlight. (Batteries discharge at high temperatures and there is a risk of leakage).
DE-IT-E_MO_MS5000.book Page 123 Sunday, November 7, 1999 10:57 PM
General Information Comments After transport of the vehicle by a vehicle transport train or ferry, the navigation system may require a few minutes for exact positioning. After disconnecting the vehicle battery, up to 15 minutes may be required for exact positioning. In order to do so, the vehicle must be outdoors and the system must be switched on in order to receive transmissions from the GPS satellites. The system is capable of functioning temporarily, even without valid GPS data, but the precision of the positioning may be limited. The satellite symbol in the GPS window changes from red to green as soon a precise position has been received via GPS. On main roads, the distances to exits indicated by the system deviate from those indicated by road signs. The road signs on main roads refer to the start of the exit, while the navigation system always indicates the distance to the end of the slip road. This corresponds to the point where the driving lanes fork (separate).

DE-IT-E_MO_MS5000.book Page 125 Sunday, November 7, 1999 10:57 PM
General Information Limited GPS reception If there are interruptions or disturbances to GPS reception while driving over several kilometres, then there may be both functional impairments and inappropriate messages. There may either be no GPS reception or faulty reception: between tall buildings in car parks, tunnels or under bridges in forests or avenues in the event of heavy precipitation and thunderstorms in valleys and mountains in the event of unfavourable satellite constellations in conjunction with the GPS antenna installation position. In this case reception may be disrupted over a longer period of time. Sufficient GPS reception should be provided for about 95 % of travel time with a properly installed GPS antenna. Unfavourable positioning of the GPS antenna may account for more frequent disruptions to reception. In such cases contact the workshop responsible for installation.
The navigation system can compensate for GPS reception problems over several minutes or kilometres without functional impairments. The Digital Road Map In order to be able to plan a route to a destination address, the navigation system not only needs the current position of the vehicle, but also a digital road map on which the destination address itself and the roads leading to the destination address are stored. This digital road map is on the map CD which you insert into the navigation computer. The road system is stored on the map CD as a line model, i.e. expanded crossings also have only one focal point that is approached by all roads in point-to-point fashion. Thus the navigation system indicates the distance to the turn off point as the distance to the centre of the crossing. < Real

Digital >

DE-IT-E_MO_MS5000.book Page 126 Sunday, November 7, 1999 10:57 PM
General Information Areas with limited road information In some areas all of the information about a road is not 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 system will display a warning if you drive into such an area. road signs and motor vehicle traffic regulations. Topicality of the map CD Roughly 1015 % of the road system characteristics change each year. Because of these constantly changing traffic conditions (construction of new roads, traffic calming, etc.) we unfortunately cannot guarantee that the digital road map will be in 100 % agreement with existing traffic conditions. We recommend that you always use the most current version of the map CD for navigation. TMC data on the map CD The prerequisite for use of the dynamic directional guidance (see page 153) with display of the obstructions to traffic on your travel route is, in addition to a connected TMC source, the use of map CDs with TMC data. Map CDs with these data are provided with the label (TrafficMessageChannel).

Switching on / off

The Multimedia System is switched on or off together with the ignition. If the system has not been switched to stand-by mode prior to it being switched off, then a title screen will first appear. This is followed by information on use of the system. Confirm this information by pressing the OK-button. The system is started after several seconds and the various functions can be selected.

Theft protection

The system has a removable security module (detachable panel). If the security module that is supplied with the Multimedia System is either incorrectly installed or not installed at all, then the system is blocked and a message appears on the display. If the security module is not used then the system can only be switched to stand-by. Theft protection can also be deactivated if required. The security module is then switched to Inactive, see Security Module function on page 137.
A If you use the Multimedia System without the security module (security module
switched to Inactive) then please note the following: Since the security module is missing, inadvertent activation of the security module will lead to immediate deactivation of the system. The system can only be used again after installation of the correct security module! Please contact your retailer if the security module is lost.

Volume control

Press the buttons + or - on the remote control in order to change the volume of the audible information (see also GALA option in section Volume Level function on page 138). You will hear Louder or Softer with the current volume setting.

Maintenance and care

Cleaning the remote control and display
Do not use cleaning petrol, spirits or other solvents for cleaning. A damp cloth is best used for cleaning.
Changing batteries for remote control
To replace the batteries in the remote control: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Remove the discharged batteries.
In many countries discharged batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please determine how to dispose of discharged batteries in accordance with local regulations. Insert two new Type AA batteries (Mignon, LR 6). Ensure correct polarity (marked in the compartment). Only use leak-proof batteries. Battery leakage can cause damage to the remote control or to your car. Close the battery compartment. Never expose the remote control device to direct sunlight or extreme heat. Batteries discharge at high temperatures and there is a risk of leakage. Tip: If you only use your remote control in its holder, then we recommend that you remove the batteries from the remote control.
