Operating Instructions for On-Board Computer with Navigation and TV. Advanced technology. The on-board monitor offers you a great many functions which will make your journeys even safer and more of a pleasure. The GPS navigation system means that you do not have to consult printed maps or search for road signs; it brings you accurately to any destination shown on the map CD. The radio, cassette and CD ensure the best possible signal reception and choice of entertainment for all listeners' tastes, and take the monotony out of even the longest journey. The DSP sound system transports you to the concert hall, jazz club or cathedral – with the ideal audio environment for every station. The on-board computer calculates data relevant to the journey – average fuel con- sumption, range and estimated time of arrival. It also provides additional safety when driving — for example by supplying a warning signal if your car's speed exceeds the limit you yourself have selected. The car's auxiliary fuel-burning heater and independent ventilation control system with provision for advance programming ensure that a pleasant interior climate always awaits you when you enter the car. An individual code number can be input as an additional safeguard against theft of your vehicle. The TV with teletext ensures a supply of topical information and provides in-car entertainment while you are waiting. The GSM car phone means that you can always be contacted and make outgoing telephone calls. We wish you an enjoyable motoring experience.
