The special information required by navigation systems for lorries or busses, such as height restrictions or maximum
permissible loads, is not included on the navigation CDs.
• For safety’s sake, load or change a CD only when your vehicle is stationary.
• Do not open the operating panel unless you want to load a CD.
• Close the operating panel immediately after you have loaded a CD to ensure that the system is ready for operation
when you resume your trip.
• When the operating panel is open, a red LED will flash as a warning. After 30 seconds you will hear a warning beep
which indicates that you should close the operating panel.
If you do not focus your full attention on the traffic situation at all times, you could cause serious accidents.
To avoid being distracted by the TravelPilot, please observe the following information:
• Before you take your first trip using the TravelPilot, make yourself familiar with the system and its operation.
• Find a suitable area to temporarily park your vehicle if you want to re-program the TravelPilot.
• Do not make any adjustments to the TravelPilot while driving unless the traffic situation allows.
• Do not attempt to enter your destination unless the vehicle is stationary.

Note:
To prevent the TravelPilot from being used after it has been discon-
nected from the vehicle battery, you can activate the security cod-
ing.
If the security coding has been activated, you will always be required
to enter the code after the vehicle battery has been disconnected,
after the system has been disconnected from its power supply (e.g.
if stolen) and after a fuse has blown. For information on how to ac-
tivate/deactivate the coding, please refer to the section on “Activat-
ing the equipment coding” in the chapter on Set-up.
General operating instructions
Selecting the operating mode
To select the operating mode, press:
TU A for radio operation,
CD·C ? to activate CD-player or CD-changer operation (optional) and
NAV < to activate navigation.
When you press one of these keys to switch between the audio sources, you will
access the main menu for the audio source selected.
Each audio source (tuner, CD player and CD changer) has three menus which
are used to make all of the setting adjustments:
- The main menu is used to make the most frequent adjustments, e.g. to
select radio stations or CD tracks.
- The functions menu is used to select special functions such as Travel-
store.
- DSC menu. Direct Software Control is used to adjust the options for the
individual audio sources to suit your own personal preferences.
The following menus are available in navigation mode:
- The main menu to activate the main navigation functions,
- The route guidance menu with visual driving recommendations and
- The DSC menu to adjust the options for navigation to suit your own per-
sonal preferences.
Switching between the main and the functions menus
To switch between the main and the functions menus for an audio source,
Press the corresponding button TU A or CD·C ? again.

Note: Always handle the screen with care. Never allow the display
to come into contact with pointed objects as this will result in scratch-
es and damage the screen. To clean the screen, use only a soft, lint-
free cloth, moistened with a little rubbing alcohol if necessary. Do
not use any solvents such as turpentine or petrol as they are very
aggressive and will damage the screen.

cally switch back to the original menu after 30 seconds (time out).
General operating instructions
Switching on coded systems after they have been discon-
nected from the vehicle battery
If you attempt to switch on a coded system after it has been disconnected from
the vehicle battery, e.g. after a repair has been made to the vehicle, an code
inquiry will appear in the display.
Enter the code number as follows:
Use the right-hand rotary/pushbutton ; to mark the first digit of the code
number,
Press the right-hand rotary/pushbutton ;.
The cursor for the code input will move one position to the right. Code inquiry
Now select the second digit of the code number and press the right-hand
rotary/pushbutton ; to confirm your selection.
Enter the remaining digits of the code number in the same way.
If you enter an incorrect digit by mistake,
Mark the symbol and
Press the right-hand rotary/pushbutton ; or
Press DEL 6.
Once you have completed entering the code number,
Mark the symbol and press the right-hand rotary/pushbutton ; to
confirm your selection.
The system will switch on. If you enter and confirm an incorrect code number by
mistake, you can repeat your entry. To prevent thieves from discovering the
code number by trial and error, the system will be blocked for one hour after an
incorrect code is entered for the third time. The system must remain switched on
for this time to count down. If the system is disconnected from the power supply
during this waiting period, the time will be reset to one hour once again.

Activating/deactivating RDS-REG
Another attractive RDS option is the “Alternate Frequency” function. The system
constantly searches in the background for frequencies with better reception for
the radio station selected and switches automatically to these frequencies. At
certain times of the day, however, some radio station networks broadcast differ-
ent programs to serve a particular region. If the alternate frequency option is
activated, this might mean that the radio automatically switches to a stronger
frequency for the same station which is currently broadcasting a different re-
gional program. If you want to continue listening to a particular regional program
and prevent the radio from automatically switching to a different frequency, switch
the menu item REG in the DSC menu to ON. Then the radio will not switch
frequencies unless reception deteriorates to the point that it is no longer possi-
ble to pick up the frequency selected.
