1999 navigation owner's manual - e38.org

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.

Since there are other methods of oper-ating the telephone as well as by way of the on-board monitor, the complete tel-ephone operating instructions are is-sued in a separate handbook.

The quickest way to locate specific top-ics is by reference to the index at the end of the handbook – all the technical information you need and details of how to look after the equipment are given in "Technical features in detail". And so that minor malfunctions do not interfere with the versatility of your on-board monitor, the section headed "What to do if ..." contains an overview of queries which may arise.

If you have any queries, BMW Service will be glad to advise you.

Whenever the equipment guthrough its various functions, these de-tails are not repeated in the handbook. The same applies to self-explanatory screen displays.

Should you sell your BMW at a later date, please remember to pass these Operating Instructions on to the next owner – it is a legally required element in the vehicle's specification.

If your car is equipped with a multi-function steering wheel, the controls on the wheel can also be used to operate the radio. In a BMW 7 Series model, there is a connection for a rear-seat TV with video recorder, so that passengers occupying the rear seats can watch TV while the car is being driven.

The navigation system means you no longer have to read maps during a jour-ney. It therefore constitutes a significant contribution towards improved road safety.

Only enter data when the car is standing still, and always obey the

traffic regulations and road signs in the event of any contradiction between the traffic situation and the instructions given by the navigation system. Failure to do so may result in an infringement of traffic laws and put the car's occupants and other road users at risk.c

The menu guidance principle is de-scribed briefly below. A detailed exam-ple may also be consulted on page 14.

To call up the general menu:

Select as follows:

d Press to confirm the selection.

To exit from the navigation system, press the following button again:

Do not place any metallic objects, e.g. umbrellas, on the rear win-

-

GPS stands for Global Positioning System.

This is part of the navigation system, and uses satellite signals to determine your car's position. The distance be-tween the car and at least three sepa-rate satellites is measured.

This data, received from the car's aerial and the GPS receiver, is supplied to the navigation system computer. In the computer it is combined with further information from the car's ABS sensors, the inertia sensor in the navigation computer and the digitised road map on the CD.

To be quite certain that your car's navi-gation system has the latest road net-work information at its disposal, alwaysload it with the most recent CD versionof the digitised road map. Map CDs, like conventional road maps, are peri-odically updated on the basis of obser-vations and survey data. BMW Service will gladly undertake to notify you when new versions are available.

As a result, the navigation system is able to guide you efficiently and reliably to any map destination you select.
