Precautions during use

It is essential to follow the precautions below when using the system, both in the interest of safety and to prevent material damage.
You must always comply with the laws of the country in which you are travelling.
Precautions when operating the system
Operate the controls and read the information on the screen only when road conditions allow.
Set the volume to a reasonable level so that outside noise can be heard.
Precautions regarding navigation
Use of the navigation system does not in any way replace the responsibility or vigilance of the driver when driving the vehicle.
Depending on the geographical area, the map on the SD card may not have the latest information on new roads. Be alert.
In all cases, Road Traffic Regulations and road signs always take precedence over the directions of the navigation system.
Precautions concerning the equipment
Do not attempt to dismantle or modify the system, as there is a risk of damage to equipment and fire.
Contact a representative of the manufacturer in the event of malfunction and for all operations involving disassembly.
Do not insert foreign objects or a damaged or dirty SD card into the reader.
Allows clean your screen with a microfibre cloth or a soft, moistened cloth.
Use an SD card which is suitable for your navigation system.

The description of the models given in this manual is based on the specifications at the time of writing. This manual covers all
existing functions for the models described. Whether or not they are fitted depends on the equipment model, options selected
and the country where it is sold. This manual may also contain information about functions to be introduced later in the year.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (1/3)

The navigation system

The navigation system calculates your

position and guides you using data:
vehicle speed and information from
the gyro (measuring the vehicle direction);
the digital map;
the GPS receiver;
the subscription-only Live Services.
Note: when using the vehicle for the
first time, the speed information and
the gyro will be undergoing final calibration. It is therefore normal that the
system does not provide a very precise
location until the vehicles has travelled
around fifty kilometres and undertaken
about forty pronounced corners.

The GPS receiver

The navigation system uses GPS satellites (Global Positioning System) orbiting around Earth.
The GPS receiver receives signals
transmitted from several satellites. The
system can then locate the position of
the vehicle.

Note: after moving a long distance

without driving (ferry, rail freight), the
system may take several minutes to
adjust before retuning to normal operation.

If these services are available in your

country, the Live Services icon will
appear on the navigation screen.

The digital map

The system suggests a route to your

chosen destination using:

The digital map contains the road maps

and town maps that the system requires. This is found on the SD card.

LIVE services

These include road safety alerts, HD

Traffic, local search with TomTom
Places and the weather. At the end
of a three-month trial period, you can
extend your subscription online via
TomTom HOME (please see the
System update section).
Note: these services require a subscription, and use an inaccessible SIM
card integrated into the navigation
system.

Navigation assistance
function

its road map (on the SD card);

the positioning sensors which estimate your location even if the GPS
signals are lost;
information from the traffic information service (depending on country);
road safety information (speeding
warning, speed limit zone);
HD Traffic, from subscription to
Live Services.
Finally, it indicates the route to take,
step by step, using the display screen
and voice messages.

A

Operation

When reversing (and up to approximately 5 seconds after shifting to another gear), a view of the surroundings
to the rear of the vehicle is displayed on
the instrument panel accompanied by
two clearance gauges1 and2 (mobile
and fixed).
Note: make sure that the reversing
camera is not obscured (by dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).
Mobile clearance gauge1
This is shown in blue on the navigation screen. It indicates the vehicle trajectory according to the position of the
steering wheel.

40

Fixed clearance gauge2

The fixed clearance gauge comprises
coloured markersA,B andC indicating
the distance behind the vehicle:
A (red) approximately 50 centimetres from the vehicle;
B (yellow) approximately 1 metre
from the vehicle;
C (green) approximately 2 to
3metres from the vehicle;

The screen shows a reverse image.

The frames are a representation
projected onto flat ground; this information must not be taken into
account when superimposed on a
vertical object or an object on the
ground.
Objects which appear on the edge
of the screen may be deformed.
In very bright light (snow, vehicle in
sunshine etc.), the camera vision
may be adversely affected.
When the tailgate is open or not
closed properly, the message Boot
open is displayed on the instrument
panel (risk of incorrect information
on-screen)
While your system is being updated,
the reversing camera will be temporarily unavailable.

This gauge remains fixed and indicates

the vehicle trajectory if the wheels are
in line with the vehicle.
This system is initially used with the aid
of the gauges (mobile for the trajectory
and fixed for the distance), then when
the red zone is reached, use the representation of the bumper to stop accurately.

This function is an additional

aid. It cannot, therefore,
under any circumstances
replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always pay attention to sudden incidents during driving: always ensure that there are no
moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small,
narrow objects such as stones or
posts in your path when manoeuvring.
