NAVIGATION ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (CD-ROM READER)

To operate, the control unit uses sensors that detect vehicle movement.

The vehicle speed sensor (or ABS sensor) determines the distance travelled, while the gyroscope (inertial compass) built into the control unit detects rotation when cornering.

By comparison with the digital map (on the CD-ROMs), the system corrects inaccuracies (tyre pressure and wear, temperature, etc.) in order to determine the exact position of the vehicle.

WARNING
  • After disconnecting the battery or replacing the navigation control unit, relocation is automatic (see Telematic System chapter, "Low-end" navigation: Localisation, page 83C-14).
  • After replacing the navigation control unit:
  • the system is set to French by default.

    To change the language, (see Telematic System chapter, "High-end" navigation: Changing language, page 83C-35),

  • it is not possible to recover the addresses stored in the old unit.
Note:
  • With the ignition off, the CD-ROM drive lights up automatically when the eject button is pressed and may stay lit for up to about 1 minute (without switching the ignition back on).
  • When the ignition is switched on, the drive lights up automatically.
  • The navigation control unit differs depending on whether it is mounted horizontally or vertically.
