Risk of damage! The navigation computer must not be disconnected from the power supply while the LED on the computer remains lit (the LED goes out after approx. 1 minute).
NOTE:
To ensure full operation of all the communications components, it is necessary in new cars to insert a Road Map CD in the navigation computer.

The mode preset at the factory is automatically reset when this CD is inserted.
