BMW Owners Manual for Onboard Computer

Short Description
The onboard computer offers you an array of functions designed to foster safety while simultaneously enhancing your driving pleasure. The GPS navigation system frees you from the burden of reading maps or looking for road signs. It will guide you to any destination recorded on your map CD/DVD. The radio, with its superb reception quality, joins the cassette and CD players in providing optimal sound to satisfy every taste while serving up entertainment to make every trip seem short. The computer calculates vital operating data – including average fuel consumption, cruising range on the remaining fuel and the estimated time of arrival. It provides additional safety before driving – for example, with entry of a code number for the engine immobilizer – and during driving – for example, with an acoustic warning tone so that you do not drive faster than you intend to. We wish you an enjoyable driving experience.

It therefore makes an important contribution to traffic safety.

Map CDs/DVDs are inserted in the navigation computer located at the left rear of the luggage compartment. To ensure that your vehicle's navigation system has access to the latest highway network information, always load the most recent CD/DVD version of the digital road map. As is the case with conventional road maps, the map CDs/ DVDs are subject to periodic updates to ensure that they reflect the latest information and surveys.
