Notes on audio CDs
You can play 12 cm audio CDs on your CD player. The use of 8 cm CDs (with or without
adapter) and of CDs with irregular shapes is not recommended.
Notes on map CDs
The navigation system is based on a C-IQ database, which is stored on a CD in encrypted
format. The CD contains map data for navigation as well as travel and traffic
information (TMC) for dynamic route planning. You can customize your navigation
package by activating specific components of the database.
TMC and dynamic route planning are not available in the U.S.
For further information see “C-IQ - INTELLIGENT CONTENT ON DEMAND”, ➽ 31.
Handling CDs
Avoid leaving fingerprints on the CD when
removing it.
Always store map and audio CDs in their
protective covers.
Always ensure that CDs are clean and dry before
inserting.
Protect CDs from heat and direct sunlight.
