Language loading commences

It can take up to 20 minutes to load a language.

 The APS navigation processor (A2/30) reads the language information from the CD ROM and this information is saved in the memory. The loading process is not displayed. The announcement "The language has been loaded" indicates the completion of the process.

If the APS is switched off during loading of the language, the language data are lost and have to be reloaded.

4. Selecting language

It is possible to choose between German and English for the language information.

The selection procedure is described in the section Special Functions of the auto pilot system operating instructions.

5. Commissioning the factory software

Start vehicle in the open air (it is necessary to have the possibility of driving in a circle in the open air).

Switch off radio and navigation operating unit

Press buttons AM and 4 and switch on radio and navigation operating unit

APS installation and calibration program appears in the display

Select factory software

Menu prompting is provided for the different program points

Note that in the program point "Wheel sensor pulses" it is necessary to drive the vehicle. The readout of the inner wheel must always be the smaller readout.

After having processed all the program points, switch off ignition.



If the factory software cannot be selected, proceed immediately with the service software

6. Commissioning the service software

Start vehicle in the open air (it is necessary to have the possibility of driving in a circle in the open air).

Switch off radio and navigation operating unit

Press buttons AM and 4 and switch on radio and navigation operating unit

Select service software

Select menu point "COMMISSIONING" with cursor key and confirm with the volume rotary control by pressing

In exceptional cases in which the vehicle does not have any GPS reception at that moment, a location question appears after the menu point "COMMISSIONING". This question should be answered as follows:

 ACT. LATITUDE = 11.1

 ACT. LONGITUDE = 111.1

 NORTHERN LATITUDE / SOUTHERN LATITUDE

Select northern latitude and confirm.

 WESTERN LONGITUDE / EASTERN LONGITUDE

Select eastern longitude and confirm.

Select the respective digit with the cursor key and confirm by briefly pressing the volume control knob.

If the volume control knob is pressed more than just briefly, the complete entry is confirmed.

Switch on rear window defroster

Compass calibration function

The circle to be driven may also be less than 20 m in diameter and be oval-shaped. The important point is that the starting and finishing points are identical. Before driving in a circle, select "START" and confirm. After completing the circle, select "STOP" and confirm.

After completing compass calibration

Test operation of the auto pilot system during a road test.

7. Wheel recalibration (is only required on models with special tire sizes)

It is necessary to calibrate the wheels when commissioning the system, after changing a tire or replacing the APS navigation processor (A2/30).

In the case of new standard tires, it is sufficient to enter the tire type in the appropriate menu.

In the case of tires with special sizes, the tire diameter is calculated by driving a calibration distance.



The calibration distance should be longer than 100 m and as straight as possible. The lenght must be known exactly.

Start vehicle in the open air (the possibility must exist of driving in a circle in the open air)

Switch off radio and navigation operating unit

Press buttons AM and 4 and switch on radio and navigation operating unit

APS installation and calibration program appears in the display

Select service software

Move forward in program to the subsequent menu screen "SELECT VEHICLE MODEL"

Select menu point "MODIFIED CHASSIS"

Confirm with the volume control knob by pressing

Move forward in program until the display "TRACK IN MM"

Enter measured track

The track is measured from wheel center to wheel center. Select digits for entering the data with the cursor key, then confirm data entry by pressing and holding the volume control knob (about 4 s).

Move forward in program up to the next menu screen "DETERMINE TIRE DATA"

Select menu point "OTHER TIRE TYPE"

Confirm with the volume control knob by pressing

Move forward in program to the display "LENGTH OF CALIBRATION DISTANCE"

Enter length of calibration distance in m.

Calibration distance should be longer than 100 m and be straight; the longer this distance, the more accurate is the calibration.

Select digits for entering the data with the cursor key, then confirm data entry by pressing and holding the volume control knob (about 4 s).

Move forward in program to the display "PLEASE SELECT"

If a fault message appears in the display after driving the calibration distance, the wheel pulses have to be checked.
