Installing the GPS aerial
CAUTION
Do not cut the GPS aerial lead to shorten it
or use an extension to make it longer. Alter-
ing the aerial cable could result in a short cir-
cuit or malfunction and permanent damage
to the navigation system.
Installation notes
! The aerial should be installed on a level sur-
face where radio waves will be blocked as
little as possible. Radio waves cannot be re-
ceived by the aerial if reception from the sa-
tellite is blocked. Installation on the vehicle
roof or boot lid is recommended to opti-
mise reception.

! When installing the GPS aerial inside the
vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet pro-
vided with your system. If this is not used,
the reception sensitivity will be poor.
! Do not cut the accessory metal sheet. This
would reduce the sensitivity of the GPS aer-
ial.
! Take care not to pull the aerial lead when
removing the GPS aerial. The magnet at-
tached to the aerial is very powerful, and
the lead may become detached.
! The GPS aerial is installed with a magnet.
When installing the GPS aerial, be careful
not to scratch the vehicle body.
! When installing the GPS aerial on the out-
side of the vehicle, always put it in the vehi-
cle when going through an automatic
vehicle wash. If it is left on the outside it
may be knocked off and scratch the vehicle
body.
! Do not paint the GPS aerial, as this may af-
fect its performance.
