Citroën is marketing a new NaviDrive system on the
C5 and C6 in first-quarter 2007, depending on
the country. The new-generation NaviDrive boasts enhanced graphics and leading-edge telematics and audio functions. The
system now includes a 30GB hard disk for
stocking maps and music. Still rare on the market, this technology sets remarkable standards of performance and is
thoroughly easy to use, in terms of both music
and GPS navigation functions.
The inclusion of a hard disk brings new
functionalities: - With maps of 30 European
countries stored in the memory drive, drivers have no need for CD-ROMs or DVDs. And journey times are much faster
to calculate. - The hard disk also features a
Juke-Box function that can store up to 180 hours of music, either partly or completely copied from audio and MP3 CDs.
Drivers can create playlists from titles stored on
the hard disk.
The GPS navigation function also
has two new modes: - Birdview mode displays a
3D colour map to make route reading clearer. -
Intersection mode shows a detailed image of the next crossroads when the
display is in fullscreen mode.
The new NaviDrive keeps all the telematics functions
of its predecessor (audio system and handsfree GSM
telephone), along with the following four additional services, free of charge
apart from the GSM subscription: - Citroën Emergency: Available 24/7 in
seven European countries, with Portugal and Austria to be added in 2007.
In the event of accident or illness,
this service can locate the vehicle via GPS and, depending
on the country, access the emergency services. This call can be made
automatically, in the event of impact, or by
pressing and holding down the “SOS” button. Drivers are
systematically addressed in their own language.
- Via Michelin traffic : 24/7 real-time information
on traffic and accidents. - Citroën
Assistance: In the event of an incident, drivers can contact the assistance
platform by pressing and holding down the
“double chevron” button. Citroën swiftly sends a
breakdown vehicle to the site of the incident.
