Hi, I'm sat indoors so this is from memory, and I'm a new C5 owner.

 

On your central dash board area there are buttons you press to display maps, audio, telephone ect on your central display.

 

One of these buttons (cant remember what its labelled) on one press

dims your display and on the second press kills all the fascia/dashboard lights other than the speedo (rather like a Saab)

 

Has this been pressed?

 

Regards

 

John :huh:

Yes I did press all buttons that should control the computer but all of them not working.

 

Problem solved after translating car German documentation by keeping the car key in M position (one position before engine start) for 30 minutes.

As they say this problem apear when low batery.

 

Now I'll be gratefull if anyone can advice me how to add new maps in car GPS sistem. For now I have only western europe and I'm intrested to add eastern europe maps

 

Thank you for your answer

You need to buy the CDs with the maps on them and swap them round in the CD drive for the Sat Nav, which is under the dashboard on the RHS of the steering wheel.
