Precautions
PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
This product is intended to safely provide
turn by turn instruction to get you to a
desired destination. Please read the following precautions to ensure that you use your
navigation system correctly.
LL
L This product is not a substitute for your
LL
personal judgment. Any route suggestions
made by the navigation system may never
supersede any local traffic regulations or
your personal judgment and/or knowledge
of safe driving practices. Do not follow
route suggestions if the navigation system
instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal
maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation,
or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.
LL
L Glance at the monitor screen only when
LL
necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged
viewing of the screen is necessary, stop the
vehicle in a safe and legal manner and
location.
LL
L Do not input destinations, change settings,
LL
or access any functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor and/or remote
control while you are driving. Stop the
vehicle in a safe and legal manner and
location before attempting to access the
system.
LL
L Do not use the navigation system to route
LL
you to emergency services. Not all locations
of emergency service providers such as
police and fire stations, hospitals, and
clinics are contained in the database. Please
use your own judgment and your ability to
ask for directions in these situations.
LL
L The map database contained within the
LL
media (DVD ROM) in which it is stored is
the most recent map data available at the
time of production. Because of changes in
streets and neighbourhoods, there may be
situations where the navigation system may
not be able to route you to your desired
destination. In these cases, use your own
personal judgment.
2
LL
L The map database is designed to provide you
LL
with route suggestions, it does not take
account of the relative safety of a suggested
route, or of factors which may affect the time
required to reach your destination. The
database does not reflect road closures or
construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of
road surface, slope or grade, weight or height
restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather
conditions, or any other factors which may
affect the safety or timing of your driving
experience. Use your personal judgment if
the navigation system is unable to provide
you with an alternate route.
LL
L There may be situations where the naviga-
LL
tion system may display the vehicle's
location erroneously. Use your own driving
judgment in this situation, taking into
account current driving conditions. Please
be aware that in this situation, the navigation system should correct the vehicle's
position automatically; however, there may
be times where you may have to correct the
position yourself. If this is the case, stop the
vehicle in a safe and legal manner and
location before attempting operation.
LL
L Make certain that the volume level of the
LL
monitor is set to a level which still allows
you to hear outside traffic and emergency
vehicles. Driving while unable to hear
outside sounds could cause an accident.
LL
L Please make certain that any other person
LL
who intends on using the navigation system
reads these precautions and the following
instructions carefully.
LL
L If there is anything in the manual which you
LL
do not understand, or are uncertain about the
operation of the navigation system, please
contact an authorized Alpine representative
before using the navigation system.

Preface
Navigation terminology
Navigation
The navigation system displays and tracks the
vehicle's position and movement on a moving map
display. When a destination is input, the navigation
system quickly calculates a route and guides you
along the route with pictorial displays and voice
prompts.
Current vehicle position
The navigation system integrates the GPS (Global
Positioning Satellite) signals received and the map
information stored on the DVD ROM to display the
position and direction of the vehicle. The system
also includes a gyroscope and a speed sensor that
enable it to display the present position even in
locations where the GPS signals may be blocked.
Current vehicle
position
Map matching
Since GPS navigation has an error of 100 – 655 feet
(30 m – 200 m), the position of your vehicle may be
displayed off the road. Map matching automatically
corrects this error so that the position of your vehicle
is displayed on the road.
Road preference setting
You can set your preferred road on the route to the
destination for up to 2 places if your local knowledge
helps.
Memory points
Locations you go to frequently
can be stored into memory and
marked on the map. The
system can store up to 200
points, excluding your home.
You can add icons at the
memory points so that the
system also displays the
icons on the map.
Memory point mark
Motorway-preference selection
When searching for routes with the navigation
system, you can switch between searching for
routes that give priority to motorways and those that
give priority to ordinary roads. When you specify
motorway preference, the navigation system
automatically searches for a route that gives priority
to motorways and guides you along that route.
Destination
The point on the map that is
your destination is specified
and displayed with the
destination icon. You can set
up to 5 destinations for the
same journey.
Route
When a destination is input,
the navigation system
automatically calculates a
route and displays it in blue
on the map.
6
Destination icon
Route
(Blue)
Features
• Automatic Route Calculation
Just select the destination and your navigation
system does the rest, automatically searching for
the route you need.
• Real Time Voice Guide
A voice guide informs you of the distance and
direction until your course changes, giving advice
timed to match road conditions.
The VOICE button lets you repeat the last voice
guide when needed by just pushing the button.
• Dual-screen Display
Two different maps or guidance screens can be
displayed simultaneously. For example, the map
screen and the arrow-guide screen, or the map
screen and the motorway screen.
• Direct Inputting of Phone
Number
By inputting the phone number of a place or a
memory point you have stored, the system can
search for it as the destination.
• Voice Guidance at an Exit or
Junction on Motorways
When you approach an exit or junction on the
motorway, the system gives you voice guidance
using the same name as shown on the road
signboards.
• Eight Languages Selectable for
the Voice Guidance
You can choose one of the eight languages
(German, English, French, Italian, Dutch, Swedish,
Spanish or Danish) for the voice route guidance.
• Multiple-Destination Setting
You can set up to 5 destinations in any order you
like for the same journey.
• Intersection Zoom
As you near intersections and cross points, the
map display automatically zooms in to show a
more detailed view that you will need. This means
there is no need to press the zoom buttons.
• Built-in Gyroscope and Speed
Sensors
The gyroscope for sensing direction and the speed
pulse sensor for detecting distance provide data
which allows the vehicle position and direction to be
displayed even in locations where the GPS signals
cannot be received such as between high buildings
or in tunnels.
• Motorway Information Display
When you travel on motorways, the basic guidance
display (with an arrow) automatically shows the
distances to the next fuel station/restaurant/parking/
junction (except exit).
EN
• Map Zooming
You can change the map display in 13 magnification
scales (50,100, 200, 400, 800, 1K, 3K, 6K, 10K,
20K, 50K, 100K and 200K metres) to show more
detailed or wider views by pressing the 3 or 4
button on the remote control.
• Direct Input of Name of Place of
Interest
Input only the name of a place of interest (without
inputting the city name) to search for the route to
the place of interest.
