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.

✵

This product is not a substitute for your 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.

✵

Glance at the monitor screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If
prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over in a safe and legal
manner and location.

✵

Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions
requiring a prolonged view of the monitor and/or remote control while you
are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner and location before at­tempting to access the system.

✵

Do not use the navigation system to route 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.

✵

The map database contained within the media (CD 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.

✵

The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions, it
does not take account 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.

2

✵

There may be situations where the navigation 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, pull over in a safe and legal
manner and location before attempting operation.

✵

Make certain that the volume level of the 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.

✵

Please make certain that any other person who intends on using the

navigation system reads these precautions and the following instructions
carefully.

✵

If there is anything in the manual which you 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.

Present vehicle position

The navigation system integrates the GPS signals
received and the map information stored on the CD
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 signal may
be blocked.

Present 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.

Waypoints

You specify points you wish
to pass by along the way to
your destination and they are
indicated with the waypoint
icons in the display.

waypoint icon

Memory points

Locations you go to
frequently can be stored into
memory and marked on the
map. The system can store
up to 100 points, including
your home.

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.

Uncorrected

Destination

The point on the map that is
your destination is specified
and displayed with the
destination icon.

Route

When a destination is input,
the navigation system
automatically calculates a
route and displays it in blue
on the map.

Tracking

The tracks indicate the roads
you have driven over with
blue dots. There is a limit on
the amount of memory
available for storing your
tracks (up to 31 miles/50 km).
When you exceed this
memory capacity, the tracks
are erased starting from the
earliest portion.

Track

Features

• Automatic Route Calculation

Just select the destination and your
navigation system does the rest,
automatically searching for the route you
need. When searching for the route, you
can select the route that gives priority to
motorways or ordinary roads.

• Real Time Voice Guide

A voice guide informs you of the distance
and direction until your course change,
giving advice timed to match road
conditions.
The VOICE button lets you call up the
voice guide when needed by just pushing
a button.

• Alternate Route Setting

Two types of route settings:

1.Quick setting of alternate routes when

traffic flow is obstructed.

2.Distance for altemate roundabout route

can be selected by driver (within 0.6 to
3 miles or 1 to 5 km).

Automatic or Manual Border Point

•

Setting

When you travel crossing the map
border, you can select the border point on
the road automatieally or manually as a
waypoint or a destination so as to make
the route searching easier across the
border.

Facilities/Services Information

•

Display

When you travel on motorways, the
navigation system automatically displays
facilities/services available in the vicinity
of the vehicle such as fuel, food, parking,
etc.

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.

• Direct Input of Street Name

Just input the street name (no need to
input the city name) to search for the
route to the street.

Sequence of Waypoints Can Be

•

Changed (Today's Plan)

Your navigation system can automatically
sort the sequence of the waypoints in
order of distance starting with the nearest
waypoint. Or you can manually change
the sequency of the wapoints in any order
as you like.

• 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 a Zoom button.

• Next Turn Guide

As you approach the place where you
actually have to turn about 1000 feet (300
metres) prior to the crossroad or junction,
the system informs you of which direction
you have to turn with voice and picture
guide.

Built-in Gyroscope and Speed

•

Sensors

The gyroscope for sensing direction and
the speed pulse sensor for detecting
distance provide data which allows
vehicle position and direction to be
displayed even in locations where the
GPS signal cannot be received such as
between buildings or in tunnels.

• Motorway Information Display

When you travel on motorways, the
guidance display (with an arrow)
automatically shows the distances to the
next fuel station/restaurant/parking/
junction (except exit).
