Safety Precautions

When using this navigation system, follow the precautions listed below. After reading this manual, be sure to keep it in a handy place (such as the glove box of your car).

Warnings

• This navigation system should not be used as a substitute for your own judgment. Any route suggestions made by this navigation system may never override any local traffic regulations, your own judgment, and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Disregard route suggestions by the navigation system if such suggestions would: cause you to perform a hazardous or illegal maneuver, place you in a hazardous situation, or route you into an area you consider unsafe.

• The advice provided by the navigation system is to be regarded only as a suggestion(s)/ There may be situations where the navigation system displays the vehicle’s location incorrectly, fails to suggest the shortest course, and/or fails to direct you to your desired destination. In such situations, rely on your own driving judgment, taking into account current driving conditions.

• Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services. The database does not contain a complete listing of locations of emergency service providers such as police, fire stations, hospitals and clinics. Please use your judgment and your ability to ask for directions in these situations.

• As a driver you are solely responsible for your road safety.

• In order to avoid a traffic accident or traffic offence, remember that actual road conditions

and traffic regulations take precedence over the information contained in the navigation system.

• Accordingly, the software may contain inaccurate or incomplete information due to the passage of time, changing circumstances, and due to the nature of the sources used. Please observe the actual traffic circumstances and regulations at all times while driving.

• The navigation system does not provide, or account for in any way; information regarding traffic and road laws; vehicle specifications including weight, height, width, load, and/or speed restrictions; road conditions including road slope, grade, and/or surface conditions; obstruction information including bridge and tunnel height and width, and/or other prevailing driving and/or road conditions. Always rely on your own driving judgment, taking into account current driving conditions.

• Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving.

• The driver should not operate this unit while driving.

Be sure to stop the vehicle in a safe place when the driver is operating this unit. For safety, some of the navigation functions are prohibited if the vehicle is not stopped with the parking brake engaged.

Cautions

CAUTION
