INTRODUCTION > CARING FOR YOUR NAVUS

Caring for Your Navus

The Navus is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning.

Cleaning the Touchscreen

The Navus touchscreen is intended primarily for finger operation. Although a PDA stylus may also be used to operate the touchscreen, never attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touchscreen or damage may result. Use a clean, dry lens cloth to remove dust from the touchscreen. Carefully wipe the display to prevent scratches. Water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner can be used if needed. If they are used, apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the touchscreen with the moistened cloth.
iv

Cleaning the Casing

The outer casing of your Navus is constructed of high quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the outer casing using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that may damage plastic components.
INTRODUCTION > SAFETY GUIDELINES

Safety Guidelines

Ensure that all persons read this manual carefully before using the navigation system. It contains instructions on how to use the system in a safe and effective manner.
WARNING: Please read and obey the following safety
precautions. Failure to do so may result in an accident involving injury or property damage.
• Consider practicing the unit’s operation by using the “simulator mode” prior to actual use. See page 8 for instructions.
• When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the Navus to all available navigation sources, including the information from other street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions that require prolonged use of the unit’s controls or remote control while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner and location before you attempt such operations.
1
• Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services such as police and fire stations or hospitals and clinics. Not all emergency service locations are contained in the database. Please use your judgment and ask for directions in such situations.
• When driving, minimize the amount of time you spend viewing the screen. Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over at a safe location.
• Road conditions and regulations take precedence over information contained on the map display. Observe actual traffic restrictions and circumstances while driving.
• Situations may occur where the navigation system erroneously displays the vehicle’s location. 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 automatically correct the vehicle’s position within a few minutes.
INTRODUCTION > SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Stop use immediately if a problem occurs. Failure to do so may cause injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized DaimlerChrysler dealer for service.
• Make certain the volume level of the monitor is set to a level that still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles.
• The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions and does not take into account the relative safety of a suggested route or factors that may affect the time required to reach your destination. The system does not reflect road closures or construction, road characteristics (such as type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions), traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors that may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your own personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.
• The map database supplied with the product contains the most
inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree. Because the map data may not be perfect, consider verifying the unit’s map with your actual surroundings to confirm that you are arriving at the exact destination.
• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. The Navus is a precision navigation system; any navigation system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
• This product is intended to be used only as a navigational aid and must not be used for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.
If you have any questions about the operation of the navigation system, please contact a local DaimlerChrysler dealer or call 1-800­800-1020.

NAVUS OPERATION

NAVUS OPERATION > LEARNING HOW TO USE THE MAP PAGE

Learning How to Use the Map Page

The Map page is one of your Navus’s main operating pages. This is the first page to appear after the startup pages, and it provides street detail as you navigate to a destination. The Map page contains many features, and most are available whether you are navigating a route or simply driving with your Navus turned on. Practice using these features before navigating an actual route so that you can quickly understand what you are seeing on the Map page and reduce the time spent looking away from the road while driving.
The images to the left show the sequence of messages that appear on the data tabs as the Navus locates satellites. The Navus might take a little longer to locate satellites when you turn it on for the first time.

Viewing the Map Page for the First Time

When you turn on your Navus, you see a map image and a tab that shows the Navus is attempting to locate satellites. Once your Navus locates the satellites, it establishes a “fix” on your location, and you are ready to navigate.
