Warnings

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in
an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.

The BMW Motorrad Navigator III must only be secured to BMW motorcycles
with holders approved by BMW Motorrad.

For use in or on other vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator
of the BMW Motorrad Navigator III to place and secure the unit so that it does
not interfere with vehicle operating controls or obstruct the driver’s view of the
road (see diagram). The mounting hardware provided by BMW Motorrad is not
warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.

Do not mount where

driver’s eld of vision

is blocked.

Do not mount in front of an airbag eld of deployment.

Tighten the security screw on the top of the motorcycle mount before driving
with the BMW Motorcycle Navigator III. Failure to tighten the screw could result
in the unit falling out of the mount that could cause bodily injury or property
damage in addition to damage to the unit.

It is the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a
safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and
not become distracted by the BMW Motorrad Navigator III to the exclusion of
safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the BMW Motorrad
Navigator III while you are riding or driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle
equipped with a BMW Motorrad Navigator III to pay full attention to operation

vehicle dashboard.

an accident with property damage and personal injury.
Using the BMW Motorrad Navigator III in no way relieves the driver of

responsibility. The currently valid trafc regulations must always be observed. Be
aware of the current trafc situation at all times. It is more important to observe
the road trafc than look at the display. If the current trafc situation and the
information of the BMW Motorrad Navigator III are conicting, the currently
valid trafc regulations and the current trafc situation always have priority over

the information given by the BMW Motorrad Navigator III.
For road safety reasons, enter details in the Navigator III before starting the

journey or with the motorcycle stationary. Only look at the display if the trafc
situation allows it; it is more important to observe the trafc and keep your hands

on the handlebars. Otherwise, stop at a suitable location and look at the display
with the motorcycle stationary.

Use the BMW Motorrad Navigator III at your own risk. To reduce the risk of
unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this reference
guide and thoroughly practice safe operation using the simulator mode prior
to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the
BMW Motorrad Navigator III to all available navigation sources, including the

information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, resolve

any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
Your BMW Motorrad Navigator III is equipped with a “Safe Mode” feature to

improve driver safety. This feature is enabled by default. When your vehicle is
moving, Safe Mode disables certain functions of the BMW Motorrad Navigator

III that require signicant operator attention and may become a distraction to use

while driving.
