We recommend that you wait until the positioning stabilizes
before starting to drive.
If you start to drive while the positioning is not complete,
the indicated position may differ from the actual vehicle
position.
The screens shown in this manual may differ from the actual
screens depending on the data type or when the map data
was created.
When maps are created, land surveys are conducted
and information on road improvements and reopening
is collected to provide the most accurate information
possible. However, modications to roads, place names and
facilities may be carried out at any time. Consequently, we
cannot guarantee that map data contains no errors in road

system, be sure to drive by following the actual trafc
regulations. If you drive by following only the route guidance
of the navigation system, you may violate the actual trafc
regulations and cause a trafc accident.
l To ensure safety, the driver should not operate the navigation
system while driving. Operating the navigation system while
driving may result in an accidental steering wheel operation
or otherwise cause an accident. Stop the vehicle before
operating the navigation system. Also, do not watch the
screen while driving because doing so may be dangerous
(ETC). Inattention to road conditions ahead may result in an
accident.
l The driver should not perform operations such as volume
adjustment while driving. Inattention to road conditions ahead
may result in an accident, so be sure to stop the vehicle in a
safe place before performing the operation.

CAUTION
INTRODUCTION
l Always replace fuses with fuses of the same specied
capacity (amperage). Using a fuse with a higher capacity than
the specication may result in a re.
l If a foreign object or water enters the unit, smoke or a strange
odor may be emitted. If such an abnormality occurs, stop
using the unit immediately and contact your SUBARU dealer.
An accident, re or electric shock may result if you continue to
use the unit under these conditions.

Lightning may cause an electric shock.
l Do not park or stop in prohibited areas to use the unit.
l If direct sunlight shines into the vehicle, light may reect off
the product. Be very careful while driving.
l Never use headphones or earphones while driving. Driving
while not being able to hear sounds from outside the vehicle
may result in a trafc accident.
lAlthough the unit can be used when the ignition switch is set
to either “ACC” or “ON” position, to protect the battery, start
the engine before using the unit.
lDo not use the unit anywhere other than in a vehicle. Doing so
may result in an electric shock or other injury.
lWhile driving, keep the volume low enough for you to hear
outside sounds. Driving while not being able to hear sounds
from outside the vehicle may result in an accident.
lBe careful of the volume when turning on the power. If a loud
noise is emitted suddenly when you turn on the power, it may
damage your hearing.
lDo not apply a strong force to the display. Doing so may result
in a malfunction.
lDo not put your ngers or hands into the disc slot. Doing so
may result in an injury.
lDo not touch the hot parts of the unit. The hot parts may burn
you.
lDo not use while there is an abnormality such as sound
breakup or distortion. Doing so may result in a re.
lUsing the unit during extremely high or low temperature may
result in mistaken operation or a malfunction. In particular, the
temperature inside the vehicle can often rise to a high level
during the summer. Cool the vehicle, for example by opening
a window, before using the unit.
lBe careful if metal or water enters the unit, or the unit is
exposed to a strong impact, because it may result in a
malfunction.

NOTE
NOTE
INTRODUCTION
lIf juice or similar liquid is spilled on the display, wipe
off immediately. Failure to do so may result in product
malfunction.
lThe screen is easily marked by ngerprints and tends to
attracts dust, and should therefore be cleaned occasionally.
When cleaning, turn off the power, and wipe lightly with a soft,
dry cloth. To remove dirt, soak a soft cloth in neutral detergent
and squeeze well before wiping. Do not use a wet oor-cloth,
organic solvents (benzene, ethanol, thinner, etc.), acids, or
alkalis. Using such agents will result in screen deterioration.
Furthermore, do not hit the screen or rub it with hard objects.
lSUBARU CORPORATION is not responsible for any damages
to the purchaser or third parties that occur from using the map
data.
lWe do not provide any replacements or refunds for any mistakes
there may be in the map data displays or contents, such as
misspelling, omissions or misaligned positions.
lSUBARU CORPORATION makes no guarantee that the
functions included in the map data will be appropriate for the
specic objectives of the purchaser.
lFunctions that cannot be operated while driving have their colors
toned down when the vehicle is being driven, and their operation
is disabled. Touching a disabled switch may result in the display
of an operation prohibited message on the screen.
lDuring strong vibrations, such as when driving on a poor road
surface, the unit may no longer be able to read the data from the
disc, and it will not operate correctly. When the vibration lessens,
normal operation will return after a short time.
lImmediately after turning on the heater when the temperature
is low, dew (water drops) may adhere to the lens of the CD
reader (condensation). If this happens, leaving the unit for about
an hour should remove the condensation and return the unit to
normal operation.
If the unit does not return to normal operation even after several
hours, contact your SUBARU dealer.
lWhen using the unit for the rst time after purchase, or after
the battery was removed for a long time, the current position
may not be displayed correctly. Wait a short time until the GPS
positioning corrects the displayed position.
lThis device is precision-engineered equipment and the recorded
data can be lost as a result of static electricity, electrical noise,
vibration, or other inuences. To protect the device against data
loss, we recommend keeping a separate record of the data that
you record after purchase.
lThe screen may be adversely affected or disturbed by noise if
electrical equipment that generates powerful electrical noise
is used near the system. In such cases, keep the electrical
equipment at a distance, or refrain from use.

NOTE
INTRODUCTION
lThe display may appear brighter when the temperature is low,
or immediately after starting the engine, however, this is a
characteristic of the LED elements, and does not indicate a fault.
The display will return to its original brightness when the vehicle
cabin has warmed up.
lWhen you look at the screen through polarized material such
as polarized sunglasses, the screen may be dark and hard to
see. If so, look at the screen from different angles, adjust the
screen settings on the general settings screen or take off your
sunglasses.
lIt may be difcult to view the screen if the display is exposed to
sunlight from an awkward angle.
lThe LCD screen may not function normally if covered with a
protective lm. Do not afx a protective lm.
lThe touch panel may function incorrectly or fail to respond if
operated with objects other than ngers (nails, operation when
wearing gloves, pens, etc.)
lWhen inserting or removing CDs, take care not to touch the
touch panel. The touch panel will respond if inadvertently
touched by hand.
lIf the system functions unexpectedly such as an area other than
the one touched being selected, or failure to respond when
touched, there is a possibility that another nger or part of the
hand is in contact with display.
lScratches on the system panel surface are easily noticeable,
and it should therefore be handled with care.
