Read this manual carefully before starting to operate the Kenwood Car Navigation System and
follow the manual's instructions. Kenwood are not liable for problems or accidents resulting from
failure to observe the instructions in this manual.
■ OBSERVE LOCAL TRAFFIC SIGNS AND REGULATIONS.
Always observe the local traffic signs and regulations whilst driving and check them against
the system's instructions.
and regulation data on the Map DVD-ROM may be outdated. Furthermore the Map DVD-ROM
cannot reckon with certain conditions such as traffic density at certain times of the day, (temporary)
road closures due to construction work, weather conditions or special events taking place.
Therefore always obey the local traffic signs and regulations rather than the system's
instructions. Failure to do so may place you in illegal, unsafe or dangerous situations.
■ DRIVE SAFELY.
Before following the system's guidance instructions, such as changes in direction, always
check first whether it is safe to do so given the current traffic conditions.
given instructions, but make sure you do so in a safe manner.
■ VOLUME LEVEL.
Keep the system's volume at a low enough level to be able to hear outside noises whilst driving. If
you can no longer hear outside noises, you may be unable to react adequately to the traffic
situation. This may cause accidents.
Due to frequent changes in local signs and regulations, the traffic sign
Then follow the
■ FOREIGN OBJECTS.
Keep fingers and foreign objects out of the disc-loading slot, so as not to cause accidents. In the
event of there being foreign objects inside the unit, or smoke or noxious odours coming out, stop
operation immediately and contact the closest Kenwood dealer.
■ STOP OPERATION IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS.
In event of problems such as a lack of sound or video occurring, stop
operation and push the reset button. Should the problems persist, stop
operation of the system and contact the closest Kenwood dealer.
■ NEVER DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Never try to disassemble or alter the navigation equipment. Any attempt to do so may cause
accidents, fire or electric shock.
■ REPLACING FUSES.
When replacing fuses always use the same rated ampere. Failure to do so may cause fire.
■ SMALL ARTICLES.
Keep small articles (like screws or batteries) out of the reach of children. If any such object is
accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

Before Use
■ Start the car engine before use
This mobile navigation system can be used when the ignition key is turned to ON
or ACC. However, to preserve the battery, it should be used with the engine
running whenever possible. Using the navigation system for a long time with the
engine switched off can cause the battery to run down.
■ Time before current position is displayed
The mobile navigation system will not display the correct current position of the
vehicle the first time it is used after purchase, or if the battery has been removed
for a long time. GPS positioning signals will soon be received, however, and the
correct position will be displayed.
■ Reading programmes after the battery has been turned off
The navigation programmes will be deleted if the battery is removed for repairs,
etc. If this happens, set the map disc provided into the mobile navigation system
and switch on the engine. The mobile navigation system will automatically load
the programmes and start operating normally again.
■ When driving on rough roads
The mobile navigation system might not operate properly or be able to read map
data from the disc if there is severe vibration caused by driving on rough roads.
■ Handling the GPS antenna
• Do not paint the antenna. This will impair or disable signal reception.
• Remove any object or accumulated snow, etc., from the top of the antenna. It
will reduce reception strength.
• Do not pull the cord when removing the antenna or adjusting its position. This
can cause a short or snap the wires.
■ Operating whilst driving
The GPS voice navigation system displays the switches disabled during driving in
fainter colours. These switches stop functioning and no message is displayed.
■ Precautions for handling precision machines
Be careful of the surrounding temperature. Using the mobile navigation system at
extremely high or low temperatures can lead to malfunction or damage.
Also note that the unit can be damaged by strong vibration or by metal objects or
water getting inside.
■ Condensation
Condensation can form on the lens inside the main unit just after the car heater is
switched on in cold weather, for example, leading to malfunction. The main unit
will start working normally again if it is just left alone for about one hour for this
condensation to go away. If normal operation is not restored after several hours,
return the main unit to the store where you purchased the mobile navigation
system.
■ Map disc
Always replace the map disc with another compatible map disc. Never insert an
incompatible disc. It can damage the main unit.

ENGLISH
Precautions when Handling Map Discs
• Data recorded on a disc is read by laser beam, so there is no wearing of the disc due
to friction from a needle. You should handle discs carefully, however, as excessive
warping or scratches on the disc surface or label can lead to reading errors.
• Store discs away from direct sunlight.
The disc might warp and become
unusable.
• If you touch the data surface of a disc
(the surface without a label printed on
it) it might get dirty and lead to a
malfunction. Always hold a disc either
by its centre hole and an edge or by
two edges.
• Lightly wipe the disc with a soft cloth in
a straight line from the centre of the
disc towards the outer edge.
• Never clean discs with benzene,
thinners, record spray, anti-static spray
or chemical swabs.
• Do not write on, or stick paper or seals
onto, the surface of a disc.
• Map discs rotate at high speed inside
the main unit. Do not use a cracked or
badly warped disc, therefore, because
it might damage the main unit.

Set Route
Route Searching
Here we explain how to set the route. Follow the example below.
CAUTION!
The mobile navigation system provides maps and voice guidance for your reference
when driving. In unusual situations, however, this guidance might be in appropriate.
When driving along the route provided, always comply with local traffic regulations
(one-way streets, etc.).
NOTE :
• The route shown is a reference route as far as the destination area. It might not be the
shortest route.
• If the street on the map disc does not agree with the actual street, the voice guidance
might be wrong.
• At a complicated junction, it might be difficult to understand where to turn from only
the voice guidance. Stop the vehicle and check the Map screen.
• If a destination or way points are not on a road that the mobile navigation system can
direct to, the route provided might not pass that destination or way points.
• The mobile navigation system might not be able to provide directions due to the
distance from the destination area or a lack of road data.
• If the current position cannot be determined properly, voice guidance and enlarged
junction diagrams will be disabled or might be incorrect.
