Safety Precautions and Important Information

Read this information carefully before starting to
operate the Kenwood Car Navigation System and
follow the instructions in this manual. Neither
Kenwood nor Garmin® shall be liable for problems
or accidents resulting from failure to observe the
instructions in this manual.

2WARNINGS

To prevent injury or fire, take the following
precautions:

• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any
metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside
the unit.

• Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit’s display
when you are driving for any extended period.

• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and
experience. The mounting and wiring should be
done by professionals.

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

When navigating, carefully compare information
displayed on the navigation system to all available
navigation sources, including information from
street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety,
always resolve any discrepancies or questions
before continuing navigation.

Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Do not become distracted by the navigation
system while driving, and always be fully aware
of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount of
time spent viewing the screen of the navigation
system while driving, and use voice prompts when
possible.

Do not enter destinations, change settings, or
access any functions requiring prolonged use of
the navigation system controls while driving. Stop
your vehicle in a safe and legal manner before
attempting such operations.

Keep the system volume at a low-enough level to
be able to hear outside noises while driving. If you
can no longer hear outside noises, you may be
unable to react adequately to the traffic situation.
This may cause accidents.

The navigation system will not display the correct
current position of the vehicle the first time it is
used after purchase, or if the vehicle battery is
disconnected. GPS satellite signals will soon be
received, however, and the correct position will be
displayed.

Be careful of the ambient temperature. Using the
navigation system at extreme temperatures can
lead to malfunction or damage. Also note that the
unit can be damaged by strong vibration, by metal
objects, or by water getting inside the unit.

2CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING

This product, its packaging, and its components
contain chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive
harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance
with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any
questions or would like additional information,
please refer to our Web site at www.garmin.com
/prop65.

2CAUTIONS

Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations may result in injury
or property damage.

The navigation system is designed to provide you
with route suggestions. It does not reflect road
closures or road conditions, weather conditions, or
other factors that may affect safety or timing while
driving.

Use the navigation system only as a navigational
aid. Do not attempt to use the navigation system
for any purpose requiring precise measurement of
direction, distance, location, or topography.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated
by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
government system is subject to changes that
could affect the accuracy and performance of all
GPS equipment, including the navigation system.
Although the navigation system is a precision
navigation device, any navigation device can be
misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become
unsafe.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Vehicle Battery Preservation

This navigation system can be used when the
ignition key is turned to ON or ACC. To preserve the
battery, however, 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.

Using ecoRoute™

The ecoRoute feature calculates your vehicle fuel economy, carbon footprint, the fuel price of navigating to
a destination, and offers tools for improving fuel efficiency.

Setting up ecoRoute

Touch Tools > ecoRoute.

The data provided by the ecoRoute feature is
only an estimate. The data is not actually read
from your vehicle. To receive more-accurate
fuel reports for your specific vehicle and driving
habits, calibrate the fuel economy.

The first time you access the ecoRoute features,
you will be asked to enter fuel and mileage
information about your vehicle.

Viewing the Fuel Report

If you have entered your vehicle profile and
the current fuel price, your navigation system
calculates the average fuel economy for your
vehicle, your carbon footprint, and the cost of the
fuel consumed.

The fuel consumption data is based on estimates
for speed and acceleration for an average vehicle.

Touch Tools > ecoRoute > Fuel Report.

⁄

• To ensure that fuel data is always recorded, keep your
navigation system turned on while driving.

Calibrating the Fuel Economy

Calibrate the fuel economy to receive more­accurate fuel reports for your specific vehicle and
driving habits. Calibrate when you fill up your fuel
tank.

1 Calculate your miles per gallon or liters per

100 kilometers (enter information based
on prompt).

2 Touch Tools > ecoRoute > Fuel Report >

Calibrate.

3 Touch and to enter the result from

step 1.

Taking the ecoChallenge

Touch Tools > ecoRoute > ecoChallenge > Start.

The ecoChallenge tool helps you maximize your
fuel economy by scoring your driving habits. The
higher your overall score for a Driving Challenge,
the more fuel you could save.

Your overall score is the average of three scores:

• Acceleration score—gain points for gradual

acceleration; lose points for rapid acceleration.

• Deceleration score—gain points for gradual braking;

lose points for hard braking.

• Speed score—gain points for driving at the best speed

for conserving fuel, which is 45–60 mph (72–97 km/h) for
most vehicles.

Adjusting Your Vehicle Profile

Touch Tools > ecoRoute > Vehicle Profile.

Viewing the Mileage Report

Mileage reports provide the distance, the time,
the average fuel economy, and the fuel cost of
navigating to a destination.

A mileage report is created for every route that
you drive. If you stop a route on your navigation
system, a mileage report is created for the
distance you traveled.

1 Touch Tools > ecoRoute > Mileage Report.

Traffic Information

Using an optional FM traffic receiver, the navigation system can receive and use traffic information. When
a traffic message is received, you can see the event on the map and change your route to avoid the traffic
incident.

Understanding FM TMC Traffic

FM TMC traffic receivers receive traffic information
that is broadcast over the FM Radio Data System.
The FM TMC subscription activates automatically
after your navigation system acquires satellite
signals while receiving traffic signals from the
service provider. You can add other FM TMC
subscriptions at any time. Check the Garmin
Web site at www.garmin.com/fmtraffic for other
available services.

Traffic in Your Area

When you are receiving traffic information, a
traffic icon appears in the upper-left corner of
the Map page. The traffic icon changes color to
indicate the severity of traffic conditions on your
route or on the road you are currently traveling.

Color Description Meaning

Green Low severity Traffic is flowing

not updated.

If a non-severe traffic delay occurs on your route,
the traffic icon shows how much time the delay
has added to your route. This time is already
included in your estimated arrival time.

To manually avoid traffic on your route:

1 On the Map page, touch the traffic icon.

2 Touch Traffic On Route.

3 Touch the arrows to view other traffic

delays on your route, if necessary.

4 Touch Avoid to avoid the traffic delay.

Viewing the Traffic Map

The traffic map shows color-coded traffic flow
and delays on nearby roads.

1 On the Map page, touch the traffic icon.

2 Touch Show Traffic Map to view the traffic

incidents on a map.

⁄

• To return to the normal map from the traffic map, touch

the traffic icon, and touch Show Normal Map.

Viewing Traffic Delays

Traffic on Your Route

When calculating your route, the navigation
system examines the current traffic and
automatically optimizes the route for the
fastest time, shortest distance, less fuel, or off
road. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your
route while you are navigating, the navigation
system automatically recalculates the route. You
might still be routed through traffic if no better
alternative routes exist.
