ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR USING THIS SYSTEM.
Failure to properly focus on the operation of your motor vehicle can result in death,
serious injury and property damage. This R5000 device should never be used at a time or
in a manner that distracts you from properly focusing on operation of the motor vehicle in

Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner and in full compliance with speed limits, road
safety signs and all other laws and devices, which regulate operation of a motor vehicle.
Be and remain aware of driving conditions at all times when using this system while
operating a motor vehicle.
Operation of this unit, including its camera, navigation, audio and other features can be
distracting to your operation of the motor vehicle. While the system is intended to provide
both entertainment and helpful vehicle and navigation information, it is not intended to,
nor should you allow it to distract you from properly focusing on operating the motor
vehicle in which it is installed. It is up to you to minimize or prevent such distraction.
Learn how to use this system before placing the vehicle in operation. Minimize the amount of
time spent viewing the screen of the unit while driving and use voice prompts whenever possible.
Do not attempt to adjust settings of the system or resolve any malfunction with it while driving.
Instead, pull off the road in a safe and legal manner and then adjust its settings or deal with any
malfunction. In the event of malfunction, disable the unit (turn power off or remove power from

sources, including information from street signs, visual sightings, and maps. Do not enter
destinations, change settings or access any functions requiring prol onged use of the controls of
the unit while operating your motor vehicle. For safety, pull off the road before making any
adjustments to the system or resolving any navigation discrepancies or questions.
