Warni ng

: Traffic laws and current traffic conditions must always be observed and take precedence over the instructions issued by the navigation
system. The user should be aware of situations where current traffic conditions and the instructions from the navigation system may be in
conflict. The use of the navigation system does not relieve the user of his/her responsibilities. The user is ultimately responsible for the vehicle
under his/her control and should be aware of the surroundings at all times. For traffic safety reasons, it is recommended that routes should be
planned in a stationary vehicle before starting a trip.

Privacy

: Operation of the navigation system requires that the user's position be sent to a central server for use in certain MotoExtras features
of MOTONAV. The server is operated by Airbiquity, Inc., a Motorola-approved service provider (www.airbiquity.com). This information will only
be used to provide the requested service and will not be shared with any additional third parties. Users who prefer not to permit such tracking
and monitoring should avoid using the navigation system.

safety

first, a few rules to live by...

Using any device while driving may cause distraction. It is important to look at the display only when it
is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, plan the route before your departure and stop if you
need to change the route.

Using a mobile device or accessory may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Always obey the

ws and regulations on the use of these products.

la

Do not place your MOTONAV where it obstructs the driver's vision or where it covers an airbag.

Note:
