an aid to you in the operation of your vehicle. It
is not a substitute for your attentiveness,
judgement, and care when driving.

• Do not operate this Navigation System if doing
so in any way will divert your attention from the
safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe
safe driving rules and follow all existing traffic

• The data encoded in the disc for this product is
the intellectual property of the provider, and
the provider is responsible for such content.
