Important Safety Information

Before using your Navigation System, be sure to
read and fully understand the following safety
information:

Read the entire manual before operating this
Navigation System.

The navigation features of this unit are
intended solely as an aid to you in the opera­tion of your vehicle. They are not substitutes
for your attentiveness, judgment, 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 regulations. If you experi­ence difficulty in operating the system or read­ing the display, park your vehicle in a safe
location and apply the parking brake before
making the necessary adjustments.

Never allow others to use the system unless
they have read and understood the operating
instructions.

Never use this Navigation System to route to
hospitals, police stations, or similar facilities
in an emergency. Please call 911.

Route and guidance information displayed by
this equipment is for reference purposes only.
It may not accurately reflect the latest permis­sible routes, road conditions, one way streets,
road closures, or traffic restrictions.

Traffic restrictions and advisories currently in
force should always take precedence over
guidance given by this product. Always obey
current traffic restrictions, even if this product
provides contrary advice.

Failure to input correct information about the
local time may result in the product providing
improper routing and guidance instructions.

Never set the volume of your Navigation Sys­tem so high that you cannot hear outside traf­fic and emergency vehicles.

To promote safety, certain functions are dis­abled unless the parking brake is applied.

Keep this manual handy as a reference for
operating procedures and safety information.

Pay close attention to all warnings in this
manual and follow the instructions carefully.

Do not install the display and the navigation
unit where it may (i) obstruct the driver’s
vision, (ii) impair the performance of any of
the vehicle’s operating systems or safety fea­tures, including air bags, hazard lamp buttons
or (iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely oper­ate the vehicle.

Please remember to wear your seat belt at all
times while operating your vehicle. If you are

Appendix

Handling and Care of the Disc

Some basic precautions are necessary when
handling your discs.

Discs you can use

• Do not use discs other than those intended for this
product. Use only discs approved by Pioneer.

DVD-ROM drive and care

• Use only normal, round discs, if you insert irregular,
non-round, shaped discs they may jam in the DVD­ROM drive or not play properly.

• Check all discs for cracks, scratches or warping before
playing. Discs that have cracks, scratches or are warp­ing may not play properly. Do not use such discs.

• Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed side) surface
when handling the disc.

• Store discs in their cases when not in use.

• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not expose the
discs to high temperatures.

• Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to
the surface of the discs.

• To clean dirt from a disc, wipe the disc with a soft cloth
outward from the center of the disc.

Ambient conditions for playing disc

• At extremely high temperatures, a temperature cutout
protects the Navigation System by switching it off
automatically.

• Despite our careful design of the product, as a result
of mechanical wear, ambient conditions for use, or
handling of the disc, small scratches that do not affect
actual operation may appear on the disc surface. This
is not a sign of the malfunction of the unit. Consider it
to be normal wear and tear.

Appendix

Resetting the System

On occasion, you may need to reset your Naviga­tion System.

➲ For details, refer to “About the Data being

Deleted” in “Operation Manual”.

When a reset is necessary

You should reset the system in the following situations:

• After installation of this unit in your vehicle.

• If there appear to be problems with the operation of
the system.

• If there are problems with the display.

• When changing the combination of the equipment.

Using the reset button

The reset button is recessed in the front of the main unit
to prevent it being pressed accidentally. Look for it at the
top right-hand corner of the front panel.
Insert a pointed implement such as a ballpoint pen into
the small hole and push.

• If the heater is used in cold weather, moisture may
form on components inside the DVD-ROM drive. Con­densation may cause the DVD-ROM drive to not oper­ate properly. If you think that condensation is a
problem turn off the DVD-ROM drive for an hour or so
to allow the DVD-ROM drive to dry out and wipe any
damp discs with a soft cloth to remove the moisture.

• Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.

Reset button

If you have connected other equipment (for example, a
display or AV Head Unit) to this by cable, be sure to reset
that equipment too.
