IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING YOUR NAVIGA­TION SYSTEM AND RETAIN THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

1. Read this manual fully and carefully before installing your Navigation System.

2. Keep this manual handy for future reference.

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

4. This Navigation System may in certain circumstances display erroneous informa­tion regarding the position of your vehicle, the distance of objects shown on the
screen, and compass directions. In addition, the system has certain limitations,
including the inability to identify one-way streets, temporary traffic restrictions
and potentially unsafe driving areas. Please exercise your own judgment in the
light of actual driving conditions.

5. As with any accessory in your vehicle’s interior, the Navigation System should
not divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. If you experi­ence difficulty in operating the system or reading the display, please make adjust­ments while safely parked.

6. Please remember to wear your seat belt at all times while operating your vehicle.
If you are ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe if
your seat belt is not properly buckled.

• Do not attempt to install or service your Navigation System by yourself.
Installation or servicing of the Navigation System by persons without train­ing and experience in electronic equipment and automotive accessories may
be dangerous and could expose you to the risk of electric shock or other haz­ards.

3

Connecting the System

• Pioneer does not recommend that you install your Navigation System your­self. We recommend that only authorized Pioneer service personnel, who
have special training and experience in mobile electronics, set up and install
the unit. NEVER SERVICE THE UNIT YOURSELF. Installing or servicing
the unit and its connecting cables may expose you to the risk of electric shock
or other hazards, and can cause damage to the Navigation System that is not
covered by warranty.

• If you decide to perform the installation yourself, and have special training
and experience in the mobile electronics installations, please carefully follow
all of the steps in the Installation Manual.

• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. Do not allow any bare
wiring to remain exposed.

• Do not directly connect the yellow lead of the unit to the vehicle battery. If
the lead is directly connected to the battery, engine vibration may eventually
cause the insulation to fail at the point where the wire passes from the pas­senger compartment into the engine compartment. If the yellow lead’s insu­lation tears as a result of contact with metal parts, short-circuiting can occur,
resulting in considerable danger.

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS

• It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS antenna cable or microphone
cable to become wound around the steering column or shift lever. Be sure to
install the unit, its cables, and wiring away in such a way that they will not
obstruct or hinder driving.

• Make sure that the cables and wires are routed and secured so they will not
interfere with or become caught in any of the vehicle’s moving parts, espe­cially the steering wheel, shift lever, parking brake, sliding seat tracks, doors,
or any of the vehicle’s controls.

• Do not route wires where they will be exposed to high temperatures. If the
insulation heats up, wires may become damaged, resulting in a short circuit
or malfunction and permanent damage to the product.

• Do not cut the GPS antenna cable to shorten it or use an extension to make it
longer. Altering the antenna cable could result in a short circuit or malfunc­tion.

ITALIANO NEDERLANDS

Connecting the System

• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse
resister or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.

• Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the Navigation System and tapping into the lead. The
current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

5

Connecting the System

Before installing the unit

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Check the battery
voltage of your vehicle before installation.

• To avoid shorts in the electrical sys­tem, be sure to disconnect the (–) bat­tery cable before beginning installa­tion.

To prevent damage

• When disconnecting a connector, pull the connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as you
may pull it out of the connector.

• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the
ignition switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected to a terminal coupled with
ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery may be
drained when you are away from the vehicle for several hours.

• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape.

• Attach the connectors of the same color to the corresponding colored port, i.e., yellow
connector to the yellow port, black to black, etc.

• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of highcur­rent products such as power amps.
Do not ground more than one product together with the ground from another product.
For example, you must separately ground any amplifier unit away from the ground of
this unit. Connecting grounds together can cause a fire and/or damage the products if
their grounds became detached.

• When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only a fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse
holder.

Installation

• Pioneer does not recommend that you install or service your Navigation
System yourself. Installing or servicing the product may expose you to risk of
electric shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your
navigation unit to authorized Pioneer service personnel.

• Never install the unit in places, or in a manner that where:
* It could injure the driver or passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
* It may interfere with the driver’s operation of the vehicle, such as on the

floor in front of the driver’s seat, or close to the steering wheel or shift
lever.

• Make sure there is nothing behind the dashboard or paneling when drilling
holes in them. Be careful not to damage fuel lines, brake lines, electronic
components, communication wires or power cables.

• When using screws, do not allow them to come into contact with any electri­cal lead. Vibration may damage wires or insulation, leading to a short circuit
or other damage to the vehicle.

• To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified.
If any parts other than the supplied ones are used, they may damage internal
parts of the unit or they may work loose and the unit may become detached.

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS

• It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS antenna lead or microphone lead
to become wound around the steering column or shift lever. Be sure to install
the unit in such a way that it will not obstruct driving.

• Make sure that leads cannot get caught in a door or the sliding mechanism of
a seat, resulting in a short circuit.

• Please confirm the proper function of your vehicle’s other equipment follow­ing installation of the Navigation System.

• Certain government laws may prohibit or restrict the placement and use of
this system in your vehicle. Please comply with all applicable laws and regu­lations regarding the use, installation and operation of your Navigation
System.

• 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 airbags, hazard lamp buttons or (iii)
impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the vehicle.

ITALIANO NEDERLANDS

Installation

• Install the display between the driver’s seat and front passenger seat so that
it will not be hit by the driver or passenger if the vehicle stops quickly.

• Never install the display and the navigation unit in the place where your
vehicle’s airbag inflation is obstructed. An airbag could be around the dash,
door, or pillar depending on the vehicle. Please refer to your vehicle’s
Owner’s Manual for information on the deployment area of the frontal
airbags.

• Do not install the display and the navigation unit in a place where it will
impair the performance of any of the vehicle’s operating systems, including
airbags and headrests.

13

To guard against electromagnetic interference

• In order to prevent interference, set the following items as far as possible from the main

unit of this Navigation System, other cables or leads:

- TV antenna and antenna lead

- FM, AM antenna and its lead

- GPS antenna and its lead
In addition you should lay or route each antenna lead as far as possible from other antenna
leads.
Do not bind them together, lay or route them together, or cross them.
Such electromagnetic noise will increase the potential for errors in the location display.

Before installing and fixing

• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other mod-

ifications of the vehicle.

• Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all

connected up properly, and the unit and the system work properly.

Installing the main unit

Installation notes

• Do not install the main unit in places where it may become subject to high temperatures
or humidity, such as:
* Places close to a heater, vent or air conditioner.
* Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard or the rear shelf.
* Places that may be splashed by rain, for example close to the door.

• When installing the unit choose a position that is strong enough to bear the weight of the
unit. Choose positions where the main unit can be firmly installed, and install it secure­ly. Unless the main unit is securely attached, the current location of the vehicle cannot
be displayed correctly.

• Do not install the main unit on the board covering the spare tire or other places which
are subject to vibration.

• When the main unit is installed under a front seat, ensure that it does not obstruct the
sliding action of the seat.

• When installing the main unit, choose a position that ensures there will be no contact
with luggage. The impact of a heavy weight or sudden shock on the main unit will
adversely affect the accurate display of the current location of the vehicle.

• Avoid installing the main unit in places where it will interfere with loading and unload­ing of the spare tire, jack, tools, etc.

• Check that a disc or a PC card can be ejected with the main unit installed.

• Install the main unit on a surface within +30 degrees to -15 degrees tolerance (within
five degrees to the left or right of your vehicle’s direction of travel). A surface tilted
more than this would increase the errors in location display.

• Do not install the main unit vertically. Installing it this way can cause it to function
improperly.

15

• The cords must not cover up the area shown in the figure below. This is necessary to
allow the amplifiers and navigation mechanism to heat dissipate freely.

Do not cover this area.

• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it overheats, so don’t install the unit any­where hot — for instance, near a heater outlet.
