Introduction
CAUTION
When a route is calculated, the route and voice
guidance for the route are automatically set.
Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only information about traffic regulations applicable at the
time when the route was calculated is considered. One-way streets and street closures may
not be taken into consideration. For example, if a
street is open during the morning only, but you
arrive later, it would be against the traffic regulations so you cannot drive along the set route.
When driving, please follow the actual traffic
signs. Also, the system may not know some traffic regulations.
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.
! This navigation system may in certain cir-
cumstances display inaccurate 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 oneway streets, temporary traffic restrictions
and potentially unsafe driving areas. Please
exercise your own judgement in the light of
actual driving conditions.
! The navigation features of your navigation
system (and rear view camera option if purchased) are intended solely as an aid to
you in the operation of your vehicle. It is
not a substitute for your attentiveness, judgement, and care when driving.
! Certain country and 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 operate this navigation system (or
the rear view camera option if purchased) if
doing so will divert your attention in any
way from the safe operation of your vehicle.
Always observe safe driving rules and fol-
low 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 handbrake before making the necessary adjustments.
! Never allow others to use the system un-
less 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. Stop using any functions relating to the hands-free phoning
and please call the appropriate emergency
number.
! 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 the navigation system. Always obey current traffic restrictions, even if the navigation system
provides contrary advice.
! Failure to set correct information about the
local time may result in the navigation system 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.
! The data encoded in the built-in memory is
the intellectual property of the provider, and
the provider is responsible for such content.
! 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.
! Please remember to wear your seat belt at
all times while operating your vehicle. If
you are in an accident, your injuries can be
considerably more severe if your seat belt
is not properly fastened.

Fuel cost management
These calculations are based only on the information that you provide and not on any data
from the vehicle. The fuel mileage displayed is
only a reference value, and does not guarantee
the fuel mileage displayed can be obtained.
Traffic information
! Pioneer does not bear responsibility for the

! Pioneer does not bear responsibility for
changes to information services provided
by broadcasting stations or by related com-
panies, such as cancellation of services or

Speed limit indication
The speed limit is based on the map database.
The speed limit in the database may not
match the actual speed limit of the current
road. This is not a definite value. Be sure to
drive according to the actual speed limit.
Lorry navigation
p This function is only available on AVIC-
F160.
! Based on the dimensions and other en-
tered parameters of your vehicle, this sys-
tem warns you when you are approaching
a restricted road segment or such roads
must be used in your route.
! Warnings are both visual and audible.
There are different kinds of warnings:
! When approaching a restricted road
segment without a route, you are
warned that there is a restricted area
ahead.
! Restricted road segments are excluded
from your routes but in some cases
some restricted roads need to be used
to reach the given destination. In this
case you receive a warning and you
must accept that you have restricted
roads in your route or you can stop the
navigation and continue without an active route.
p Please note that lorry navigation is only as
accurate and comprehensive as the restrictions received with the map. Restrictions
may not cover lower priority roads and in
most cases the coverage changes as you
move around your map region. You are obliged to always obey the restrictions displayed on the road.
