Important safety information
WARNING
! Do not attempt to install or service this pro-
duct by yourself. Installation or servicing of
this product 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,
injury or other hazards.
! Do not allow this product to come into contact
with liquids. Electrical shock could result.
Also, damage to the product, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids.
! If liquid or foreign matter should get inside
this navigation system, park your vehicle to
safe place and turn the ignition switch off
(ACC OFF) immediately and consult your dealer or the nearest authorised Pioneer Service
Station. Do not use the navigation system in
this condition because doing so may result in
a fire, electric shock, or other failure.
! If you notice smoke, a strange noise or odour
from the navigation system, or any other abnormal signs on the LCD screen, turn off the
power immediately and consult your dealer or
the nearest authorised Pioneer Service Station. Using this navigation system in this condition may result in permanent damage to the

system, as there are high-voltage components
inside which may cause an electric shock. Be
sure to consult your dealer or the nearest
authorised Pioneer Service Station for internal
inspection, adjustments or repairs.
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 regula-
tions 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.
! 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.
! 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 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 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.

Additional safety information
Handbrake interlock
Certain functions (such as certain touch panel
key operations) offered by this navigation system could be dangerous and/or unlawful if
used while driving. To prevent such functions
from being used while the vehicle is in motion,
there is an interlock system that senses when
the handbrake is set and when the vehicle is
moving. If you attempt to use the functions described above while driving, they will become
disabled until you stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and apply the handbrake. Please keep
the brake pedal pushed down before releasing
the handbrake.
WARNING

disable the handbrake interlock system
which is in place for your protection. Tampering with or disabling the handbrake interlock system could result in serious
injury or death.

potential violation of applicable laws, the navigation system is not for use with a video
image that is visible to the driver.
! In some countries the viewing of video image
on a display inside a vehicle even by persons
other than the driver may be illegal. Where
such regulations apply, they must be obeyed.
! When applying the handbrake in order to view
video image or to enable other functions offered by the navigation system, park your vehicle in a safe place, and keep the brake pedal
pushed down before releasing the handbrake
if the vehicle is parked on a hill or otherwise
might move when releasing the handbrake.
If you attempt to watch video image while driving, the warning “For safety, watching video
is not permitted while driving. Please operate hand brake for video applications.”
