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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
