Important safety information
Importan t saf ety inf orma tion
WARNING
• Do not attempt to install or service this
product 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. A lso, 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,

your dealer or the nearest authorised
Pioneer Service Station. Using this
navigation system in this condition may

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.
