About the database

About the data for the map database

•Modifications related to roads, streets/ highways, terrain, construction and other things before/during the development period may not be reflected in this database. Inevitably, those modifications after that period are not reflected in this database.

•Regardless of existing and newly-built things, the data may be different from the actual condition.

•For details about the map coverage of this navigation system, refer to the information on our website.

•It is strictly prohibited to reproduce and use any part or the whole of this map in any form without permission from the copyright owner.

•If the local traffic regulations or conditions deviate from this data, follow the local traffic regulations (such as signs, indications, etc.) and conditions (such as construction, weather, etc.).

•The traffic regulation data used in the map database applies only to standard sized passenger vehicles. Note that regulations for larger vehicles, motorbikes, and other non-standard vehicles are not included in the database.

Important safety information

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. 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.

•Do not disassemble or modify this navigation system, as there are highvoltage 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 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.

•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 unless 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.

Important safety information

•To promote safety, certain functions are disabled unless the vehicle is stopped and/ or the handbrake is applied.

•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.

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

•GREEN/WHITE LEAD AT CONTROL LINE CABLE CONNECTOR IS DESIGNED TO DETECT PARKED STATUS AND MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY SIDE OF THE HANDBRAKE SWITCH. IMPROPER CONNECTION OR USE OF THIS LEAD MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE LAW AND MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE.

•Do not take any steps to tamper with or 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.

•To avoid the risk of damage and injury and the 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.” will appear on the screen. To watch video image on this display, stop the vehicle in a safe place and apply the handbrake. Please keep the brake pedal pushed down before releasing the handbrake.

When using a display connected to VIDEO OUT

The video output terminal (VIDEO OUT) is for connection of a display to enable passengers in the rear seats to watch video images.

!WARNING

NEVER install the rear display in a location that enables the driver to watch video images while driving.

To avoid battery exhaustion

Be sure to run the vehicle engine while using this product. Using this product without running the engine can drain the battery.

!WARNING

Do not install this product in a vehicle that does not have an ACC wire or circuitry available.

Rear view camera

With an optional rear view camera, you are able to use this product for increased visibility while backing up, or to keep an eye on a trailer attached to the vehicle.

!WARNING

•SCREEN IMAGE MAY APPEAR REVERSED.

•USE INPUT ONLY FOR REVERSE OR MIRROR IMAGE REAR VIEW CAMERA. OTHER USE MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DAMAGE.

!CAUTION

Do not use this function for entertainment purposes.
