Important Safety Information

Important Saf ety Information

WARNING

• Do not attempt to install or service your

navigation system by yourself. Installation
or servicing of the navigation system 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 or
other hazards.

• 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 odor

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.

• 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.

!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 at the time when the
route was calculated is shown. 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 phone 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.

Additional Saf e ty Infor mation

Handbrake interlock

When using a display
connected to REAR MONITOR

Certain functions (such as viewing of DVD­Video and 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.

INJURY OR DAMAGE.

• 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.

When you attempt to watch “Video image”
while driving, the warning “VIDEO VIEWING

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.

OUTPUT

The video output terminal (REAR MONITOR
