Important Safety Information

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 sys-

tem (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, judgment, 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 parking brake 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. Please call 911.

❒ 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 input 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 sys-

Precaution

Parking brake interlock

Certain functions (such as viewing of DVD video and certain touch key operation) 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 parking brake 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 parking brake. Please keep the brake pedal pushed down before releasing the parking brake.

• Accuracy/performance of interlock may be impacted by such factors as GPS signal detection, speed pulse wire connectivity, and driving habits or conditions of the place where the vehicle is parked.

• It is strongly suggested that the speed pulse wire be connected for accuracy of navigation and better performance of interlock.

• If the speed pulse wire is unavailable for some reason, it is recommended that the pulse generator (ND-PG1) be used.

Memory navi mode

While the DVD Map Disc is inserted, you can store the data on the DVD Map Disc into the memory of the navigation system. If the DVD Map Disc is removed from the navigation system after the data is stored, navigation is performed using the data in the memory (memory navi mode). In the memory navi mode, you can play a music CD or DVD-Video on the navigation system while navigating at the same time. The operation automatically switches to the memory navi mode when the DVD Map Disc is removed from the navigation system.

Navigation in the memory navi mode

During the memory navi mode, navigation is performed only using the data read into the memory. Therefore, some functions are restricted compared to when the navigation system is using all of the information available on the DVD Map Disc (DVD navi mode). These functions buttons, which cannot be used in the memory navi mode, are indicated in light gray. (For details, see page 28.) If you want to use these functions, please insert the DVD Map Disc again. In addition, you may need to insert the DVD Map Disc and store new data in the memory during navigation operation, such as when the destination is far away. The memory navi mode uses the following map data to perform navigation.

2 Insert the CD to the disc loading slot.
