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-

tem so high that you cannot hear outside traf­fic and emergency vehicles.

❒ To promote safety, certain functions are disa-

bled unless the vehicle is stopped and/or the
parking brake is applied.

❒ The data encoded in the disc for the naviga-

tion system 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

❒ Do not install the display unit where it may (i)

obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair the per­formance of any of the vehicle’s operating sys­tems or safety features, including air bags,
hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the driver’s
ability to safely operate the vehicle.

❒ Please remember to wear your seat belt at all

times while operating your vehicle. If you are

DVDs are available for purchase through your
local Pioneer dealer.

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

f

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.

When new route guidance starts, the route data
from the DVD Map Disc is read into the memory
of the navigation system. The status of the mem­ory navi mode is indicated by the following icons
on the lower right of the map screen.

(Flashing Green): Reading the data
(Solid Green): Operated in memory navi mode
(Solid Red): Operated in memory navi mode,

Using XM NavTraffic Informa­tion

If you have a GEX-P10XMT XM Digital Satellite
Data & Audio Receiver (sold separately) attached
to the navigation system, and have an active sub­scription to XM NavTraffic service, you can view
current traffic conditions and information on your
navigation display. When the unit receives
updated traffic information, the navigation sys­tem will overlay the traffic information on your
map, and also display detailed text information
when available. When you are traveling along a
route and there is traffic information on your cur­rent route, the system will automatically detect it,
and ask you if you would like to be rerouted. (In
such case, route calculation takes into considera­tion about 90 mile radius of alternative routes and
its traffic conditions from your current location).

❒ The term “traffic congestion” in this section

indicated the following types of traffic infor­mation: stop and go, stopped traffic, closed/
blocked roads. This information is always
taken into consideration when checking your
route, and the information related with these
events cannot be turned off. Additionally, the
system also takes into consideration the traf­fic flow information if “Use the traffic flow
