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, 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. 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 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
handbrake 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
manual and follow the instructions carefully.
❒ Do not install the navigation 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
ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe if your seat belt is not
properly buckled.
❒ Using the most current map DVDs will allow
for most accurate destination mapping.
Upgrade DVDs are available for purchase
through your local Pioneer dealer.
❒ Never use headphones while driving.
❒ Do not attempt to install or service your navi-
gation system by yourself. Installation or servicing of the navigation system by persons
