On safety
• Com pl y w i th your local traffic laws and
regulations.
• Ob se rve actual traffic regulations, such as one-
way streets, while dr iving wi t h the route
guidance.
• For your safety, do not operate the system or

(a few feet) and 10 met res (3 2. 8 fee t) e xist s. As a
result, the GPS navigation system may include
an error of between 10 metres (32.8 feet ) and
about 200 metres (656.2 feet), depending on the
circumstances.
As GPS information is obtained using signal
from satellites, it may be impossible or difficult
to obtain the information in the following
locations:
• Tunnel or und erground
• Under a highway
Preventing an accident
The menu setti ng ope rati on is pe rfor mable only
after you park the car and set the parking brake.
When you attempt the menu operation while
the parking break is released, the following
caution appears.
On installation
• Before installing the unit, check your local
traffic laws and regulations.
• Make sure you install the unit properly
following the Installation/Connections manual.
• Improper installation may result in fire or
electric shock.
On GPS
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites
continuously emit signals for positioning
anywhere on the eart h. A s a G PS aerial receives
these signals, use rs can be informed of their
location (latitude, longitude and altitude).
Information must be received from 3 satellites in
order to obtain two-dimensional fixes (altitude
and longitude), and 4 satellites are required for
three-dimensional positioning (latitude,
longitude and altitude). As GPS satellites are
controlled by the U.S. Department of Defense, a
deliberate margin of error between a few metres
• Bet w een high buildings
• Between tall trees with dense foliage
Note
When the reverse signal and the speed sensor cords
are connected, the system calculates the current car
position with detecting the direction and the travel
distance of the car by the gyroscope and speed pulse
respectively even in locations where the GPS signal
cannot be received.

Wichtiger Hinweis
Lesen Sie vor Installatio n und Betri eb des Ge räts
folgende Warnhinweise, um V erletzungen oder
Unfälle zu vermeiden.
Sicherheit
• Befolgen Sie die Verkehrsv ors ch ri ften in I hrem
Land.
• Beachten Sie beim Fahren mit der
Routenführun g di e Verkehrsvorschriften vor
Ort, wie z. B. Einbahnstraßen.
• Bedi enen Sie das System nicht während der
Fahrt, und schauen Sie ni cht auf das Display.
Unaufmerksamkeit kann zu Unfällen führen.
• Flüssigkeiten od er Fre mdkör per d ürfe n nicht in
das Innere des Geräts gelangen.
• Zerlegen Sie das Gerät nicht, und nehmen Sie
keine Veränderungen daran vor.
• Dieses Gerät darf nur mit 12 V Gleichstrom mit
negativer Masse betriebe n w erden.
Vermeiden von Unfällen
Die Bedienung des M enüs ist nur möglich,
während das Fahrzeug geparkt und die
Parkbremse ange zogen ist.
Wenn Sie das Menü verwenden, während die
Parkbremse gelöst is t , w i r d di e f o l gende
Meldung angezeigt.
GPS
GPS (Global Positioning System)-Satelliten
senden kontinuierlich Signale für die
Positionsbestimmung zur Erde, die weltweit
empfangen werden können. Mithilf e di eser
Signale, die ein GPS-Gerät empfängt, kann an
jedem Punkt der Erde die aktuelle Position
(Längengrad, Bre itengrad und Höhe) des
Empfängers ermittelt werden. Für eine
zweidimensionale Positionsbestimmung
(Längengrad un d Breitengrad) sind
Informationen von 3 Satelliten erforderlich. Für
eine dreidimens i onale Positionsbestim m ung
(Längengrad, Breitengrad und Höhe) werden die
Signale von 4 Satelliten benötigt. Da GPSSatelliten vom US-amerikanischen
Ver te id i gungsministerium kontr ol l ie rt w erden,
gibt es einen gewollten Fehlerbereich von bis zu
10 Metern. Dadurch können beim GPSNavigationssyste m , a bhängig von den
Umständen, A bw eichungen zwischen 10 und
200 Metern auftr eten.
An folgenden O rt en kann das GPS-Sys t em di e
Satellitensignale möglicherweise nich t
einwandfrei empfangen:
• Tunnel oder Un t er führungen
Installation
• Be fas sen Sie sich vor Instal l ation des Geräts
mit den geltenden Verkehrsvorschriften in
Ihrem Land.
• Installieren Sie das Gerät sorgfältig unter
Beachtung der In st allations-/
Anschlussanleitung.
• Eine fehlerhafte Ins ta ll ation kann zu
Brandentwicklung oder elektrischen Schlägen
führen.
• U nt er einer Autobahn
• Zw i schen hohen Gebäud en
• Zwischen hohen Bäumen mit dichtem
Laubwerk

Hinweis
Wenn die Kabel für Rückfahrsignal und
Geschwindigkeitssensor angesch l osse n sind,
berechnet das System laufend die aktuelle Position
des Fahrzeugs mithilfe des Gyroskops und des
Geschwindigkeitsimpulses. Die Fahrtrichtung und die
zurückgelegte Strecke können auf diese Weise auch
an Orten ermittelt werden, an denen kein GPSEmpfang möglich ist.
Karten-DVD (mitgeliefert)

bevor Sie die DVD-Verp ackung öffnen.
