Safety Warnings

You will find a number of WARNINGs, CAUTIONs and NOTEs in this supplement.

These safety warnings alert you to potential hazards that could result in injury to you or others.

Please read these safety warnings as well as all other portions of this supplement carefully in order to gain a better understanding of how to use your Navigation system safely.

WARNING

A WARNING indicates a situation in which serious injury or death could result if the warning is ignored.

CAUTION

A CAUTION indicates a situation in which injury or damage to your vehicle including Navigation system, or both, could result if the caution is ignored.

NOTE

A NOTE gives informaton or suggestions how to make better use of your Navigation system.

Before Use

WARNING

READ THIS MANUAL FIRST

Read this supplement carefully before using your navigation system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this supplement.

OBEY LOCAL ROAD SIGNS AND REGULATIONS

Always obey local road signs and regulations while following instructions given by the navigation system. Some of the data on the DVD-ROM disc may be outdated due to changes in local road signs and regulations. Furthermore, the data on the DVD-ROM disc does not take into account variable factors such as the weather, road congestion at different times of the day, temporary road closures due to road construction, and special events. Local road signs and regulations always take precedence over directions given by the system.

Failure to obey them could place you in physical danger or in violation of the law.

DRIVE SAFELY

•Before following an instruction (for example, in the case of changing direction) given by the system, check that the action would be safe to take in the current traffic conditions. Continue to pay attention to safety while following any instruction.

•Do not be distracted by the navigation screen. Failure to keep your attention on the road could lead to an accident. When you need to look at the screen while driving, do so for the shortest time possible and avoid staring at the screen.

•You must stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating the navigation system. For safety’s sake, some of the navigation system’s controls and functions cannot be used unless the vehicle is stationary.

•Use this system only in locations where it is legal to do so. Some states/provinces may have laws prohibiting video screens within sight of the driver.

VOLUME LEVEL

Keep the system’s volume level low enough for you to be able to hear outside sounds while driving. To do otherwise may prevent you from reacting appropriately to traffic conditions and could result in an accident.

6

Before Use

CAUTION

FOREIGN OBJECTS

Do not allow foreign objects to enter the disc insertion slot, including your fingers.

Foreign objects inside the system’s main unit could cause an electric shock or a fire. If the main unit emits smoke or an unusual smell, stop using the system immediately and you contact the nearest SUBARU dealer.

STOP OPERATION IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM

In the event of a problem such as

the absence of sound or video, try pressing the reset button. Should the problem persist, stop using the system and you contact the nearest

SUBARU dealer.

(The reset button is also used when you need to upgrade the program. Insert an upgrade disc and press the reset button.)

NEVER DISASSEMBLE OR MODIFY THE SYSTEM

Any attempt to disassemble or modify any part of the system could lead to an electric shock or a fire, or some other type of accident.

CAUTION

The displays contain mercury. Therefore, the displays must be removed before vehicle disposal. Once the displays have been removed, please reuse, recycle or dispose of them as hazardous waste.

7

Before Use

■ Points to note before use

Starting the engine before using the system

The navigation system can be used with the ignition key in either the ON position or the ACC position. To preserve the battery, however, it should be used with the engine running whenever possible. Using the system for a long time with the engine off can cause the battery to run down.

Delay before display of current position

The system will not immediately display a correct indication of your vehicle’s current position after being switched on for the first time or after the battery has been disconnected for a long time. It will display a correct current position indication as soon as it receives Global Positioning System (GPS) signals.

Program reloading after battery disconnection

The navigation program will be erased from the system’s memory if the battery is disconnected. If this happens, load the provided DVD-ROM disc in the system’s main unit and turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position. The system will automatically reload the program and start operating normally again.

Incorrect operation on rough roads

The system may operate incorrectly or be unable to read the data on the DVD-ROM disc when subjected to severe vibration caused by driving on rough roads.

Handling the GPS antenna

Do not paint the antenna. Doing so could impair or prevent signal reception.

Disabled switches

Some switches are disabled during operation of the system. These switches are displayed in fainter colors and no messages are displayed for them.

Risk of damage to the main unit

Be mindful of the occupant compartment temperature. Using the system when the occupant compartment temperature is extremely high or low can damage it or cause it to malfunction. Also, note that the system’s main unit can be damaged by strong vibration and by any metallic object or water that gets inside.

Condensation

Condensation can form on the lens inside the main unit when there is a rapid change in occupant compartment temperature (for example, when the heater is switched on in cold weather). Such condensation can cause the system to operate abnormally. If you wait an hour or so for the condensation to disappear, the system should start working normally again. If normal operation is still not restored after several hours, we recommend that you contact the nearest SUBARU dealer.

8

Before Use

Replacing the DVD-ROM disc

If you need to replace the DVD-ROM disc, make sure the replacement disc is compatible with your system’s main unit. Inserting an incompatible disc could damage the unit.

■Handling precautions for DVD-ROM discs

•Handle DVD-ROM discs carefully. Any DVD-ROM disc with excessive warping or scratches on its surface can cause reading errors.

•Store DVD-ROM discs away from direct sunlight, which can cause warping and render them unusable.

•DVD-ROM discs rotate at high speeds inside the system’s main unit. Never use a cracked or badly warped disc; doing so could damage the unit.

•To clean a DVD-ROM disc, lightly wipe it with a soft cloth in straight lines from the center hole toward the outer edge.

•Never clean DVD-ROM discs with benzene, thinner, record spray, antistatic spray, or chemical swabs.

•Do not touch the DVD-ROM disc’s data surface (the surface without a printed label). A dirty data surface can cause reading errors. Always hold a DVD-ROM disc by the center hole and at one point on the outer edge, or by two points on the outer edge.

•Do not write anything on DVD-ROM discs or affix anything, such as stickers, to them.
