Navigating on the Road

10.1  Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS

If you installed a GPS navigation software on your phone, follow these guidelines before and when using your phone for GPS navigation.

When using GPS navigation software in the car, always plot your GPS route before starting to drive. Do not try to configure the GPS navigation software while driving.

The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving behavior.

Do not leave your phone in a vehicle or expose the phone to direct sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage to the phone or risk to the vehicle.

Use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.

The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.

When using the phone inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the phone securely in place. Avoid placing the phone in the areas shown in the following diagram:
