!The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is exposed to direct sunlight.

!When using a cellular phone, keep the an- tenna of the cellular phone away from the LCD screen to prevent disruption of the video by the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.

Keeping the LCD screen in good condition

!When removing dust from the LCD screen or cleaning the LCD screen, first turn the system power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

!When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.

Small fluorescent tube

!A small fluorescent tube is used inside the display to illuminate the LCD screen.

—The fluorescent tube should last for ap- proximately 10 000 hours, depending on operating conditions. (Using the naviga- tion unit at low temperatures reduces the service life of the fluorescent tube.)

—When the fluorescent tube reaches the end of its useful life, the LCD screen will be dark and the image will no longer be projected. If this happens, consult your

dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer service station.

Route Setting Information

Route search specifications

Your navigation system sets a route to your destination by applying certain built-in rules to the map data. This section provides some use- ful information about how a route is set.

CAUTION

When a route is calculated, the route and voice guidance for the route are automatically set. Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only infor- mation about traffic regulations at the time when the route was calculated is shown. One-way streets and street closures may not be taken into consideration. For example, if a street is open dur- ing the morning only, but you arrive later, it would be against the traffic regulations so you cannot drive along the set route. When driving, please follow the actual traffic signs. Also, the system may not know some traffic regulations.

For details concerning operations, refer to Modifying the Route Calculation Conditions on page 59.
