Important Safety Information

Before using your navigation system, be sure to read and fully understand the following safety information:

•Do not attempt to install or service your navigation system by yourself. Installation or servicing of the navigation system by persons without training and experience in electronic equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous and could expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards.

•When a route is calculated, the route and voice guidance for the route is automati- cally set. Also, for day or time traffic regu- lations, only information about traffic regulations at the time when the route was calculated is shown. One-way streets and street closures may not be taken into con- sideration. For example, if a street is open during the morning only, but you arrive later, it would be against the traffic regula- tions 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.

❒Read the entire manual before operating this navigation system.

❒The navigation features of your navigation sys- tem (and rear view camera option if pur- chased) are intended solely as an aid to you in the operation of your vehicle. It is not a substi- tute for your attentiveness, judgment, 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 exist- ing traffic regulations. If you experience diffi- culty in operating the system or reading the display, park your vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake 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. Stop using any functions relating to the hands-free phone and please call 911.

❒Route and guidance information displayed by this equipment is for reference purposes only. It may not accurately reflect the latest permis- sible 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 set 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 traf- fic and emergency vehicles.

❒To promote safety, certain functions are dis- abled unless the vehicle is stopped and/or the parking brake is applied.
