General notices and Warnings

• The G100 cannot work properly in a tunnel or a basement, because the satellite
reception is disturbed. We strongly recommend driving carefully in those areas. The G100
needs a short time to establish the connection to the satellites again.
• The G100 calculates the direction of the vehicle to avoid wrong alerts. Anyway, wrong
alerts can occur sometimes. If you’re driving a parallel road that is sited very close to a
road on which an alert is located, a wrong alert may occur.
• The G100 is a driving help that must be considered as a prevention tool. The purpose of
this system is to incite you to drive carefully and to respect the road safety rules. We
decline all responsibility for any infraction to the legislation and the road safety rules.
