❒
Keep this manual handy as a reference for
operating procedures and safety information.
❒
Pay close attention to all warnings in this
manual and follow the instructions carefully.
❒
Do not install this navigation system where it
may (i) obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair
the performance of any of the vehicle’s operat-
ing systems or safety features, including air
bags or hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the
driver’s ability to safely operate the vehicle.
❒
Please remember to wear your seat belt at all
times while operating your vehicle. If you are
ever in an accident, your injuries can be con-
siderably more severe if your seat belt is not
properly buckled.
❒
Never use headphones while driving.
Additional Safety Information
To ensure safe driving
Handbrake interlock
Certain functions (such as viewing of DVD video
and certain touch key operations) offered by this
navigation system could be dangerous and/or
unlawful if used while driving. To prevent such
functions from being used while the vehicle is in
motion, there is an interlock system that senses
when the handbrake is set and when the vehicle
is moving. If you attempt to use the functions
described above while driving, they will become
disabled until you stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and apply the handbrake. Please keep the brake
pedal pushed down before releasing the hand-
brake.
• To avoid the risk of damage and injury and
the potential violation of applicable laws,
the navigation system is not for use with a
“Video image” that is visible to the driver.
• In some countries the viewing of “Video
image” on a display inside a vehicle even
by persons other than the driver may be
illegal. Where such regulations apply, they
must be obeyed.
• When applying the handbrake in order to
view “Video image” or to enable other
functions offered by the navigation sys-
tem, park your vehicle in a safe place, and
keep the brake pedal pushed down before
releasing the handbrake if the vehicle is
parked on a hill or otherwise might move
when releasing the handbrake.
• Accuracy/performance of interlock may be
impacted by such factors as GPS signal
detection, speed pulse wire connectivity,
and driving habits or conditions of the
place where the vehicle is parked.
• It is strongly suggested that the speed
pulse wire be connected for accuracy of
navigation and better performance of
interlock.
• If the speed pulse wire is unavailable for
some reason, it is recommended that the
pulse generator ND-PG1 (sold separately)
be used.
When you attempt to watch “Video image” while
driving, the warning “
Viewing of front seat
video source while driving is strictly prohib-
ited.
” will appear on the screen. To watch “Video
image” on this display, stop the vehicle in a safe
place and apply the handbrake. Please keep the
brake pedal pushed down before releasing the
handbrake.
Rear view camera and [Rear View]
mode
With an optional rear view camera, you are able
to use the navigation system as an aid to keep an
eye on trailers or to back into a tight parking spot.
• SCREEN IMAGE MAY APPEAR
REVERSED.
• USE INPUT ONLY FOR REVERSE OR
MIRROR IMAGE REAR VIEW CAMERA.
OTHER USE MAY RESULT IN INJURY
OR DAMAGE.
