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 information about traffic regulations
applicable at the time when the route was
calculated is considered. One-way streets
and street closures may not be taken into
consideration. For example, if a street is open
during 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.
Before using your navigation system, be sure
to read and fully understand the following
safety information:
•
Read the entire manual before operating
this navigation system.
•
The navigation features of your navigation
system (and rear view camera option if
purchased) are intended solely as an aid to
you in the operation of your vehicle. It is not
a substitute for your attentiveness,
judgement, 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 existing traffic regulations. If you
experience difficulty in operating the
system or reading the display, park your
vehicle in a safe location and apply the
handbrake 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 phoning and
please call the appropriate emergency
number.
•
Route and guidance information displayed
by this equipment is for reference purposes
only. It may not accurately reflect the latest
permissible 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.
•

system so high that you cannot hear
outside traffic and emergency vehicles.
