Precautions for Safety

Notations used within this User's Manual

The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user about the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted by the vehicle while driving and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Do not change settings or any functions. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations.

To promote safety, certain functions are disabled unless the parking brake is on.

To ensure proper use of this product, please read this owner’s manual carefully and retain it for future reference. Should the unit require maintenance, contact an authorized service center.

WARNING:

• Don’t use a cellular phone when you are driving. You must stop at a safe place to use a cellular phone.
• The use of the navigation radio by no means relieves the driver of his/her responsibilities. The highway code must always be observed. Always observe the current traffic situation.
• The applicable traffic regulations and the prevailing traffic situation always take precedence over the instructions issued by the navigation system if they contradict one another.
• For traffic safety reasons, use the navigation system menus only before starting a journey or when the vehicle is stationary.
• In certain areas, one-way streets and turn off and entry prohibitions (e.g. pedestrian zones) are not recorded. In areas such as these the navigation system will issue a warning. Pay particular attention to one-way streets and turn off and entry restrictions.
• The navigation system does not take the relative safety of the suggested routes into consideration. Road blocks, building sites, height or weight restrictions, traffic or weather conditions or other influences which affect the route safety or travel time are not taken into consideration for the suggested routes. Use your own discretion in order to decide on the suitability of the suggested routes.
• The current legal road traffic speed limit always takes priority over the values saved on the data. It is impossible to provide an assurance that the speed values of the navigation system will always match those of the current traffic regulations in every situation.
• Always observe the applicable legal speed limits the traffic regulations. The vehicle speedometer must always be given priority for display of the vehicle speed.
• Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when attempting to locate an emergency service (hospital, fire service etc.). It cannot be guaranteed that all available emergency services in your vicinity are saved in the database. Use your own discretion and abilities to secure help in such situations.

CAUTION:

• Do not keep the navigation system running with the engine stopped. Doing so may discharge the vehicle battery. When you use the navigation system, always keep the engine running.
• When the driver wants to operate the navigation system, first park the vehicle in a safe location and set the parking brake. Operating the system while driving can distract the driver and may result in a serious accident.
• Do not disassemble or modify this system. If you do, it may result in accidents, fire, or electrical shock.
• Some states/provinces may have laws limiting the use of video screens while driving. Use the system only where it is legal to do so.
• Do not use your phone in private mode when you are driving. You must stop at a safe location to use it.
