Safety warnings

For safety, follow the instructions below. Failure to do so may increase the risk of a traffic accident, which may result in death or personal injury.
About driving
Do not operate the system while driving.
  • Driving while distracted may result in a loss of vehicle control, potentially leading to an accident, severe personal injury, or death. The driver′s primary responsibility is the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and any handheld devices, equipment, or vehicle systems which divert the driver′s attention from this responsibility should never be used during operation of the vehicle.
Follow traffic regulations while driving.
  • Driving only with the guidance of the navigation system may cause violation of traffic regulations, which may lead to a traffic accident.
Depend on your vehicle′s speedometer when checking your driving speed.
  • The speed displayed in the navigation screen may differ from your actual speed.
Avoid watching the screen while driving.
  • Driving while distracted may lead to a traffic accident.
  • Stop your vehicle in a safe location before using functions that require multiple operations.
Stop your vehicle first before using your mobile phone.

Keep the volume low enough to hear external sounds.
  • Driving without the ability to hear external sounds may lead to a traffic accident.
  • Listening to a loud volume for a long time may cause hearing damage.
When looking for emergency services, such as hospitals or fire stations, do not depend solely on the navigation system.
  • Some emergency services may not be included in the navigation map. Locate nearby emergency services in advance so you can take the proper action quickly in an emergency situation.
