SAFETY INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Please read and follow the following safety precautions.
Failure to follow the instructions below may increase your risk of
collision and personal injury.
The Please Drive Safely screen is displayed each time the Navigation software
is turned ON as a reminder to make use of the system’s navigational aids in a
safe manner.
Before using the Navigation software, read this entire manual. Make sure that
you are familiar with the system’s features and know how to operate the
system. Proper use of the Navigation software includes the following
guidelines:
The Navigation software is not a substitute for your personal judgment. The
route suggestions should never supersede any local traffic regulation or your
personal judgment and /or knowledge of safe driving practices. Prior to
completing any maneuvers suggested by your Navigation software (for ex-
ample, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that you can legally and safely complete the
maneuver. Do not follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or would
route you into an area that you consider unsafe.
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. Let the computer
voice guide you. If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the road to a safe
location.
Do not use the Navigation software to locate emergency services (such as
police, fire stations, hospitals, and clinics). The database may not include all
emergency service providers. Use your own best judgment and ask for
directions in these situations.
If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should program the Navigation
software. The driver should not program the system unless the vehicle is parked
in a safe location.
The Navigation software’s map database provides information on suggested
routes without regard to factors that may affect your driving experience or the
time required to arrive at your destination. For example, the system does not
reflect road detours, closures or construction, some road characteristics (e.g.,
road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), temporary
traffic congestion, weather conditions, and similar factors.
