ing to the above recommendation.

The display should not be placed in a location which hinders the view of any critical ele-
ments necessary to operate the vehicle properly (i. e. the road, the mirrors, instruments,
vehicles surroundings). In addition the display should not be placed in a location which
may obstruct the airbags should they deploy.

ing to the above recommendations.

The guiding advice provided by the Audiovox Navigation System are suggestions only.
The driver is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore
evaluate whether it is safe to follow these directions. In case you decide not to follow
the suggested route, Audiovox will automatically calculate a new route and provide new
suggestions (automatic re-routing function).

The Audiovox Navigation System (like all car navigation systems available today), is an
evolving technology. Under certain circumstances, the directions given by the system
could be inaccurate or conflict with current road conditions. New road maps or exit
ramps not yet available on the CD-ROM may present a conflict to the driver.

In case you need to find an emergency service do not use the Audiovox Navigation Sys-
tem. It can not be guaranteed that the Audiovox database CD contains all available
emergency services in your neighborhood. Use your own judgment and abilities to ask
for directions in such a situation.
