this user's guide ("User's Manual"). Not following precautions found in this guide can lead to 
an accident or other serious consequences.
Keep this guide in your vehicle
When kept in the vehicle, this guide will be a ready reference for you and other users 
unfamiliar with the system. Ensure that before using the system for the first time, all persons 
have access to this guide and read its instructions and safety information carefully.

Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system

outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these 
sounds could cause an accident.
