Important information
Before using your system, read and follow all instructions and 
safety information provided in 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.
Warning
Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract 
your attention away from the road, and possibly cause an 
accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system 
settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while 
driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before 
attempting these operations. This is important since setting up or 
changing some functions as you drive may distract your attention 
away from the road and removing your hands from the steering 
wheel may cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

Navigation features
Navigation features included in the system are intended to 
provide detailed instructions to get you to a desired destination. 
Ensure that all persons using this system carefully read and follow 
all instructions on safety information.
Distraction hazard
Some navigation features may require manual (non-verbal) setup. 
Attempting to perform such setup or inputting data while driving 
can seriously distract your attention and could cause an accident. 
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting 
these operations.
Let your judgment prevail
Any navigation features are provided only as an aid. Make your 
driving decisions based on your observations of local conditions 
and existing traffic regulations. Any such feature is not a 
substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions 
made by this system should never replace any local traffic 
regulations or your personal judgment or knowledge of safe 
driving practices.
General operation
Voice command control
Features within the system may be executed using only voice 
commands. Using voice commands while driving allows you 
to operate the system without removing your hands from the 
steering wheel.
Prolonged views of screen
Do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the 
screen while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner 
before attempting to access a function of the system requiring 
prolonged attention. Even short views of the screen may be 
hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your 
driving.
Volume setting
Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level 
where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals 
while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds could 
cause an accident.

Use of speech recognition functions
Speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process 
which is subject to errors. It is your responsibility to monitor any 
speech recognition functions included in the system and address 
any errors.
Route safety
Do not follow the route suggestions if doing so would result 
in an unsafe or illegal maneuver, if you would be placed in an 
unsafe situation, or if you would be directed into an area that you 
consider unsafe. The driver is ultimately responsible for the safe 
operation of the vehicle and must evaluate whether it is safe to 
follow the suggested directions.
Potential map inaccuracy
Maps used by this system may be inaccurate because of changes 
in roads, traffic controls or driving conditions. Always use good 
judgment and common sense when following the suggested 
routes.
Emergency services
Do not rely on any navigation features included in the system 
to direct you to emergency services. Ask local authorities or 
an emergency services operator for these locations. Not all 
emergency services such as police, fire stations, hospitals and 
clinics are contained in the map database for navigation features.
