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.
General operation
 [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.
