Before Using the Navigation System
WA R N I N G
Read this manual first
Read this manual carefully before using the navigation 
system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems 
resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this 
manual.
Follow all road signs and traffic rules
When driving using guidance from the navigation system, 
be sure to follow the actual road signs and traffic 
regulations. If road signs and traffic regulations are 
changed, the data on the SD card may be out of date. Also, 
the data on the map SD card does not take into account 
factors such as weather, time zones, and occurrences such as 
differences in congestion situations and temporary road 
closures due to construction work. Always give precedence 
to road signs and traffic rules over instructions from the 
navigation system.
Not following the road signs and traffic rules could lead to 
injury or traffic violations.
Drive safely
•Before following instructions from the navigation system 
(changing lanes and so on), check that you can carry out the 
maneuver safely given the current traffic conditions. Always 
put safety first before following any instructions.
•Do not watch the navigation screen while driving.
Ignoring surrounding traffic could lead to an accident. If you 
need to look at the screen while driving, make sure you only 
glance at the screen. 
•You should stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating 
the navigation system. For safety's sake, some of the 
navigation system's buttons and functions cannot be used 
unless the vehicle is stationary.
•When you need to look at the navigation screen, do so for 
the shortest time possible. Looking away from the road for 
too long could lead to an accident.
•Make sure this system is installed in a position legally 
allowed in the country where you intend to use it. Some 
countries and regions do not allow video screens to be 
installed within the driver's line of sight.

Before Using the Navigation System
NOTEIn the interest of safety, the use of some functions may be unavailable while 
driving. Buttons on the touch screen that cannot be used have their colors toned 
down.
•If you stare at the display too much or operate the buttons of 
the system while driving, the navigation system could 
distract your attention from the current traffic conditions. Be 
sure to enter as much information as possible into the 
system before departing. Also, be sure to stop your vehicle 
in a safe place if you need to enter information.
•Buttons on the touch screen that cannot be used have their 
colors toned down.
Operating the navigation system while driving could cause 
your attention to be distracted from the current traffic 
conditions. This could result in a severe or fatal accident. Be 
sure to follow all the operation descriptions and safety 
instructions given in this manual.
Volume
•Keep the system's volume level low enough for you to be 
able to hear outside sounds while driving. Otherwise, you 
may not be able to react appropriately to traffic conditions, 
resulting in an accident.
CAUTION
Foreign objects
Do not place foreign objects, such as fingers, into the disc 
insertion slot.
If foreign objects enter the system's main unit, it could lead 
to electric shock or fire. If the system emits smoke or an 
unusual smell, stop using it immediately and contact the 
nearest SUBARU dealer.
Never disassemble or modify the system
Never disassemble or modify any parts of the system. Doing 
so may lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of 
accident.
Do not continue using the navigation system if it malfunctions 
If the system shows any sign of malfunctioning (for example, 
the monitor displays no picture), stop using it immediately 
and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer.
Continuing to use the system could lead to a fire, an electric 
shock, or some other type of accident.
If the navigation system gets contaminated, or emits smoke or 
an odd smell, stop using it
If a foreign object gets inside the system, liquid is spilled 
onto the system, or the system emits smoke or an unusual 
smell, stop using it immediately and contact the nearest 
SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use the system could lead to a 
fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.

Buttons and data fields are displayed on the screen, and you can 
perform navigation. During navigation, route information is displayed 
on the screen.
The data fields display differs when no destination is set during 
navigation (no orange line is displayed). When performing navigation, 
the number of the data fields displayed on the screen is three. Up to 
two data fields can be displayed when no destination is set (no orange

Field Explanation
 (Altitude)Shows the altitude of the road currently being 
driven and measured by the GPS receiver. 
( There may be a maximum ±50 m of differences 
depending on the reception status of GPS 
satellites.)
 (Time)Displays the current time corrected using the 
time zone offset. Accurate time is acquired from 
the GPS satellite, while time zone information is 
acquired from the map. You can also make 
manual settings in Units and Formats.

If a TMC receiver is connected to the main unit 
and is receiving data, any traffic jams along the 
route are also factored into calculations. 
However, the accuracy of these calculations 
varies greatly.
