Accessories Precautions
The GPS antenna is located on the roof. Trees, tall buildings,  highway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires  can easily interrupt or interfere GPS 
reception.
Signal noise from devices such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, and  additional amplifiers can disrupt the navigation system. If you 
install any such item, install it away from the navigation display and antenna.
Important Safety Information
Avoid focusing on the screen or manually operating the system controls while driving.
Certain on-screen controls are disabled when driving, however most  of the voice commands continue to function. Pull to the side of the road if you need to devote 
more attention and time to look at  the screen or access additional menus.
Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.
The system itself may also have limitations. Verify route information by carefully observing roads, signs, and signals. Always  use your own judgment and obey 
traffic laws. 2
System Limitations P. 106

3 WARNING
Using the navigation system while driving can take your 
attention away from the road, causing a crash in which you 
could be seriously injured or killed.
Only operate system controls when the conditions permit you 
to safely do so.
