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.
