Safety Precautions
WA R N I N G
•The main unit requires a 12 V DC power supply. The main 
unit should not be installed in any vehicle which does not 
have a 12 V power system with a ground-connected

may cause severe damage to the main unit, and electric 
shock or serious injury to the users.
•Even when using the route guidance of the navigation 
system, be sure to drive by following the actual traffic 
regulations. If you drive by following only the route 
guidance of the navigation system, you may violate the 
actual traffic regulations and cause a traffic accident.
•To ensure safety, the driver should not operate the 
navigation system while driving. Operating the navigation 
system while driving may result in an accidental steering

vehicle before operating the navigation system. Also, do not 
watch the screen while driving because doing so is 
dangerous. Inattention to road conditions ahead may result 
in an accident.

adjustment while driving. Inattention to road conditions 
ahead may result in an accident, so be sure to stop the

place and apply the parking brake. To ensure safety, videos 
are not displayed during driving.
•To ensure safety, never operate a cell phone while driving.
