Information on Warnings and Safety
The navigation system uses a built-in GPS receiver to guide 
you to your destination. This software does not transmit the 
GPS position of your vehicle, and cannot be used to track the 
vehicle.
Do not look at the navigation screen if it is not safe to do so. If 
the driver is operating the navigation system, we strongly 
recommend operating the software before you start driving. 
Program the route before leaving, and stop your vehicle in a 
safe place if you need to change the route.
Follow all road signs and road conditions. If you deviate from 
the recommended route while driving, the software updates 
the route according to your current position.
For details, see “End-user License Agreement” on Page 169.
