engine SUBARU LEGACY 2008 4.G Navigation Manual

6■Points to note before useStarting the engine before using the system
The navigation system can be used with the ignition key in
either the ON position or the ACC position. To preserve the
battery, however, it should be used with the engine running
whenever possible. Using the system for a long time with
the engine off can cause the battery to run down.Delay before display of current position
The system will not immediately display a correct indication
of your vehicle’s current position after being switched on for
the first time or after the battery has been disconnected for
a long time. It will display a correct current position
indication as soon as it receives Global Positioning System
(GPS) signals.Program reloading after battery disconnection
The navigation program will be erased from the system’s
memory if the battery is disconnected. If this happens, load
the provided DVD-ROM disc in the system’s main unit and
turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position. The
system will automatically reload the program and start
operating normally again.Incorrect operation on rough roads
The system may operate incorrectly or be unable to read the
data on the DVD-ROM disc when subjected to severe
vibration caused by driving on rough roads.
Handling the GPS antenna
Do not paint the antenna. Doing so could impair or prevent
signal reception.Disabled switches
Some switches are disabled during operation of the system.
These switches are displayed in fainter colors and no
messages are displayed for them.Risk of damage to the main unit
Be mindful of the occupant compartment temperature.
Using the system when the occupant compartment
temperature is extremely high or low can damage it or cause
it to malfunction. Also, note that the system’s main unit can
be damaged by strong vibration and by any metallic object or
water that gets inside.Condensation
Condensation can form on the lens inside the main unit
when there is a rapid change in occupant compartment
temperature (for example, when the heater is switched on in
cold weather). Such condensation can cause the system to
operate abnormally. If you wait an hour or so for the
condensation to disappear, the system should start working
normally again. If normal operation is still not restored after
several hours, we recommend that you contact the nearest
SUBARU dealer.
