PRECAUTIONS AND
NOTICES
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT
This product is intended to provide turn by turn instructions to
get you to adesired destination. Please make certain that
all
persons using this navigation system carefully read these
precautions and the following instructions fully.
•This product is not asubstitute for yourpersonal judgment. Any
route suggestions made by this navigation system may never
supersede any local traffic regulations
or your personal judgment
and/or knowledge
of safe driving practices. Do notfollow route
suggestions
if the navigation system instructs you to perform an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or
routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.
•Glance
at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If
prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over in asafe and
legal manner and location.
•Do
not input destinations, change settings, or access anyfunctions
requiring aprolonged view
of the monitor and/or remote control
while you are driving. Pull over in asafe and legal manner
and
location before attempting to access the system.
•Do not use the navigation system to route you
to emergency services.
Not all locations
of emergency services such as police and fire
stations, hospitals and clinics are contained in the database. Please
use
your own judgment and ask for directions in these situations.
•The
map database used in the navigation system is the most recent
map data available
at the time of production. Because of changes in
streets
and neighborhoods, there may be situations where the
navigation system is not able
to route you to yourdesired destination.
In these cases, use your ownjudgment.
•The
map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions
and does nottake into account the relative safety of asuggested route
or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your
destination. The system does
not reflect road closures or
construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or
grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather
conditions,
or any otherfactors which may affect the safety or timing
of your driving experience. Use your own personaljudgment if the
navigation system is unable
to provide you with an alternate route.
•There
may be situations where the navigation system displays the
vehicle's location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in
this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please
be aware that in this situation the navigation system should correct
the vehicle's position automatically. However, there
may be times
where you may have to correct the position yourself.
If this is the
case, pull over in asafe and legal manner
and location before
attempting operation.
•Make certain that the volume level
of the navigation system is set to a
level which still allows you
to hear outside traffic and emergency
vehicles.
If there is anything in the manual about the operation of
the navigation system which you are uncertain about,
please contact your local Alpine authorized navigation
dealer or Alpine at 1-888-NAV-HELP (1-888-628-4357)
before using the navigation system.
