PRECAUTIONS
■ Important Information
This product is intended to safely provide turn by
turn instruction to get you to a desired destina-
tion. Please read the following precautions to
ensure that you use your navigation system cor-
rectly.
■ This product is not a substitute for your personal
judgment. Any route suggestions made by the nav-
igation system may never supersede any local traf-
fic regulations or your personal judgment and/or
knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow
route suggestions if the navigation system instructs
you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, plac-
es you in an unsafe situ ation, or routes you into an
area which you consider unsafe.
■ Glance at the monitor screen only when neces-
sary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the
screen is necessary, stop the vehicle in a safe and
legal manner and location.
■ Do not input destinations, change settings, or
access any functions requiring a prolonged view of
the monitor and/or remote control while you are
driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
and location before attempting to access the sys-
tem.
■ Do not use the navigation system to route you to
emergency services. Not all locations of emergency
service providers such as police and fire stations,
hospitals, and clinics are contained in the database.
Please use your own judgment and your ability to
ask for directions in these situations.
■ The map database contained within the media in
which it is stored is the most recent map data avail-
able at the time of production. Because of changes
in streets and neighbourhoods, there may be situa-
tions where the navigation system may not be able
to route you to your desired destination. In these
cases, use your own personal judgment.
■ The map database is designed to provide you with
route suggestions, it does not take account of the
relative safety of a suggested route, or of factors
which may affect the time required to reach your
destination. The database 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 other factors which may affect
the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use
your personal judgment if the navigation system is
unable to provide you with an alternate route.
■ There may be situations where the navigation sys-
tem may display 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 naviga-
tion 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, stop the vehicle in a safe and legal
manner and location before attempting operation.
■ Make certain that the volume level of the monitor
is set to a level which still allows you to hear out-
side traffic and emergency vehicles. Driving while
unable to hear outside sounds could cause an acci-
dent.
■ Please make certain that any other person who
intends on using the navigation system reads these
precautions and the following instructions care-
fully.
■ If there is anything in the manual which you do not
understand, or are uncertain about the operation
of the navigation system, please contact an author-
ized Alpine representative before using the naviga-
tion system.
Please Read Carefully Before Using This Product.
