Installation – who and where
The installation of this system can be carried out by yourself but please
observe the installation requirements of the automotive manufacturer
(VAS 1978). During the installation, park the car at a place where the
road traffic is not impaired. We recommend to let a specialised work-
shop perform the installation.
Power supply
This system has been designed for the use in vehicles with an on-board
supply system of 12 volts (passenger car). If you intend to install the
device in a vehicle with an on-board supply system of 24 volts (lorry),
please use a voltage converter. If you have queries regarding this sub-
ject, please contact our hotline.
Position, volume
Install the components of the device in the vehicle so that your field of
vision is not impaired and the components are not mounted in the im-
pact zone of the passenger compartment or in the airbag inflation zo-
nes. The removal of coverings (with and without airbags) or compon-
ents of the dashboard requires – in some cases – special tools and
special knowledge.
Intended use
We shall not be liable for damages or malfunctions due to improper use
of the navigation system. Therefore, do not expose the device to mois-
ture, extreme temperatures or shocks and carefully follow the procedu-
re described in the installation and operating guidelines.
Use while driving
Operate the system only when the situation allows it and when you do
not endanger, harm, constrain, or annoy other road users. The volume
of the device has to be set in a way that exterior noise is still audible.
