Safety Information and Precautions
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW MAY
INCREASE YOUR RISK OF COLLISION AND PERSONAL INJURY.
The warning screen is displayed each time the Navigation Icon is selected as a
reminder to make use of the system’s navigational aids in a safe manner. Before using
the XNAV3500P, read this entire manual. Make sure that you are familiar with the
features and know how to operate the system.
Proper use of the XNAV3500P includes the following guidelines: The navigation system
is not a substitute for your personal judgment. The route suggestions should never
supersede any local traffic regulation or your personal judgment and /or knowledge of
safe driving practices. Prior to completing any maneuvers suggested by your
navigation system (for example, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that you can legally and
safely complete the maneuver. Do not follow route suggestions if they direct you to
perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or
would route you into an area that you consider unsafe. Glance at the screen only when
necessary and safe to do so. Let the voice guide you. If prolonged viewing is necessary,
pull off the road to a safe location.
The database may not include all emergency service providers. Use your own best
judgment and ask for directions in these situations. If the vehicle is in motion, only a
passenger should program the unit. The driver should not program the unit unless the
vehicle is parked in a safe location. The map database provides information on
suggested routes without regard to factors that may affect your driving experience or
the time required to arrive at your destination. For example, the system does not
reflect road detours, closures or construction, some road characteristics (e.g., road
surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), temporary traffic
congestion, weather conditions, and similar factors.

Introduction to your Navigation System
As you travel, your navigation system functions as your co-pilot, providing turn-by-turn visual and
voice assistance to direct you to your selected destination. Because the system knows where you are
and where you want to go, it can quickly calculate step-by-step directions that provide a route to any
destination available on the included navigation map. The map includes millions of roadway and
mapping destinations, and preprogrammed point of interest (POI) locations in several different
categories. Simply enter your desired destination into your navigation system, and its advanced
intelligence does the rest.
With your navigation system, if you deviate from the planned route, the navigation system will
automatically recalculate the route to determine a new one from your current location.
The navigation system uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, and a digital roadway map
database to calculate and display travel directions. The system’s GPS antenna receives signals from a
constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the earth and uses the strongest of signals, to determine your
position to within meters. The navigation system’s sophisticated software provides the highly
accurate positioning necessary to provide real-time, accurate, turn-by-turn route guidance.
Vehicle Position
The navigation system’s computer considers vehicle speed and heading changes, together with
longitude and latitude information, to accurately determine vehicle heading and position on a digital
map. This information is relayed to you as you proceed to your selected destination through audible
suggestions, turn symbols, and the on screen map.
Signals from GPS satellites are used to determine the vehicle location. Three (good) or four (best)
satellites must be received to accurately determine location. The GPS reception status is indicated by
the GPS symbol on the map. See the GPS indicator section on page 14 for more information.
Map and Information Database
The map database used by your navigation system was created using high-resolution aerial and land
based data collection and is stored on a memory card. This data is enhanced with useful travel
information, such as freeway signage and approximately two million points of interest locations in
several different categories, such as tourist attractions, gas stations, airports, and restaurants. While
the database was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its release, a map database can
never be 100% accurate. Road information that is maintained in the map databases, such as turn
restrictions or road names may change over time. In addition, points of interests, such as restaurants,
hotels, and gas stations, also change over time. The complexity of keeping this directory current
means that some information may be missing or out-of-date at times.
