Safety instructions
To use this system in the safest possible manner, follow all the safety tips shown
below.
This system is intended to assist in reaching the destination and, if used properly,
can do so. The driver is solely responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle
and the safety of your passengers. Do not use any feature of this system to the
extent it becomes a distraction and prevents safe driving. The first priority while
driving should always be the safe operation of the vehicle. While driving, be sure to
observe all traffic regulations. If a traffic sign on the road has been changed, route
guidance may not have the updated information such as the direction of a one way
street.
While driving, listen to the voice instructions as much as possible and glance at
the screen briefly and only when it is safe. However, do not totally rely on voice
guidance. Use it just for reference. If the system cannot determine the current
position correctly, there is a possibility of incorrect or delayed guidance, or no
voice guidance at all.
The data in the system may occasionally be incomplete. Road conditions, including
driving restrictions (no left turns, street closures, etc.) frequently change. There-
fore, before following any instructions from the system, look to see whether the
instruction can be done safely and legally.
This system cannot warn about such things as the safety of an area, condition of
streets, and availability of emergency services. If unsure about the safety of an
area, do not drive into it. Under no circumstances is this system a substitute for the
driver’s personal judgement.
WARNING
●For safety, the driver should not operate the system while he/she is driving. Insufficient
attention to the road and traffic may cause an accident.
●While driving, be sure to obey the traffic regulations and maintain awareness of the
road conditions.
