1General
This MDAS installation requires custom wiring to various electronic signals in the
vehicle. Please contact your local authorized installer to install. NAV-TV and Movon will
hold no liability of any damage occurred during installation proceeded by users or
unauthorized installers.
MDAS is developed to give only warnings to drivers. The final decision to maneuver or
control shall be made by drivers themselves. Furthermore, MDAS is not capable to
provide 100% detection rate of lane markings, vehicles, and MDAS recognition
performance can be fluctuated due to road conditions, inclement weather, poor
installation, etc. Please ensure that keep eyes forward while driving rather than only
relying on MDAS.
