Attention!
Only use this system when it is safe to do so. It is more important to keep
your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
Due to constantly changing traffic conditions, we unfortunately cannot
guarantee 100 % precision under all circumstances.
Attentie!
Gebruikt U het systeem uitsluitend dan, wanneer de verkeersveiligheid het
toelaat.
Het is belangrijker om op het verkeer te letten en de handen aan het stuur te
houden.
Daar de verkeersituatie zich doorlopend wijzigt, kan geen 100 % nauwkeurigheid
gegarandeerd worden.

GENERAL INFORMATION
With the CARiN Navigation System you have purchased a powerful tool to assist
the driver in daily traffic. By automatic route planning and guidance you can
concentrate on the essential things in today’s growing traffic – especially in
congested areas. Complicated and time-consuming planning with conventional
city and road maps is no longer required.
You simply enter the destination before driving off, activate “Guidance” and
CARiN does the rest.
CARiN offers you guidance advice in both an acoustical and visual way. Few
controls and a simple menu structure ensure ease of operation.
In combination with an optional TMC radio CARiN will also provide you with the
actual traffic situation on your route and will guide you around the obstruction
when you like to.
■Attention!
aThe usage of the navigation system does not exempt the driver from his
responsibilities. Pay attention to the local traffic regulations. Watching the
road is more important than watching the screen!
aThe guidance advice provided by the navigation system is a suggestion only.
The driver is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle and
therefore evaluate whether it is safe to follow these directions.
If the current traffic situation and the advice of the navigation system are in
contradiction, traffic regulations always have priority over advice given by
the system.
In case you decide not to follow the suggested route, CARiN will
automatically calculate a new route and provide new suggestions
(automatic re-routing function).
aWe recommend that you change system settings or enter new
destinations only when the car is not moving or let it be done by
your passenger.
aDuring driving always store the remote control in its holder.
aThe remote control contains batteries. Therefore do not expose to direct
sunlight (high temperatures may discharge the batteries and increase the risk
of leakage).
aTo avoid faulty operation or interference of the system do not cover the GPS
aerial.
Stickers on the car windows within the area of the GPS aerial may also
influence the GPS reception.
aIn some areas it is possible that not all information for a road is covered. For
example prohibitions of entry into pedestrian precincts, the driving direction
of a one-way street or turning prohibitions are not available. In these areas
the navigation system gives a warning. The local traffic regulations always
have priority over the advice given by the navigation system. Always obey
road signs and traffic regulations.

■Guidelines and recommendations
for safe use of the CARiN Navigation System
•Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged
viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over in a safe and legal manner.
•If your display is mounted to a flexible holder, position the screen so that
glancing at the screen can be performed quickly and easily and reduce glare
and reflections. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before making any
adjustments.
•If your display is mounted on a fixed holder, check if your dealer has
mounted it according to the above recommendation.
•The display should not be placed in a location which hinders the view of any
critical elements necessary to operate the vehicle properly (i.e. the road, the
mirrors, instruments, vehicles surroundings). In addition the display should
not be placed in a location which may obstruct the airbags should they
deploy.
•In case you need to find an emergency service do not only rely on the
navigation system. It cannot be guaranteed that the CARiN database
contains all available emergency services in your neighbourhood. Use your
own judgment and abilities to ask for directions in such a situation.
•The CARiN Navigation System does not take into account the relative safety
of the suggested routes. The suggested routes do not reflect road closures
or construction, weight or height restrictions, traffic or weather conditions,
or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing of the routes. Use
your personal judgment for verification of the suggested routes. Use the
alternative route function or the via point function to get better route
suggestions, or simply drive the preferred route and let the automatic
re-routing function calculate the preferred route.
•Please take care that everybody using the CARiN Navigation System has
access to these directions for use and reads the given recommendations and
guidelines carefully before the initial use of the system.

■Notes
•After transport of the car by a car train or a car ferry the navigation system
may need some minutes for exact repositioning.
•After the car battery has been disconnected, the system may need up to
15 minutes for exact repositioning. The car has to be situated outdoors and
the system has to be switched on to receive the GPS satellites.
•The system is fully operational even without valid GPS data, but the accuracy
of positioning may decrease.
•As soon as sufficient GPS data is received the colour of the satellite icon in
the GPS window changes from red to green.
•On motorways the distance indications of CARiN for exits are different from
those on the motorway signs. The motorway signs refer to the distance to
the beginning of the exit, whereas CARiN refers to the end of the exit. This
is the point where you have to turn.
