the condensation and return the unit to normal operation.
If the unit does not return to normal operation even after several
hours, contact your SUBARU dealer.

INTRODUCTION

While driving, listen to the voice instructions as much as
SRVVLEOH DQG JODQFH DW WKH VFUHHQ EULHÀ\ DQG RQO\ ZKHQ LW
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,
late, or non-voice guidance.
The data in the system may occasionally be incomplete.
Road conditions, including driving restrictions (no left turns,
street closures, etc.) frequently change. Therefore, 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.
Use this system only in locations where it is legal to do so.
Some states/provinces may have laws prohibiting the use of
video and navigation screens next to the driver.
