Precautions when using the system

WARNING
READ THIS MANUAL FIRST
Read this supplement carefully before using your vehicle informa-
tion system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems
resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this supplement.
AVOID OPERATING THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM WHILE
DRIVING
You should stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating
the vehicle information system. For safety's sake, some of the
vehicle information system's functions cannot be used unless
the vehicle is stationary.
If you stare at the display with too much enthusiasm or oper-
ate the switches of the system while in driving, the navigation
system could cause your attention to be distracted from the
current traffic conditions. Please be sure to input in the system
as much information as possible before taking your departure.
And also please be sure to bring your car to a stop in a safe
place if you need to input information.
The buttons for the touch screen that cannot be used are dis-
played in light color (tone down).
Operating the navigation system while in driving could cause
your attention to be distracted from the current traffic condi-
tions. And in consequence, this could result in a severe or fatal
accident. Follow the descriptions of all operations and the
instructions for safety given in this manual without fail.
226 Vehicle Information
LOOK AT THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SCREEN ONLY WHEN
NECESSARY
When you need to look at the vehicle information screen, do
so for the shortest time possible. Looking away from the
road for too long could lead to an accident.
KEEP THE VOLUME LOW ENOUGH FOR YOU TO HEAR OUTSIDE
SOUNDS
Keep the system's volume level low enough for you to be
able to hear outside sounds while driving. To do otherwise
may mean that you are unable to react appropriately to traf-
fic conditions thus resulting in an accident.
