Before use
Safety Precautions and Important
Information
Read this information carefully before starting to operate the
KENWOOD Car Navigation System and follow the instructions
in this manual. Neither KENWOOD nor Garmin shall be liable
for problems or accidents resulting from failure to observe
the instructions in this manual.

WARNING
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations could result in an accident or collision resulting
in death or serious injury.
When navigating, carefully compare information displayed
on the navigation system to all available navigation sources,
including information from street signs, visual sightings,
and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or
questions before continuing navigation.
Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Do not become distracted by the navigation system while
driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions.
Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen of
the navigation system while driving, and use voice prompts
when possible.
Do not enter destinations, change settings, or access any
functions requiring prolonged use of the navigation system
controls while driving. Stop your vehicle in a safe and legal
manner before attempting such operations.
Keep the system volume at a low enough level to be able to
hear outside noises while driving. If you can no longer hear
outside noises, you may be unable to react adequately to the
traffic situation. This may cause accidents.
The navigation system will not display the correct current
position of the vehicle the first time it is used after purchase,
or if the vehicle battery is disconnected. GPS satellite signals
will soon be received, however, and the correct position will
be displayed.
Be careful of the ambient temperature. Using the navigation
system at extreme temperatures can lead to malfunction or
4
damage. Also note that the unit can be damaged by strong
vibration, by metal objects, or by water getting inside the
unit.

CAUTION
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations may result in injury or property damage.
The navigation system is designed to provide you with
route suggestions. It does not reflect road closures or road
conditions, weather conditions, or other factors that may
affect safety or timing while driving.
Use the navigation system only as a navigational aid. Do
not attempt to use the navigation system for any purpose
requiring precise measurement of direction, distance,
location, or topography.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
United States government, which is solely responsible for
its accuracy and maintenance. The government system
is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment, including the navigation
system. Although the navigation system is a precision
navigation device, any navigation device can be misused or
misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Ñ Vehicle Battery Preservation
This navigation system can be used when the ignition key
is turned to ON or ACC. To preserve the battery, however,
it should be used with the engine running whenever
possible. Using the navigation system for a long time
with the engine switched off can cause the battery to run
down.
Ñ Map Data Information
One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with
the most complete and accurate cartography that is
available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination
of governmental and private data sources, which we
identify in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources
contain some inaccurate or incomplete data. In some
countries, complete and accurate map information is
either not available or is prohibitively expensive.
