Precautions

■ Important Information

Please Read Carefully Before Using This Product
This product is intended to safely provide turn
by turn instruction to get you to a desired
destination. Please read the following precautions
to ensure that you use your navigation system
correctly.
■ This product is not a substitute for your personal
judgment. Any route suggestions made by the
navigation system may never supersede any local
traffic regulations or your personal judgment
and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do
not follow route suggestions if the navigation
system instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal
manoeuvre, places you in an unsafe situation, or
routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.
■ Glance at the monitor screen only when necessary
and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the
screen is necessary, stop the vehicle in a safe and
legal manner and location.
■ Do not input destinations, change settings, or
access any functions requiring prolonged viewing
of the monitor and/or remote control while you are
driving. Stop the vehicle in safe and legal manner
and location before attempting to access the
system.
■ Do not use the navigation system to route you to
emergency services. Not all locations of emergency
service providers such as police and fire stations,
hospitals and clinics are contained in the database.
Please use your own judgment and your ability to
ask for directions in these situations.
■ The map database contained within the media
in which it is stored is the most recent map data
available at the time of production. Because of
changes in streets and neighbourhoods, there may
be situations where the navigation system may not
be able to route you to your desired destination. In
these cases, use your own personal judgment.

■ The map database is designed to provide you with
route suggestions. It does not take account of the
relative safety of a suggested route, or of factors
which may affect the time required to reach your
destination. The database does not reflect road
closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e.
type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or
height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather
conditions, or any other factors which may affect
the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use
your personal judgment if the navigation system is
unable to provide you with an alternate route.
■ There may be situations where the navigation
system may display the vehicle's location
erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in
this situation, taking into account current driving
conditions. Please be aware that in this situation
the navigation system should correct the vehicle's
position automatically; however, there may be
times when you may have to correct the position
yourself. If this is the case, stop the vehicle in safe
and legal manner and location before attempting
operation.
■ Make certain that the volume level of the monitor
is set to a level which still allows you to hear
outside traffic and emergency vehicles. Driving
while unable to hear outside sounds could cause
an accident.
■ Please make certain that any other person who
intends on using the navigation system reads
these precautions and the following instructions
carefully.
■ If there is anything in the manual which you do not
understand, or are uncertain about the operation
of the navigation system, please contact an
authorised ALPINE representative before using the
navigation system.
