Operating Instructions

PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT.
This product is intended to safely provide turn-by-turn
instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please read the
following precautions to ensure that you use this navigation
system correctly.
• This product is not a substitute for your personal judgement. Any
route suggestions made by this navigation system should never
supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal
judgement 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 screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If
prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, stop in a safe and
legal manner and location.
• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any
functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor while you
are driving. Stop in a safe and legal manner and location before
attempting to access the system.
• When using the navigation system to find/route to an emergency
service, please contact the facility to validate and verify
availability, prior to driving to it. 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
judgement and your ability to ask for directions in these
situations.
• The map database contained within the media (SD memory card)
in which it is stored is the most recent map data available at the
time of production. Because of changes in streets and
neighborhoods, 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 judgement.
• 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 system 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 judgement 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
judgement 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 where you may have to correct the
position yourself. If this is the case, stop in a safe and legal
manner and location before attempting operation.

• Make certain that the volume level of the unit is set to a level
which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency
vehicles. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could

• Please make certain that any other person who intends on using
this navigation system reads these precautions and the following
instructions carefully.
If there is anything in the manual about the operation of
the navigation system which you are uncertain about,
please contact your local Alpine authorised navigation
dealer before using the navigation system.
