Operation Instructions

Notes to Users

  • Do not use mobile phone while driving. Park the vehicle in a safe place first if you need to use the mobile phone.
  • The use of navigation system does not mean that the responsibilities of driver can be replaced. Observe and oblige to traffic rules. Pay attention to the current traffic condition consistently.
  • If there is a difference in the traffic regulations and the current traffic condition always take precedence over the navigation system.
  • For safety reasons, the navigation system menu can only be used before driving or when the vehicle is stationary.
  • In the situation when there is only one road or the road is damaged or prohibited from vehicle entry (e. g. pedestrian street), the navigation system may give a warning. Pay close attention to the warning given.
  • The navigation system will not consider route safety when planning a route. Roadblocks, locations of buildings, height and weight limits, traffic and weather conditions or other issues that can affect the safety and time of driving routes will also not be considered in the proposed route.
    Therefore, it is up to the driver to decide which route is the most suitable.
  • The speed limit stipulated by current road traffic regulations should be more reliable than the system storage most of the time. There is no guarantee that the speed limit shown by the navigation system is the same as that stipulated by the traffic law under any circumstances.
  • Do not solely rely on the navigation system to find emergency services (e.g. hospitals, fire-fighting facilities, etc). There is no guarantee that all nearby emergency services in the database are up to date. In this case, driver judgement is required in event of emergency.
