For Your Safety - VDO MS 5200 Owner's Manual

For your safety!

A
The use of the navigation system by no means relieves the driver of his/her
responsibilities. Always observe the applicable traffic regulations and take the current traffic
conditions into consideration. You always have priority over the information provided by the
navigation system if the actual traffic situation and the information from the navigation
system conflict.
A
The system does not take the relative safety of the suggested routes into consideration.
Road blocks, building sites, height or weight restrictions, traffic or weather conditions or
other influences which affect the route safety or travel time are not taken into consideration
for the suggested routes. Use your own discretion in order to decide on the suitability of the
suggested routes. Use the "Alternative Route" function to receive better routing suggestions,
or simply follow your preferred route and the automatic routing recalculation will plan the
route for the remainder of your journey.
A
For the sake of traffic safety, perform inputs to the navigation system only prior to the
trip or when the vehicle is stationary.
A
The current statutory speed limit on the road always takes priority over the values stored
in the selected navigation database. It is impossible to provide an assurance that the speed
values of the navigation system will always match those of the current traffic regulations in
every situation.
A
In certain areas one-way streets, turn-off and entry restrictions (e.g. to pedestrian zones)
have not been surveyed. In areas such as these the navigation system will issue a warning. Pay
particular attention to one-way streets, turn-off and entry restrictions.
A
Please make certain that all persons using your multimedia system have access to this
manual, and that they read the instructions and suggestions concerning system operation
prior to use.
A
If your screen is installed on a flexible support, adjust it so that you can see the screen
contents quickly and easily, and reflections and dazzle or glare are avoided. Find a suitable
spot to stop the vehicle prior to performing adjustments.
A
If your monitor is installed on a fixed support, check that your dealer has installed it in
accordance with the above recommendations. The screen must not be installed in a position
where it obstructs the view of any items necessary for the safe operation of the vehicle (e.g.
road, mirrors, instruments, surroundings). In addition, the monitor may not be installed within
deployment range of the airbag.
A
Only look at the monitor if it is safe to do so. Find a suitable place to stop should you
need to look at the screen for a longer period of time.
A
Always store the remote control in a safe place. Unsecured objects could be flung around
in the event of emergency braking or an accident and cause injuries to occupants.
A
The values displayed on the system's "Trip computer" giving the current speed, driving
time and the elapsed distance are calculated values. Accuracy cannot always be guaranteed.
In the case of speed, the vehicle speedometer must always be given priority.
A
Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when attempting to locate an
emergency service (police, fire service, etc.). It cannot be guaranteed that all available
emergency services in your vicinity are stored in the database. Use your own discretion and
abilities to secure help in such situations.
