For Your Safety - VDO MS 5600 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. They 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
In the interests of road safety, only perform inputs to the navigation system and the phone
prior to commencing your journey or when the vehicle is stationary.
A
The current statutory speed limit on the road always takes priority over the values stored
on the data CD/DVD. It is impossible to provide an assurance that the speed values of the navi
gation 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. In the case of an emergency stop or an
accident, unsecured objects may fly about and injure passengers.
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.
