• Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency
services such as police and fire stations or hospitals and
clinics. Not all emergency service locations are contained in
the database. Please use your judgment and ask for directions
in such situations.
• When driving, minimize the amount of time you spend
viewing the screen. Glance at the screen only when
necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the
screen is necessary, pull over at a safe location.
• Road conditions and regulations take precedence over
information contained on the map. Observe actual traffic
restrictions and circumstances while driving.
• Situations may occur where the navigation system
erroneously displays the vehicle's location. 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 automatically correct the vehicle's
position within a few minutes.
