Precautions - Clarion NX501A Owner's Manual

2. PRECAUTIONS

• For your safety, the driver should not watch any video sources and/or operate the controls while driving. Please
note that watching and operating any video sources while driving are prohibited by law in some countries. Also,
while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.
• When using the navigation system, follow the precautions listed below. After reading this manual, be sure to
keep it in a handy place (such as the glove box of your car).
• This navigation system should not be used to replace your own judgment. No itinerary suggested by this
navigation system should ever override any highway regulations, your own judgment, or a knowledge of safe
driving practices. Do not follow the navigation system's suggested itinerary if it would cause you to perform a
dangerous or illegal act, place you in a dangerous situation, or take you into an area you consider unsafe.
• The advice provided by the navigation system is to be regarded as a suggestion only. There may be times when
the navigation system displays the vehicle's location incorrectly, fails to suggest the shortest route, or fails to
direct you to your desired destination. In such instances, rely on your own driving judgment, taking into account
the driving conditions at the time.
• Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services. The database does not contain a complete
listing of emergency services such as police stations, fire halls, hospitals and walk-in clinics. Please show
discretion and ask for directions in such instances.
• As the driver, you alone are responsible for your driving safety.
• In order to avoid a traffic accident, do not operate the system while driving.
• In order to avoid a traffic accident, operate the system only when the vehicle is stopped at a safe place and the
parking brake is on.
• In order to avoid a traffic accident or traffic offense, remember that actual road conditions and traffic regulations
take precedence over the information contained on the navigation system.
• The software may contain inaccurate or incomplete information due to the passage of time, changing
circumstances, and the sources of information used. Please respect current traffic conditions and regulations at
all times while driving.
• Where actual road conditions and highway regulations differ from the information contained on the navigation
system, abide by the highway regulations.
• Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving to a strict minimum.
• The navigation system does not provide, nor represent in any way information on: traffic and highway
regulations; technical aspects of the vehicle including weight, height, width, load and speed limits; road
conditions including grade, percentage of incline and surface conditions; obstacles such as the height and
width of bridges and tunnels; and other current driving or road conditions. Always rely on your own judgment
when driving a car, taking into account current driving conditions.
• Do not disassemble or modify this unit. It may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.
• Do not use this unit when a trouble exists, such as no screen content appears or no sound is audible. It may
cause an accident, fire, or electric shock. For that case, consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion
service center.
• In case of a problem, such as any material has been entered in the unit, the unit gets wet, or smoke or strange
smells come out of the unit, etc., stop using this unit immediately, and consult your authorized dealer or a
nearest Clarion service center.
Using it in that condition may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.
• Use a fuse with the same specification only when replacing the fuse.
Using a fuse with a different specification may causes a fire.
• For the installation of this unit or a change in the installation, ask your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion
service center for safety. Professional skills and experiences are required to do so.
• Rear View Camera Warning:
For your safety, the driver should not view the Reversing Cameras while travelling in a forward direction, which
is prohibited according to Australian Road Laws.
Clarion strongly recommends that when installing a Reverse Camera to this product, the camera's power
source be derived from the vehicles reversing lamp circuit either directly (if suitable) or via a relay. This will
ensure that the Rear View Camera can only be viewed while the vehicle is travelling in a reverse direction.
