Safety Information
WAR I G! Please read and follow the following safety precautions.
Failure to follow the instructions below may increase your risk of
collision and personal injury.
The Please Drive Safely screen is displayed each time the navigation
software is turned ON as a reminder to make use of the system's
navigational aids in a safe manner.
Before using the navigation software, read this entire manual. Make sure
that you are familiar with the system's features and know how to operate
the system. Proper use of the navigation software includes the following
guidelines:
The OE RADIO NavMate software is not a substitute for your personal
judgment. The route suggestions should never supersede any local traffic
regulation or your personal judgment and
lor
knowledge of safe driving
practices. Prior to completing any maneuvers suggested by your
OE RADIO NavMate software (for example, a U-turn or a left turn),
verify that you can legally and safely complete the maneuver. Do not
follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe or illegal
maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or would route you
into an area that you consider unsafe.
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. Let the
navigation voice guide you. If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the
road to a safe location.
Do not use the OE RADIO NavMate software to locate emergency ser-
vices (such as police, fire stations, hospitals, and clinics). The database
may not include all emergency service providers. Use your own best
judgment and ask for directions in these situations.
If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should program the
OE RADIO NavMate software. The driver should not program the system
unless the vehicle is parked in a safe location.
The OE RADIO NavMate software's map database provides information
on suggested routes without regard to factors that may affect your driving
experience or the time required to arrive at your destination. For exam-
ple, the system does not reflect road detours, closures or construction,
some road characteristics (e.g., road surface, slope or grade, weight or
height restrictions, etc.), temporary traffic congestion, weather conditions,
and similar factors.
