PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
This product is intended to safely provide turn by turn instruction to get you to a desired destination. Please read the following precautions to ensure that you use this navigation system correctly.
This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by this navigation system may never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow route suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal manoeuvre, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe. Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, stop in a safe and legal manner and location. Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor and/or remote control while you are driving. Stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system. Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services. Not all locations of emergency service providers such as police and fire stations, hospitals, and clinics are contained in the database. Please use your own judgment and your ability to ask for directions in these situations. The map database contained within the media (DVD ROM) in which it is stored is the most recent map data available at the time of production. Because of changes in streets and Neighbourhoods, there may be situations where the navigation system may not be able to route you to your desired destination. In these cases, use your own personal judgment. The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions, it does not take account of the relative safety of a suggested route, or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your destination. The system does not reflect road closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your personal 2 judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.

There may be situations where the navigation system may display the vehicles location erroneously. 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 correct the vehicles position automatically; however, there may be times where you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the case, stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting operation. Make certain that the volume level of the monitor is set to a level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident. Position the monitor so that glancing at the screen can be performed quickly and easily by the driver. If any adjustments are necessary, stop in a safe and legal manner and location. The monitor used with this system should not be placed in a location which hinders the drivers view of any critical elements necessary to operate the vehicle properly (i.e. the road, mirrors, instruments, vehicles surroundings). In addition, the monitor should not be placed in a location which may obstruct the air bags should they deploy. Remember to wear your seat belt at all times when the car is in motion. This will help you avoid impact with anything in the cars interior, including the system itself. Please make certain that any other person who intends on using this navigation system reads these precautions and the following instructions carefully. If there is anything in the manual which you do not understand, or are uncertain about the operation of the navigation system, please contact an authorized representative before using the navigation system.

Preface

Navigation systems
This navigation system uses three different sensing devices to determine the present location and to track the progress of the vehicle. These three devices are: a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver which receives digital signals from the GPS satellites to determine the current position of the vehicle, a gyroscope which determines which direction the vehicle turns, and a speedometer pulse sensor which determine how far the vehicle has travelled. Because this system incorporates a gyroscope and a speed sensor, the system will be able to display the vehicle's position and track the vehicle's progress even in areas where the GPS signal may be blocked. All map data is contained on a removable DVD ROM (sold separately). This system integrates this unique map database with the sensing devices to automatically plot out a route when a destination is entered. While driving, the navigation system guides you along the route with pictorial displays and verbal prompts.
GPS (Global Positioning System)
This system receives signals from 3 or more GPS satellites (operated by the United States Department of Defense) orbiting at an altitude of 21,000 kilometres and measures the present car position using the same principles as triangulation.

The error from the actual position of the vehicle Delay time before the present vehicle's position can be displayed
Determination of the present vehicle's position starts when the ignition key is turned to the ACC or ON positions and ends when the key is turned OFF. When the key is first turned to the ACC or ON positions, there is a slight delay of approximately one to two minutes before the present vehicle's position can be displayed. When GPS signals can be received from 4 or more satellites, 3 dimensional positioning (the altitude, latitude, and longitude) of the vehicle can be determined. In this case, the error from the actual position of the vehicle is in the range of 100 to 655 feet (30 to 200 meters). When GPS signals can only be received from 3 satellites, only two dimensional positioning (latitude and longitude) can be determined, resulting in a slightly increased error. When GPS signals can only be received from less than three satellites, positioning of the vehicle through GPS is not possible. In addition to the inherent errors from GPS, the error rate can also be increased if the United States Department of Defense deliberately changes the accuracy rate.

Gyroscope

The gyroscope is a sensor that accurately measures the angle by which the direction of a vehicle or other moving body changes. Gyroscopes are used in inertial navigation systems for airliners and ships. In this navigation system, the gyroscope is used together with the speed sensor, making it possible to display the position of the vehicle even in locations where GPS signals may be blocked.
Locations where GPS signals are received easily
The optimum locations for receiving GPS signals are locations that command a good view where there are no tall buildings, trees, or other objects to obstruct the signals.
Locations where GPS signals cannot be received
In the following locations or conditions GPS signals cannot be received. However even in these locations, the gyroscope and speed sensor will provide a substitute means of determining the vehicle's position and the system will be able to continue to track the vehicle's progress along the route.
In tunnels and indoor parking lots
Locations surrounded by tall buildings
Locations surrounded by tall trees
On the bottom level of double-decker motorways
When a GPS satellite is low on the horizon (angle below 10), obstructions sometimes make normal reception impossible
