PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
This product is intended to safely provide turn-by-turn instructions 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 judgement. Any route suggestions made by this navigation system should never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgement and/or knowledge of safe driving practises. 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 while you are driving. Stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system
- When using the navigation system to find/route to an emergency service, please contact the facility to validate and verify availability, prior to driving to it. 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 judgement and your ability to ask for directions in these situations.
- The map database used in the navigation system 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 judgement.
- 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 judgement if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.
- There may be situations where the navigation system may display the vehicle’s location erroneously. Use your own driving judgement in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation system should correct the vehicle’s 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 unit 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
- Please make certain that any other person who intends on using this navigation system reads these precautions and the following instructions carefully
