CAUTION

4Before UseREAD THIS MANUAL FIRST
Read this supplement carefully before using your
navigation system. We are not liable for accidents or
other problems resulting from failure to follow the
instructions in this supplement.OBEY LOCAL ROAD SIGNS AND REGULATIONS
Always obey local road signs and regulations while
following instructions given by the navigation system.
Some of the data on the DVD-ROM disc may be
outdated due to changes in local road signs and
regulations. Furthermore, the data on the DVD-ROM
disc does not take into account variable factors such
as the weather, road congestion at different times of
the day, temporary road closures due to road
construction, and special events. Local road signs and
regulations always take precedence over directions
given by the system.
Failure to obey them could place you in physical
danger or in violation of the law.
WARNING
DRIVE SAFELY
•Before following an instruction (for example, in the
case of changing direction) given by the system,
check that the action would be safe to take in the
current traffic conditions. Continue to pay attention
to safety while following any instruction.
•Do not be distracted by the navigation screen.
Failure to keep your attention on the road could lead
to an accident. When you need to look at the screen
while driving, do so for the shortest time possible
and avoid staring at the screen.
•You must stop the vehicle in a safe place before
operating the navigation system. For safety’s sake,
some of the navigation system’s controls and
functions cannot be used unless the vehicle is
stationary.
•Use this system only in locations where it is legal to
do so. Some states/provinces may have laws
prohibiting video screens within sight of the driver.VOLUME LEVEL
Keep the system’s volume level low enough for you to
be able to hear outside sounds while driving. To do
otherwise may prevent you from reacting
appropriately to traffic conditions and could result in
an accident.

6■Points to note before useStarting the engine before using the system
The navigation system can be used with the ignition key in
either the ON position or the ACC position. To preserve the
battery, however, it should be used with the engine running
whenever possible. Using the system for a long time with
the engine off can cause the battery to run down.Delay before display of current position
The system will not immediately display a correct indication
of your vehicle’s current position after being switched on for
the first time or after the battery has been disconnected for
a long time. It will display a correct current position
indication as soon as it receives Global Positioning System
(GPS) signals.Program reloading after battery disconnection
The navigation program will be erased from the system’s
memory if the battery is disconnected. If this happens, load
the provided DVD-ROM disc in the system’s main unit and
turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position. The
system will automatically reload the program and start
operating normally again.Incorrect operation on rough roads
The system may operate incorrectly or be unable to read the
data on the DVD-ROM disc when subjected to severe
vibration caused by driving on rough roads.
Handling the GPS antenna
Do not paint the antenna. Doing so could impair or prevent
signal reception.Disabled switches
Some switches are disabled during operation of the system.
These switches are displayed in fainter colors and no
messages are displayed for them.Risk of damage to the main unit
Be mindful of the occupant compartment temperature.
Using the system when the occupant compartment
temperature is extremely high or low can damage it or cause
it to malfunction. Also, note that the system’s main unit can
be damaged by strong vibration and by any metallic object or
water that gets inside.Condensation
Condensation can form on the lens inside the main unit
when there is a rapid change in occupant compartment
temperature (for example, when the heater is switched on in
cold weather). Such condensation can cause the system to
operate abnormally. If you wait an hour or so for the
condensation to disappear, the system should start working
normally again. If normal operation is still not restored after
several hours, we recommend that you contact the nearest
SUBARU dealer.
