WA R N I N G
READ THIS MANUAL FIRSTRead 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 sup-
plement.
OBEY LOCAL ROAD SIGNS AND REGULATIONSAlways 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data on the DVD-ROM disc may be outdated due to changes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 fac-
tors such as the weather, road congestion at different times
of the day, temporary road closures due to road construc-
tion, 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.
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 acci-
dent. 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 naviga-
tion system's controls and functions cannot be used unless
the vehicle is stationary.
•When you need to look at the navigation screen, do so for
the shortest time possible. Looking away from the road for
too long could lead to an accident.
•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.
•If you stare at the display with too much enthusiasm or oper-
ate the switches of the system while in driving, the naviga-
tion system could cause your attention to be distracted from
the current traffic conditions. Please be sure to input in the
system as much information as possible before taking your
departure. And also please be sure to bring your car to a
stop in a safe place if you need to input information.
•The buttons for the touch screen that cannot be used are
displayed in light color (tone down).Operating the navigation system while in driving could cause
your attention to be distracted from the current traffic condi-
tions. And in consequence, this could result in a severe or fatal
accident. Follow the descriptions of all operations and the
instructions for safety given in this manual without fail.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 con-
ditions and could result in an accident.

Before Use
■Handling precautions for DVD-ROM discs•Handle DVD-ROM discs carefully. Any DVD-ROM disc with excessive
warping or scratches on its surface can cause reading errors.
•Store DVD-ROM discs away from direct sunlight, which can cause
warping and render them unusable.
•DVD-ROM discs rotate at high speeds inside the system's main unit.
Never use a cracked or badly warped disc; doing so could damage
the unit.
•To clean a DVD-ROM disc, lightly wipe it with a soft cloth in straight
lines from the center hole toward the outer edge.
•Never clean DVD-ROM discs with benzene, thinner, record spray,
antistatic spray, or chemical swabs.
•Do not touch the DVD-ROM disc's data surface (the surface without
a printed label). A dirty data surface can cause reading errors. Always
hold a DVD-ROM disc by the center hole and at one point on the
outer edge, or by two points on the outer edge.
•Do not write anything on DVD-ROM discs or affix anything, such as
stickers, to them.
