WA R N I N G
READ THIS MANUAL FIRSTRead this supplement carefully before using the 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 navi gation 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data on the DVD-ROM disc may  be outdated due to changes 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 yo u need to input information.
• The buttons for the touch screen that cannot be used are 
greyed out.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.

18 NavigationBefore Use■Points to note before useStarting the engine before using the systemThe navigation system can be used with the ignition key in either th e 
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 positionThe 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 displa y 
a correct current position indication as soon as it receives Global Po si-
tioning System (GPS) signals.
Program reloading after battery disconnectionThe navigation program will be erased from the system's memory if 
the battery is disconnected. If th is 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 pro-
gram and start operating normally again.
Incorrect operation on rough roadsThe 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 antennaDo 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 dis-
played for them.
Risk of damage to the main unitBe mindful of the occupant compartment temperature. Using the 
system when the occupant compar tment temperature is extremely 
high or low can damage it or cause it to malfunction. Also, note that 
the system's main unit can be da maged by strong vibration and by 
any metallic object or water that gets inside.
CondensationCondensation can form on the lens  inside the main unit when there 
is a rapid change in occupant compartment temperature (for exam-
ple, when the heater is switched on  in cold weather). Such condensa-
tion can cause the system to operate abnormally. If you wait an hour  
or so for the condensation to di sappear, the system should start 
working normally again. If normal op eration is still not restored after 
several hours, we recommend that you contact the nearest SUBARU 
dealer.
Replacing the DVD-ROM discIf you need to replace the DVD-ROM disc, make sure the replacement 
disc is compatible with your system's main unit. Inserting an incom-
patible disc could damage the unit.
