Before Using the Navigation System
WA R N I N G
Read this manual first
Read this manual carefully before using the navigation
system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems
resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this
manual.
Follow all road signs and traffic rules
When driving using guidance from the navigation system,
be sure to follow the actual road signs and traffic
regulations. If road signs and traffic regulations are
changed, the data on the SD card may be out of date. Also,
the data on the map SD card does not take into account
factors such as weather, time zones, and occurrences such as
differences in congestion situations and temporary road
closures due to construction work. Always give precedence
to road signs and traffic rules over instructions from the
navigation system.
Not following the road signs and traffic rules could lead to
injury or traffic violations.
Drive safely
• Before following instructions from the navigation system
(changing lanes and so on), ch eck that you can carry out the
maneuver safely given the current traffic conditions. Always
put safety first before following any instructions.
• Do not watch the navigation screen while driving.
Ignoring surrounding traffic could lead to an accident. If you
need to look at the screen whil e driving, make sure you only
glance at the screen.
• You should stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating
the navigation system. For safety's sake, some of the
navigation system's buttons 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.
• Make sure this system is installed in a position legally
allowed in the country where you intend to use it. Some
countries and regions do not allow video screens to be
installed within the driver's line of sight.

• If you stare at the display too much or operate the buttons of
the system while driving, th e navigation system could
distract your attention from the current traffic conditions. Be
sure to enter as much information as possible into the
system before departing. Also, be sure to stop your vehicle
in a safe place if you need to enter information.
• Buttons on the touch screen that cannot be used have their
colors toned down.
Operating the navigation syst em while driving could cause
your attention to be distracted from the current traffic
conditions. This could result in a severe or fatal accident. Be
sure to follow all the operation descriptions and safety
instructions given in this manual.
Volume
• Keep the system's volume level low enough for you to be
able to hear outside sounds while driving. Otherwise, you
may not be able to react appropriately to traffic conditions,
resulting in an accident.
CAUTION
Foreign objects
Do not place foreign objects, such as fingers, into the disc
insertion slot.
If foreign objects enter the system's main unit, it could lead
to electric shock or fire. If the system emits smoke or an
unusual smell, stop using it immediately and contact the
nearest SUBARU dealer.
Never disassemble or modify the system
Never disassemble or modify any parts of the system. Doing
so may lead to a fire, an electric shock, or some other type of
accident.
Do not continue using the navigation system if it malfunctions
If the system shows any sign of malfunctioning (for example,
the monitor displays no pictur e), stop using it immediately
and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer.
Continuing to use the system could lead to a fire, an electric
shock, or some other type of accident.
If the navigation system gets contaminated, or emits smoke or
an odd smell, stop using it
If a foreign object gets inside the system, liquid is spilled
onto the system, or the system emits smoke or an unusual
