Signal noise from devices such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, and additional amplifiers can dis rupt the navigation system. If you

Enter information before you begin driving or when stopped. As yo u drive, listen to the audible instructions and use voice commands when possible. Pull to the
side of the road if you need more time to look at the screen or operate the controls.
Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.
The system itself may also have limitations. Verify route info rmation by carefully observing roads, signs, and signals. Always use your own judgment and obey
traffic laws.
