• Don’t use a cellular phone when you are
driving. You must stop at a safe place to use
a cellular phone.
• The use of the navigation radio by no means relieves the driver of his/her responsibilities.
The highway code must always be observed.
Always observe the current traffi c situation.
• The applicable traffi c regulations and the
prevailing traffi c situation always take
precedence over the instructions issued by
the navigation system if they contradict one
another.
• For traffi c safety reasons, use the navigation
system menus only before starting a journey
or when the vehicle is stationary.
• In certain areas, one-way streets and turn off and entry prohibitions (e.g. pedestrian
zones) are not recorded. In areas such as
these the navigation system will issue a
warning. Pay particular attention to one-way
streets and turn off and entry restrictions. • The navigation system does not take the
relative safety of the suggested routes into
consideration.
Road blocks, building sites, height or weight
restrictions, traffi c or weather conditions
or other infl uences which aff ect the route
safety or travel time are not taken into
consideration for the suggested routes. Use
your own discretion in order to decide on
the suitability of the suggested routes.
• The current legal road traffi c speed limit
always takes priority over the values saved
on the data. It is impossible to provide an
assurance that the speed values of the
navigation system will always match those
of the current traffi c regulations in every
situation.
• Always observe the applicable legal speed limits the traffi c regulations. The vehicle
speedometer must always be given priority
for display of the vehicle speed.
• Do not rely exclusively on the navigation system when attempting to locate an
emergency service (hospital, fi re service
etc.). It cannot be guaranteed that all
available emergency services in your vicinity
are saved in the database. Use your own
discretion and abilities to secure help in
such situations.
