Digitalized roads may not be identical to the actual roads. When guidance does not
match the actual route, drive the vehicle according to actual road conditions.

The system may provide guidance that differs from the actual route due to a change
in road conditions. When guidance does not match the actual route, drive the vehicle
according to road conditions with observing the traffic regulations. When the vehicle
reaches a zone that matches the actual route, the system guides the route correctly.

Vehicle location may not be displayed correctly if:

The vehicle is driving on a Y-shaped or winding road with narrow angles.

The vehicle is driving closely to another road.

The vehicle is driving on a road where there are many tall buildings in the vicinity.

The vehicle is driving on a new road or a road under construction.

The vehicle is transported by a ferry or heavy-duty transport vehicle.

The vehicle is driving in a rugged mountain area or on a steep curve road.

The vehicle is entering a public road after making a turn through the turntable in an
underground parking lot or multi-story parking lot.

The vehicle stops and starts repeatedly or moves slowly in front of an intersection.

The system reboots after the vehicle battery has been recharged or replaced.

The vehicle is driving on a slippery road due to heavy snow, etc.

The tires have been replaced recently or spare tires (or studless tires) are used.

Improper-sized tires are used or the pressure of each tire is different.

The replaced tire is worn out or the studless tires have been used for over two seasons.

A roof carrier is installed on the vehicle.

On a highway continued driving causes the system to perform map matching or apply
the updated GPS data.

A
Navigation service may not be provided correctly under the following conditions:

When the vehicle drives on a straight road continuously, the system may guide you to
drive straight. It is not a malfunction.

Guidance may not be followed immediately after the vehicle makes a turn at an
intersection or drives through an intersection.

The system may guide you to make a U-turn in a prohibited area.

The system may guide you to a traffic-blocked road (e.g. no-entry road or road under
construction).

The system may guide you to a road away from the destination when there is no road
to the destination or there are only narrow roads on the way.

Guidance may not be proper when the vehicle is off the route.

Guidance may not match the actual distance on an overpass or underpass due to the
difference of the start point.

When you are driving at high speeds, route recalculations may take longer.
