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.
