Be sure to keep the following instructions. Otherwise, it may cause serious injury or accident.
ÝDriving
Obey all traffic laws while driving.
 Relying solely on the navigation system may cause violation of traffic rules and regulations, resulting in an
accident.
In order to check the vehicle speed, see the speedometer first, not the speed on the
navigation system.
The speed on the navigation system may differ from actual vehicle speed.
While driving, refrain from watching the screen.
An accident may occur by negligence in keeping your eyes forward.
To manipulate the screen or buttons requiring multiple steps, be sure to stop your vehicle.
To use your mobile phone, first stop your vehicle.
When you use your mobile phone while driving, it may disperse your attention, resulting in an accident.
If necessary, use handsfree (Bluetooth) calling when driving and minimize the call time.
Make sure that the volume of the phone is sufficiently low so that the external sound is
audible.
When you drive with no external sound present may cause a traffic accident.
When you drive for a long time with a loud audio volume, it may affect your hearing.
For emergency services (e.g. hospital, fire station), do not rely solely on the navigation
system.
Some emergency services may not be included in the navigation map. Check relevant information in advance
to stay prepared for an emergency.
ÝSystem handling
Do NOT arbitrarily disassemble or modify the system.
 It may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.
Exercise caution to make sure that no liquid or foreign materials enter the system.
It may cause smoke generation, fire ignition, or system failure.
When the screen is not displayed, the volume is muted, or other system failures occur,
immediately stop using the system.
Otherwise, it may cause fire, electric shock, or fatal system failure.

A
If you experience any problems with the system, contact your place of purchase or dealer.
