Precautions
Very important information. Please read this section carefully before using this product.
This product is intended to provide turn-by-turn instructions to safely guide you to your desired
destination. Please make sure that all persons using this navigation software carefully read these
precautions and the operating instructions in Nextar software manual.
Nextar cannot accept any responsibility whatsoever for accidents resulting from failure to observe
these precautions.
Your personal judgment, traffic regulations, and common sense must always take
precedence over instructions produced by the software.
e
This product is not a substitute for your driving technique, driving knowledge or especially
your personal judgment. Route suggestions made by this navigation system should never
supersede any traffic regulations, your personal judgment, or your knowledge of safe driving
practices. If you feel that a route suggestion made by the software instructs you to perform an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area that
you consider unsafe, do not follow the instructions.
Your personal judgment, traffic regulations,
and common sense must always take precedence over instructions produced by the software.
e
When your vehicle is moving, keep your eyes on the road instead of looking at the screen. If
you need to look at the screen for a prolonged time, always park the car in a safe manner and
in accordance with all traffic regulations.
e
Do not select or input destinations, change settings or otherwise manually operate this soft-
ware unless you have parked your car in a safe manner, observing all traffic regulations.
e
If you are responding to an emergency, it may not be prudent to rely on this system unless
you have no other means to obtain accurate directions. The database does not include all of
the facilities and streets necessary for emergency response, and the system’s maps may not
reflect recent changes in roads, traffic controls and driving conditions. Use your own judgment
in these situations.
e
The database utilized by this software is the most accurate and up-to-date database available.
Because of road closures, construction, weather, new roads and other conditions, the data-
base might not contain accurate information regarding all streets and locations. If so, the sys-
tem might not be able to correctly guide you on your route or may inaccurately estimate the
time needed to reach your destination. Please use your judgment in these cases. Renewing
your subscription to the database will aid in keeping it up-to-date.
e
There are situations when the navigation system will incorrectly display the vehicle’s position
on the map. Usually this situation will correct itself automatically. Use your own judgment at all
times. If you need to reset the position, pull over in a safe manner observing all traffic regula-
tions.
