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 the 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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Do not select or input destinations, change settings or otherwise manually
operate this software unless you have parked your car in a safe manner,
observing all traffic regulations.
•
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.
