PRECAUTIONS AND NOTICES IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT This product is intended to provide turn by turn instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please make certain that all persons using this navigation system carefully read these precautions and the following instructions fully. 1 This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by this navigation system may never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow route suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe. 2 Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over in a safe and legal manner and location. 3 Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor and/or remote control while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system. 4 Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services. Not all locations of emergency services such as police and fire stations, hospitals and clinics are contained in the database. Please use your own judgment and ask for directions in these situations. 5 The map database used in the navigation system is the most recent map data available at the time of production. Because of changes in streets and neighborhoods, there may be situations where the navigation system is not able to route you to your desired destination. In these cases, use your own judgment. 6 The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions and does not take into account the relative safety of a suggested route or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your destination. The system does not reflect road closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your own personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route. 2 7 There may be situations where the navigation system displays the vehicle's location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please be aware that in this situation the navigation system should correct the vehicle's position automatically. However, there may be times where you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the case, pull over in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting operation. 8 Make certain that the volume level of the navigation system is set to a level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles. If there is anything in the manual about the operation of the navigation system which you are uncertain about, please contact your local Alpine authorized navigation dealer or Alpine at 1-888-NAV-HELP (1-888-628-4357) before using the navigation system.
