3. Precautions during use
It is essential to follow the precautions below when using the system, both in the interest of safety and to prevent material damage.
You must always comply with the laws of the country in which you are travelling.
Precautions when operating the system
– perate the controls and read the information on the screen only when road conditions allow.
O
– Set the volume to a reasonable level so that outside noise can be heard.
Precautions regarding navigation
– Use of the navigation system does not in any way replace the responsibility or vigilance of the driver when driving the vehi-
cle.
– Depending on the geographical area, the map on the SD card may not have the latest information on new roads. Be alert.
In all cases, Road Traffic Regulations and road signs always take precedence over the directions of the navigation system.
Precautions concerning the equipment
– Do not attempt to dismantle or modify the system, as there is a risk of damage to equipment and fire.
– Contact a representative of the manufacturer in the event of malfunction and for all operations involving disassembly.
– Do not insert foreign objects or a damaged or dirty SD card into the reader.
– Allows clean your screen with a microfibre cloth or a soft, moistened cloth.
– Use an SD card which is suitable for your navigation system.
The description of the models given in this manual is based on the specifications at the time of writing. This manual covers all
existing functions for the models described. Whether or not they are fitted depends on the equipment model, options selected
and the country where it is sold. This manual may also contain information about functions to be introduced later in the year.
