Safety Precautions and Important Information
Read this information carefully before starting
to operate the Kenwood Car Navigation
System and follow the instructions in this
manual. Neither Kenwood nor Garmin shall
be liable for problems or accidents resulting
from failure to observe the instructions in this
manual.
2WARNINGS
Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations could result in an
accident or collision resulting in death or
serious injury.
When navigating, carefully compare
information displayed on the navigation
system to all available navigation sources,
including information from street signs,
visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always
resolve any discrepancies or questions before
continuing navigation.
Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Do not become distracted by the navigation
system while driving, and always be fully
aware of all driving conditions. Minimize the
amount of time spent viewing the screen of
the navigation system while driving, and use
voice prompts when possible.
Do not enter destinations, change settings,
or access any functions requiring prolonged
use of the navigation system controls while
driving. Stop your vehicle in a safe and legal
manner before attempting such operations.
Keep the system volume at a low enough
level to be able to hear outside noises
while driving. If you can no longer hear
outside noises, you may be unable to react
adequately to the traffic situation. This may
cause accidents.
The navigation system will not display the
correct current position of the vehicle the first
time it is used after purchase, or if the vehicle
battery is disconnected. GPS satellite signals
will soon be received, however, and the
correct position will be displayed.
Be careful of the ambient temperature.
Using the navigation system at extreme
temperatures can lead to malfunction or
damage. Also note that the unit can be
damaged by strong vibration, by metal
objects, or by water getting inside the unit.
2CAUTIONS
Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations may result in injury
or property damage.
The navigation system is designed to provide
you with route suggestions. It does not reflect
road closures or road conditions, weather
conditions, or other factors that may affect
safety or timing while driving.
Use the navigation system only as a
navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the
navigation system for any purpose requiring
precise measurement of direction, distance,
location, or topography.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is
operated by the United States government,
which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The government system
is subject to changes that could affect
the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment, including the navigation system.
Although the navigation system is a precision
navigation device, any navigation device can
be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,
become unsafe.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Vehicle Battery Preservation
This navigation system can be used when
the ignition key is turned to ON or ACC. To
preserve the battery, however, it should be
used with the engine running whenever
possible. Using the navigation system for a
long time with the engine switched off can
cause the battery to run down.
