The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage or injury that results from the failure to follow the instructions, cautions,

Please take special note of the following warnings:
1. There is NO obstacle avoidance system included with the manufacturer’s product. The owner must always have a human
present in the operator’s seat of the vehicle when the GeoSteer system is in use to look for any obstacles to avoid
including people, animals, trees, ditches, buildings, etc. and take control of the vehicle and to manually avoid them if
necessary.
2. The GeoSteer system does NOT control the speed of the vehicle. The operator must always adjust the speed of the vehicle
manually so that it is operated at a safe speed that will not cause the vehicle to roll over or go out of control.
3. The GeoSteer system will take over control of the vehicle’s steering system when the GeoSteer system is activated during
testing, calibration, tuning, and automatic steering operations. The vehicle’s steering axles, tracks, articulation point, or
wheels may move unpredictably when activated. Prior to starting the vehicle and/or activating the GeoSteer system, verify
that all people and obstacles are clear of the vehicle to prevent death, injury, or damage to property.
4. Use of the GeoSteer system is NOT permitted while the vehicle is on public roads or in public areas. Verify that the
system is powered OFF before driving on roads or in public areas.
