focused on safe driving behavior, especially
pay attention to traffic and street signs, and
should utilize the system's audio cues while
driving.
The navigation system does not supply any
information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. Their
observance always remains in the driver's
personal responsibility. DVD maps do not
cover all areas nor all routes within an area.
Traffic regulations always have priority over
any route recommendations given. Bear in
mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
During route guidance, you will not receive
information on:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield signs
R parking or stopping zones
R one-way streets
R narrow bridges
R other traffic regulation data
You should therefore always strictly observe
traffic regulations while driving. Drive
carefully and always obey traffic laws and
road signs, even if they contradict navigation
system instructions.
G WARNING
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you while driving without diverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of
consulting the map display for directions.
Consulting the symbols or map display for
directions may cause you to divert your
attention from driving and increase your risk
of an accident.
G WARNING
Please do not use the Voice Control System
in an emergency, as the tone of your voice
may change in a stressful situation. This could
cause a delay in completing your phone call
in a timely manner. This could distract you in
an emergency situation and cause you to be
involved in an accident.
