Safety Information and Precautions
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW MAY INCREASE YOUR RISK OF COLLISION,
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The warning screen is displayed each time the Navi Icon is selected as a reminder to make
use of the system’s navigational aids in a safe manner. Before using the XNAV3550, read this
entire Quick Start Guide. Make sure that you are familiar with the features and know how to
operate the system.
Proper use of the XNAV3550 includes the following guidelines: The navigation system is not
a substitute for your personal judgment. The route suggestions should never supersede any
local traffic regulation or your personal judgment and /or knowledge of safe driving practices.
Prior to completing any maneuvers suggested by your navigation system (for example, a
U-turn or a left turn), verify that you can legally and safely complete the maneuver. Do not
follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, would
place you in an unsafe situation, or would route you into an area that you consider unsafe.
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. Let the voice guide you. If
prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the road to a safe location.
The database may not include all emergency service providers. Use your own best judgment
and ask for directions in these situations. If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should
program the unit. The driver should not program the unit unless the vehicle is parked in a
safe location. The map database provides information on suggested routes without regard
to factors that may affect your driving experience or the time required to arrive at your
destination. For example, the system does not reflect road detours, closures or construction,
some road characteristics (e.g., road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions,
etc.), temporary traffic congestion, weather conditions, and similar factors.
