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 and personal injury.
The Please Drive Safely screen is displayed each time the NavMate
Navigation System is turned ON as a reminder to make use of the system’s 
navigational aids in a safe manner. 
Before using the NavMate Navigation System, read this entire manual. Make
sure that you are familiar with the system’s features and know how to operate 
the system. Proper use of the NavMate Navigation System includes the 
following guidelines:
• The NavMate 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
computer voice guide you. If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the 
road to a safe location.
