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.
