Safety Precautions and
Important Information
Read this information carefully before starting to
operate the KENWOOD Car Navigation System
and follow the instructions in this manual.
Neither KENWOOD nor Garmin shall be liable for
problems or accidents resulting from failure to
observe the instructions in this manual.
# WARNING
Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations could result in an
accident or collision resulting in death or
serious injury.
When navigating, carefully compare information
displayed on the navigation system to all
available navigation sources, including
information from street signs, visual sightings,
and maps. For safety, always resolve any
discrepancies or questions before continuing
navigation.
Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Do not become distracted by the navigation
system while driving, and always be fully aware
of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount of
time spent viewing the screen of the navigation
system while driving, and use voice prompts
when possible.
Do not enter destinations, change settings, or
access any functions requiring prolonged use
of the navigation system controls while driving.
Stop your vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before attempting such operations.
Keep the system volume at a low enough level
to be able to hear outside noises while driving.
If you can no longer hear outside noises, you
may be unable to react adequately to the traffic
situation. This may cause accidents.
The navigation system will not display the
correct current position of the vehicle the first
time it is used after purchase, or if the vehicle
battery is disconnected. GPS satellite signals
will soon be received, however, and the correct
position will be displayed.
Be careful of the ambient temperature. Using the
navigation system at extreme temperatures can
lead to malfunction or damage. Also note that
the unit can be damaged by strong vibration,
by metal objects, or by water getting inside the
unit.
# CAUTION
Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations may result in injury or
property damage.
The navigation system is designed to provide
you with route suggestions. It does not reflect
road closures or road conditions, weather
conditions, or other factors that may affect safety
or timing while driving.
Use the navigation system only as a navigational
aid. Do not attempt to use the navigation system
for any purpose requiring precise measurement
of direction, distance, location, or topography.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated
by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance.
The government system is subject to changes
that could affect the accuracy and performance
of all GPS equipment, including the navigation
system. Although the navigation system is a
precision navigation device, any navigation
device can be misused or misinterpreted and,
therefore, become unsafe.
Ñ IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Vehicle Battery Preservation
This navigation system can be used when the
ignition key is turned to ON or ACC. To preserve
the battery, however, it should be used with
the engine running whenever possible. Using
the navigation system for a long time with the
engine switched off can cause the battery to run
down.
Map Data Information
One of the goals of Garmin is to provide
customers with the most complete and
accurate cartography that is available to us at
a reasonable cost. We use a combination of
governmental and private data sources, which
we identify in product literature and copyright
messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually
all data sources contain some inaccurate or
incomplete data. In some countries, complete
and accurate map information is either not
available or is prohibitively expensive.
