WARNING Pioneer does not recommend that you install

your navigation system yourself. We recom-

mend that only authorized Pioneer service

personnel, who have special training and ex-

perience in mobile electronics, set up and in-

stall this product. NEVER SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF. Installing or servi-

cing this product and its connecting cables

may expose you to the risk of electric shock

or other hazards, and can cause damage to

the navigation system that is not covered by

! This navigation system may in certain cir-

cumstances display inaccurate position of

your vehicle, the distance of objects shown

on the screen, and compass directions. In

addition, the system has certain limita-

tions, including the inability to identify one-

way streets, temporary traffic restrictions

and potentially unsafe driving areas. Please

yourself, and have special training and ex-

perience in the mobile electronics instal-

lations, please carefully follow all of the

steps in the installation manual.

! Secure all wiring with cable clamps or

electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wir-

ing to remain exposed.

! Do not directly connect the yellow lead of

this product to the vehicle battery. If the

lead is directly connected to the battery,

engine vibration may eventually cause

the insulation to fail at the point where

the wire passes from the passenger com-

partment into the engine compartment. If

the yellow lead’s insulation tears as a re-

sult of contact with metal parts, short-cir-

cuiting can occur, resulting in

considerable danger.
