! WARNING
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.
Keep SD cards away from small children. Infants may swallow an SD card by mistake. If an SD card is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Always use your best judgement and 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. Minimise the amount of time spent viewing the navigation screen while driving and use voice prompts when possible.
Do not input destinations, change settings or access any functions requiring prolonged use of the navigation system controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations.
When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the navigation system to all available navigation sources, including road signs, road closures, road conditions, traffic
congestion, weather conditions and other factors that may affect safety while driving. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation and defer to posted road signs and road conditions.
