Important safety information
WARNING
! Do not attempt to install or service your navi-
gation system by yourself. Installation or servi-
cing of the navigation system by persons
without training and experience in electronic
equipment and automotive accessories may
be dangerous and could expose you to the
risk of electric shock or other hazards.
! If liquid or foreign matter should get inside
this navigation system, park your vehicle to
safe place and turn the ignition switch off
(ACC OFF) immediately and consult your deal-
er or the nearest authorised Pioneer Service
Station. Do not use the navigation system in
this condition because doing so may result in
a fire, electric shock, or other failure.
! If you notice smoke, a strange noise or odour
from the navigation system, or any other ab-
normal signs on the LCD screen, turn off the
power immediately and consult your dealer or
the nearest authorised Pioneer Service Sta-
tion. Using this navigation system in this con-
dition may result in permanent damage to the
system.
! Do not disassemble or modify this navigation
system, as there are high-voltage components
inside which may cause an electric shock. Be
sure to consult your dealer or the nearest
authorised Pioneer Service Station for internal
inspection, adjustments or repairs.
! Do not allow this product to come into contact
with liquids. Electrical shock could result.
Also, damage to the product, smoke, and over-
heating could result from contact with liquids.
CAUTION
When a route is calculated, the route and voice
guidance for the route are automatically set.
Also, for day or time traffic regulations, only infor-
mation about traffic regulations applicable at the
time when the route was calculated is consid-
ered. One-way streets and street closures may
not be taken into consideration. For example, if a
street is open during the morning only, but you
arrive later, it would be against the traffic regula-
22
Engb
tions so you cannot drive along the set route.
When driving, please follow the actual traffic
signs. Also, the system may not know some traf-
fic regulations.
Before using your navigation system, be sure
to read and fully understand the following
safety information:

this navigation system.

system (and rear view camera option if pur-
chased) are intended solely as an aid to
you in the operation of your vehicle. It is
not a substitute for your attentiveness, jud-
gement, and care when driving.
! Do not operate this navigation system (or
the rear view camera option if purchased) if
doing so will divert your attention in any
way from the safe operation of your vehicle.
Always observe safe driving rules and fol-
low all existing traffic regulations. If you ex-
perience difficulty in operating the system
or reading the display, park your vehicle in
a safe location and apply the handbrake be-
fore making the necessary adjustments.
! Never allow others to use the system un-
less they have read and understood the op-
erating instructions.

to hospitals, police stations or similar facil-
ities in an emergency. Stop using any func-
tions relating to the hands-free phoning

tem. Always obey current traffic restric-
tions, even if the navigation system
provides contrary advice.
