INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONThe symbols described below are found in this instruction manual as well as on the unit itself to insure its proper and safe usage and to prevent injury or damage to property. Make sure you understand the meaning of these symbols before reading the rest of this manual.READ FIRSTWe recommend that you wait until the positioning stabilizes before starting to drive.If you start to drive while the positioning is not complete, the indicated position may differ from the actual vehicle position.The screens shown in this manual may differ from the actual screens depending on the data type or when the map data was created.When maps are created, land surveys are conducted and information on road improvements and reopening is collected to provide the most accurate information possible. However, modications to roads, place names and facilities may be carried out at any time. Consequently, we cannot guarantee that map data contains no errors in road positions, conguration and names, or in facility names.INTRODUCTION4

PRECAUTIONS FOR USEWARNING lThe main unit requires a 12 V DC power supply. The main unit should not be installed in any vehicle which does not have a 12 V power system with a ground-connected negative side. An installation other than the one intended may cause severe damage to the main unit, and electric shock or serious injury to the users. lEven when using the route guidance of the navigation system, be sure to drive by following the actual trafc regulations. If you drive by following only the route guidance of the navigation system, you may violate the actual trafc regulations and cause a trafc accident. lTo ensure safety, the driver should not operate the navigation system while driving. Operating the navigation system while driving may result in an accidental steering wheel operation or otherwise cause an accident. Stop the vehicle before operating the navigation system. Also, do not watch the screen while driving because doing so may be dangerous (ETC). Inattention to road conditions ahead may result in an accident. lThe driver should not perform operations such as volume adjustment while driving. Inattention to road conditions ahead may result in an accident, so be sure to stop the vehicle in a safe place before performing the operation. lThe driver should not change discs while driving. Inattention to road conditions ahead may result in an accident, so be sure to stop the vehicle in a safe place before performing the operation. lThe driver should not perform operations such as adding a location or setting the memory while driving. Inattention to road conditions ahead may result in an accident, so be sure to stop the vehicle in a safe place before performing the operation. lTo ensure safety, never operate a cell phone while driving. lDo not let foreign objects enter the disc slot. Doing so may result in a re or electric shock. lDo not disassemble or modify the unit. Doing so may result in an accident, re or electric shock. lDo not let water or foreign objects enter the internal parts of the unit. Doing so may result in smoke, re or an electric shock. lDo not use the unit when it is malfunctioning, such as when the screen is not lit or no sound comes out. Doing so may result in an accident, re or electric shock.INTRODUCTION6
lAlways replace fuses with fuses of the same specied capacity (amperage). Using a fuse with a higher capacity than the specication may result in a re. lIf a foreign object or water enters the unit, smoke or a strange odor may be emitted. If such an abnormality occurs, stop using the unit immediately and contact your SUBARU dealer. An accident, re or electric shock may result if you continue to use the unit under these conditions. lIn a thunderstorm, do not touch the antenna line or the unit. Lightning may cause an electric shock. lDo not park or stop in prohibited areas to use the unit. lIf direct sunlight shines into the vehicle, light may reect off the product. Be very careful while driving. lNever use headphones or earphones while driving. Driving while not being able to hear sounds from outside the vehicle may result in a trafc accident.CAUTION lAlthough the unit can be used when the ignition switch is set to either “ACC” or “ON” position, to protect the battery, start the engine before using the unit. lDo not use the unit anywhere other than in a vehicle. Doing so may result in an electric shock or other injury. lWhile driving, keep the volume low enough for you to hear outside sounds. Driving while not being able to hear sounds from outside the vehicle may result in an accident. lBe careful of the volume when turning on the power. If a loud noise is emitted suddenly when you turn on the power, it may damage your hearing. lDo not apply a strong force to the display. Doing so may result in a malfunction. lDo not put your ngers or hands into the disc slot. Doing so may result in an injury. lDo not touch the hot parts of the unit. The hot parts may burn you. lDo not use while there is an abnormality such as sound breakup or distortion. Doing so may result in a re. lUsing the unit during extremely high or low temperature may result in mistaken operation or a malfunction. In particular, the temperature inside the vehicle can often rise to a high level during the summer. Cool the vehicle, for example by opening a window, before using the unit. lBe careful if metal or water enters the unit, or the unit is exposed to a strong impact, because it may result in a malfunction. lThe touch buttons on the display screen may not operate correctly if condensation forms inside them. If this happens, do not attempt to operate the switches until the condensation has disappeared.INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION7
lIf juice or similar liquid is spilled on the display, wipe off immediately. Failure to do so may result in product malfunction. lThe screen is easily marked by ngerprints and tends to attracts dust, and should therefore be cleaned occasionally. When cleaning, turn off the power, and wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. To remove dirt, soak a soft cloth in neutral detergent and squeeze well before wiping. Do not use a wet oor-cloth, organic solvents (benzene, ethanol, thinner, etc.), acids, or alkalis. Using such agents will result in screen deterioration. Furthermore, do not hit the screen or rub it with hard objects.NOTE lSUBARU CORPORATION is not responsible for any damages to the purchaser or third parties that occur from using the map data. lWe do not provide any replacements or refunds for any mistakes there may be in the map data displays or contents, such as misspelling, omissions or misaligned positions. lSUBARU CORPORATION makes no guarantee that the functions included in the map data will be appropriate for the specic objectives of the purchaser. lFunctions that cannot be operated while driving have their colors toned down when the vehicle is being driven, and their operation is disabled. Touching a disabled switch may result in the display of an operation prohibited message on the screen.NOTE lDuring strong vibrations, such as when driving on a poor road surface, the unit may no longer be able to read the data from the disc, and it will not operate correctly. When the vibration lessens, normal operation will return after a short time. lImmediately after turning on the heater when the temperature is low, dew (water drops) may adhere to the lens of the CD reader (condensation). If this happens, leaving the unit for about an hour should remove the condensation and return the unit to normal operation. If the unit does not return to normal operation even after several hours, contact your SUBARU dealer. lWhen using the unit for the rst time after purchase, or after the battery was removed for a long time, the current position may not be displayed correctly. Wait a short time until the GPS positioning corrects the displayed position. lThis device is precision-engineered equipment and the recorded data can be lost as a result of static electricity, electrical noise, vibration, or other inuences. To protect the device against data loss, we recommend keeping a separate record of the data that you record after purchase. lThe screen may be adversely affected or disturbed by noise if electrical equipment that generates powerful electrical noise is used near the system. In such cases, keep the electrical equipment at a distance, or refrain from use.INTRODUCTION8
NOTE lThe display may appear brighter when the temperature is low, or immediately after starting the engine, however, this is a characteristic of the LED elements, and does not indicate a fault. The display will return to its original brightness when the vehicle cabin has warmed up. lWhen you look at the screen through polarized material such as polarized sunglasses, the screen may be dark and hard to see. If so, look at the screen from different angles, adjust the screen settings on the general settings screen or take off your sunglasses. lIt may be difcult to view the screen if the display is exposed to sunlight from an awkward angle. lThe LCD screen may not function normally if covered with a protective lm. Do not afx a protective lm. lThe touch panel may function incorrectly or fail to respond if operated with objects other than ngers (nails, operation when wearing gloves, pens, etc.) lWhen inserting or removing CDs, take care not to touch the touch panel. The touch panel will respond if inadvertently touched by hand. lIf the system functions unexpectedly such as an area other than the one touched being selected, or failure to respond when touched, there is a possibility that another nger or part of the hand is in contact with display. lScratches on the system panel surface are easily noticeable, and it should therefore be handled with care.SAFETY INSTRUCTION (7-inch system/6.5-inch system only)To use this system in the safest possible manner, follow all the safety tips shown below.Do not use any feature of this system to the extent it becomes a distraction and prevents safe driving.
