Please note that watching and operating any video sources while driving are prohibited by law in some    countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.• When using the navigation system, follow the precautions listed below. After reading this manual,    be sure to keep it in a handy place (such as the glove box of your car).• This navigation system should not be used to replace your own judgment. No itinerary suggested    by this navigation system should ever override any highway regulations, your own judgment, or a    knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow the navigation system’s suggested itinerary if it    would cause you to perform a dangerous or illegal act, place you in a dangerous situation, or take    you into an area you consider unsafe.• The advice provided by the navigation system is to be regarded as a suggestion only. There    may be times when the navigation system displays the vehicle’s location incorrectly, fails to    suggest the shortest route, or fails to direct you to your desired destination. In such instances, rely    on your own driving judgment, taking into account the driving conditions at the time.• Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services. The database does not contain a    complete listing of emergency services such as police stations, fire halls, hospitals and walk-in    clinics. Please show discretion and ask for directions in such instances.• As the driver, you alone are responsible for your driving safety.  • In order to avoid a traffic accident, do not operate the system while driving.  • In order to avoid a traffic accident, operate the system only when the vehicle is stopped at a safe      place and the parking brake is on.  • In order to avoid a traffic accident or traffic offense, remember that actual road conditions and      traffic regulations take precedence over the information contained on the navigation system.  • The software may contain inaccurate or incomplete information due to the passage of time,      changing circumstances, and the sources of information used. Please respect current traffic      conditions and regulations at all times while driving.  • Where actual road conditions and highway regulations differ from the information contained on      the navigation system, abide by the highway regulations.  • Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving to a strict minimum.• The navigation system does not provide, nor represent in any way information on: traffic and    highway regulations; technical aspects of the vehicle including weight, height, width, load and    speed limits; road conditions including grade, percentage of incline and surface conditions;    obstacles such as the height and width of bridges and tunnels; and other current driving or road    conditions. Always rely on your own judgment when driving a car, taking into account current    driving conditions.• Do not disassemble or modify this unit. It may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.• Do not use this unit when a trouble exists, such as no screen content appears or no sound is    audible. It may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock. For that case, consult your authorized    dealer or a nearest Clarion service center.• In case of a problem, such as foreign materials have entered in the unit, the unit gets wet, or    smoke or strange smells come out of the unit, etc., stop using this unit immediately, and consult    your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center.  Using it in that condition may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.• Use a fuse with the same specification only when replacing the fuse.  Using a fuse with a different specification may causes a fire.• For the installation of this unit or a change in the installation, ask your authorized dealer or a    nearest Clarion service center for safety. Professional skills and experiences are required to do so.WARNING
