Statements

identify conditions

that could result

WARNINGS

DO NOT mount the unit over airbag panels or within airbag
expansion spaces. The force of an expanding airbag can thrust objects
in its path toward the driver or passengers with injurious result.

DO NOT think this NAV ONE is a substitute for personal judgment.
The route suggestions should never supersede any local traffic
regulation, personal judgment or knowledge of safe driving
practices. Before making any maneuvers suggested by the NAV
ONE system (for example, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that the
maneuver can be legally and safely completed. Do not follow route
suggestions if they suggest an unsafe or illegal maneuver, would
place the vehicle in an unsafe situation, or would route the vehicle
into an area that could be unsafe.

DO NOT program this NAV ONE while driving. Only a passenger
should operate controls or program the unit while the vehicle is
in motion. The driver should not program the system unless the
vehicle is parked in a safe location.

ONLY glance at the screen when necessary and safe to do so.
Listen to the computer voice guidance. If prolonged viewing is
necessary, pull off the road to a safe location.

WARNINGS

DO NOT depend on this NAV ONE system to locate emergency
services (such as police, fire stations, hospitals and clinics).
The database may not include all emergency service providers.
Use judgment and ask for directions in these situations.

DO NOT position the unit in a location that obstructs the driver’s
view of the road, instruments or controls to operate the vehicle.

DO NOT drive the vehicle unless the unit is securely attached
to the windshield with the supplied bracket and suction cup
or is fastened by other reliable means to keep it from becoming
a projectile hazard inside the vehicle in the event of a violent
maneuver or collision.

DO NOT disassemble or modify the system; personal injury or damage
could result. If a problem occurs, stop using the system immediately
and contact Cobra. Changes or modifications to the system may void
its compliance with FCC rules and make it illegal to use.

DO position the unit so the screen can be viewed with just
a quick glance.

DO set the volume at a level that will allow the hearing of
outside traffic and emergency services.
