Safety Information and Precautions
WARNING!
Please read and follow the following safety precautions.
Failure to follow the instructions below may increase your risk of collision and
personal injury.
The
Please Drive Safely screen
is displayed each time the NavMate software is turned ON as a
reminder to make use of the system’s navigational aids in a safe manner.
Before using the NavMate software, read this entire manual. Make sure that you are familiar with
the system’s features and know how to operate the system. Proper use of the NavMate software
includes the following guidelines:
The NavMate software is not a substitute for your personal judgment. The route suggestions
should never supersede any local traffic regulation or your personal judgment and /or knowledge
of safe driving practices. Prior to completing any maneuvers suggested by your NavMate
software (for example, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that you can legally and safely complete the
maneuver. Do not follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe or illegal
maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or would route you into an area that you
consider unsafe.
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. Let the computer voice guide you.
If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the road to a safe location.
Do not use the NavMate software to locate emergency services (such as police, fire stations,
hospitals, and clinics). The database may not include all emergency service providers. Use your
own best judgment and ask for directions in these situations.
If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should program the NavMate software. The driver
should not program the system unless the vehicle is parked in a safe location.
The NavMate software’s map database provides information on suggested routes without regard
to factors that may affect your driving experience or the time required to arrive at your
destination. For example, the system does not reflect road detours, closures or construction,
some road characteristics (e.g., road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.),
temporary traffic congestion, weather conditions, and similar factors.
