BMW III - Manual (Page 3)

Warnings
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in
an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.
The BMW Motorrad Navigator III must only be secured to BMW motorcycles
with holders approved by BMW Motorrad.
For use in or on other vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator
of the BMW Motorrad Navigator III to place and secure the unit so that it does
not interfere with vehicle operating controls or obstruct the driver’s view of the
road (see diagram). The mounting hardware provided by BMW Motorrad is not
warranted against collision damage or the consequences thereof.
Do not mount where
driver’s field of vision
is blocked.
Do not place
unsecured on the
vehicle dashboard.
Do not mount in front of an airbag field of deployment.
Tighten the security screw on the top of the motorcycle mount before driving
with the BMW Motorcycle Navigator III. Failure to tighten the screw could result
in the unit falling out of the mount that could cause bodily injury or property
damage in addition to damage to the unit.
It is the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a
safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and
not become distracted by the BMW Motorrad Navigator III to the exclusion of
safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the BMW Motorrad
Navigator III while you are riding or driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle
equipped with a BMW Motorrad Navigator III to pay full attention to operation
of the vehicle and road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result in
an accident with property damage and personal injury.
Using the BMW Motorrad Navigator III in no way relieves the driver of
responsibility. The currently valid traffic regulations must always be observed. Be
aware of the current traffic situation at all times. It is more important to observe
the road traffic than look at the display. If the current traffic situation and the
information of the BMW Motorrad Navigator III are conflicting, the currently
valid traffic regulations and the current traffic situation always have priority over
the information given by the BMW Motorrad Navigator III.
For road safety reasons, enter details in the Navigator III before starting the
journey or with the motorcycle stationary. Only look at the display if the traffic
situation allows it; it is more important to observe the traffic and keep your hands
on the handlebars. Otherwise, stop at a suitable location and look at the display
with the motorcycle stationary.
Use the BMW Motorrad Navigator III at your own risk. To reduce the risk of
unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this reference
guide and thoroughly practice safe operation using the simulator mode prior
to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the
BMW Motorrad Navigator III to all available navigation sources, including the
information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, resolve
any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
Your BMW Motorrad Navigator III is equipped with a “Safe Mode” feature to
improve driver safety. This feature is enabled by default. When your vehicle is
moving, Safe Mode disables certain functions of the BMW Motorrad Navigator
III that require significant operator attention and may become a distraction to use
while driving.
