Before you begin to operate the navigation system, read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with it and to understand how the system works.

Any route suggestions made by this navigation system may never override local traffic regulations, your own judgement, and/or knowledge of safe driving practices.

Disregard route suggestions made by the navigation system if such suggestions would; cause you to perform a hazardous or illegal maneuver, place you in a hazardous situation, or route you into an area you consider unsafe.

Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe driving. See "Defensive Driving" in the Index of your vehicle's owner manual for more information. Get familiar with your vehicle's navigation system so you can use it with less effort and take full advantage of its features. Your navigation system includes not only navigation, but also audio functions. While your vehicle is parked:

Entering a destination or alphanumeric text requires many steps, so you can only perform these operations when the vehicle is in PARK (P). You will notice that touch-sensitive screen buttons leading to the alphanumeric keyboard are dimmed out while driving.

Other functions may also be locked out while driving and they too will appear grayed out on the screen -- but all functions are available when parked. Some functions can be performed while driving, as long as you can do so without diverting too much of your attention from your driving.

Caution: This system provides you with a far greater access to audio stations and song listings. Giving extended attention to entertainment tasks while driving can cause a crash and you or others can be injured or killed. Always keep your eyes on the road and your mind on the drive -- avoid engaging in extended searching while driving.

Caution: Looking at the moving map on the navigation screen frequently or for too long while driving can cause a crash and you or others can be injured or killed.

The system uses limited information, you must always evaluate whether following the system's directions is safe and legal for the current conditions.
