1 Warnings and Safety information
Nextar Navigation System is a navigation system that helps you find
your way to your destination with its built-in GPS receiver. Nextar
Navigation System does not transmit your GPS position; others
cannot track you.
It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so.
If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate
Nextar Navigation System before you start your journey. Plan the
route before your departure and stop if you need to change something
in the route.
Nextar Navigation System has a Safety Mode: if you turn on Safety
Mode, you cannot change anything in Nextar Navigation System while
the vehicle is moving at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) or higher. Unless
only passengers operate Nextar Navigation System, we strongly
encourage you to turn on Safety Mode.
You must obey the traffic signs and follow the road geometry. If you
deviate from the route that Nextar Navigation System recommended,
Nextar Navigation System changes the instructions accordingly.
Never place Nextar ME where it obstructs the driver's view, where it is
in the deployment zone of an airbag or where it might cause injuries in
an accident.
For more information, consult the End User Licence Agreement (page
121).
