Safety Precautions and 
Important Information
Read this information carefully before starting to 
operate the Kenwood Car Navigation System and 
follow the instructions in this manual. Neither 
Kenwood nor Garmin shall be liable for problems 
or accidents resulting from failure to observe the 
instructions in this manual.
#
WARNING
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous 
situations could result in an accident or collision 
resulting in death or serious injury.
When navigating, carefully compare information 
displayed on the navigation system to all available 
navigation sources, including information from 
street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, 
always resolve any discrepancies or questions before 
continuing navigation.
Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Do not become distracted by the navigation system 
while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving 
conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent 
viewing the screen of the navigation system while 
driving, and use voice prompts when possible.
Do not enter destinations, change settings, or 
access any functions requiring prolonged use of the 
navigation system controls while driving. Stop your 
vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting 
such operations.
Keep the system volume at a low enough level to be 
able to hear outside noises while driving. If you can 
no longer hear outside noises, you may be unable 
to react adequately to the traffic situation. This may 
cause accidents.
The navigation system will not display the correct 
current position of the vehicle the first time it is 
used after purchase, or if the vehicle battery is 
disconnected. GPS satellite signals will soon be 
received, however, and the correct position will be 
displayed.
Be careful of the ambient temperature. Using the 
navigation system at extreme temperatures can lead 
to malfunction or damage. Also note that the unit can 
be damaged by strong vibration, by metal objects, or 
by water getting inside the unit.
#
CAUTION
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous 
situations may result in injury or property damage.
The navigation system is designed to provide you 
with route suggestions. It does not reflect road 
closures or road conditions, weather conditions, or 
other factors that may affect safety or timing while 
driving.
Use the navigation system only as a navigational aid. 
Do not attempt to use the navigation system for any 
purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, 
distance, location, or topography.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated 
by the United States government, which is solely 
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The 
government system is subject to changes that 
could affect the accuracy and performance of all 
GPS equipment, including the navigation system. 
Although the navigation system is a precision 
navigation device, any navigation device can be 
misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become 
unsafe.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
 
Ñ Vehicle Battery Preservation
This navigation system can be used when the 
ignition key is turned to ON or ACC. To preserve 
the battery, however, it should be used with the 
engine running whenever possible. Using the 
navigation system for a long time with the engine 
switched off can cause the battery to run down.
 
Ñ Map Data Information
One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers 
with the most complete and accurate cartography 
that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use 
a combination of governmental and private data 
sources, which we identify in product literature and 
copyright messages displayed to the consumer. 
Virtually all data sources contain some inaccurate 
or incomplete data. In some countries, complete 
and accurate map information is either not 
available or is prohibitively expensive.
