Navigation
The navigation, lane guidance and traffic features are intended to assist you when traveling. Always use personal judgment and observation of the actual road conditions while riding. In some circumstances, information provided in the navigation database may be incomplete, incorrect or outdated.

Before following any instruction from the system, check whether the instruction can be done safely and legally.
If necessary, safely park the vehicle if there is difficulty following the route guidance or if there is a need to program a new route. In some circumstances, the system could temporarily provide an inaccurate position of the vehicle or show errors in distance between objects.
When importing routes from other devices or websites, understand that there may be limitations to the accuracy or reliability of the imported data. There may also be compatibility limitations when importing data files from another device or website.
