While driving, listen to the voice instructions as much as

is safe. However, do not totally rely on voice guidance. Use
it just for reference. If the system cannot determine the
current position correctly, there is a possibility of incorrect,
late, or non-voice guidance.
The data in the system may occasionally be incomplete.
Road conditions, including driving restrictions (no left turns,
street closures, etc.) frequently change. Therefore, before
following any instructions from the system, look to see
whether the instruction can be done safely and legally.
This system cannot warn about such things as the safety of
an area, condition of streets, and availability of emergency
services. If unsure about the safety of an area, do not drive
into it. Under no circumstances is this system a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgement.
Use this system only in locations where it is legal to do so.
Some states/provinces may have laws prohibiting the use of
video and navigation screens next to the driver.

REAR VIEW CAMERA WARNING

A rear view camera is attached to the rear gate. O Since the rear view camera uses a wide-angle lens, the image
on the monitor is different from the actual view in terms of
distance.
O Since the range of the image on the monitor is limited, you
should always check the rear view and the surrounding area
with your eyes and mirrors, and move backward at a slow
speed. Moving backward only by checking the rear view
image from the camera could cause an accident.
O Do not disassemble or modify the camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell a strange odor, stop using the
rear view camera immediately. Contact your SUBARU dealer
