Warning Messages  
Before Use  
For safe usage please observe the following !!!  
Start the car engine before use  
This mobile navigation system can be used when the ignition key  
is turned to ON or ACC. However, to preserve the battery, 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.  
READ THIS MANUAL FIRST  
Read this manual carefully before starting to operate the  
Kenwood Car Navigation System and follow the manual's  
instructions. Kenwood are not liable for problems or accidents  
resulting from failure to observe the instructions in this manual.  
Time before current position is displayed  
OBSERVE LOCAL TRAFFIC SIGNS AND REGULATIONS  
The mobile navigation system will not display the correct current  
position of the vehicle the first time it is used after purchase, or if  
the battery has been removed for a long time. GPS positioning  
signals will soon be received, however, and the correct position  
will be displayed.  
Always observe the local traffic signs and regulations whilst  
driving and check them against the system's instructions.  
Due to frequent changes in local signs and regulations, the traffic  
sign and regulation data on the Map DVD-ROM may be outdated.  
Furthermore the Map DVD-ROM cannot reckon with certain  
conditions such as traffic density at certain times of the day,  
(temporary) road closures due to construction work, weather  
conditions or special events taking place. Therefore always obey  
the local traffic signs and regulations rather than the  
system's instructions. Failure to do so may place you in  
illegal, unsafe or dangerous situations.  
Reading programmes after the battery has been turned off  
The navigation programmes will be deleted if the battery is  
removed for repairs, etc. If this happens, set the map disc  
provided into the mobile navigation system and switch on the  
engine. The mobile navigation system will automatically load the  
programmes and start operating normally again.  
DRIVE SAFELY  
When driving on rough roads  
Before following the system's guidance instructions, such as  
changes in direction, always check first whether it is safe to  
do so given the current traffic conditions. Then follow the  
given instructions, but make sure you do so in a safe manner.  
The mobile navigation system might not operate properly or be  
able to read map data from the disc if there is severe vibration  
caused by driving on rough roads.  
Handling the GPS antenna  
• Do not paint the antenna. This will impair or disable signal  
reception.  
• Remove any object or accumulated snow, etc., from the top of  
the antenna. It will reduce reception strength.  
• Do not pull the cord when removing the antenna or adjusting its  
position. This can cause a short or snap the wires.  
VOLUME LEVEL  
Keep the system's volume at a low enough level to be able to  
hear outside noises whilst driving. If you can no longer hear  
outside noises, you may be unable to react adequately to the  
traffic situation. This may cause accidents.  
FOREIGN OBJECTS  
Operating whilst driving  
The GPS voice navigation system displays the switches disabled  
during driving in fainter colours. These switches stop functioning  
and no message is displayed.  
Keep fingers and foreign objects out of the disc-loading slot, so as  
not to cause accidents. In the event of there being foreign objects  
inside the unit, or smoke or noxious odours coming out, stop  
operation immediately and contact the closest Kenwood dealer.  
STOP OPERATION IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS  
Precautions for handling precision machines  
In event of problems such as a lack of  
sound or video occurring, stop  
operation and push the reset button.  
Should the problems persist, stop  
operation of the system and contact  
the closest Kenwood dealer.  
When upgrading the program, insert  
the version-up disk and press the reset  
button.  
Be careful of the surrounding temperature. Using the mobile  
navigation system at extremely high or low temperatures can lead  
to malfunction or damage.  
Also note that the unit can be damaged by strong vibration or by  
metal objects or water getting inside.  
Condensation  
Condensation can form on the lens inside the main unit just after  
the car heater is switched on in cold weather, for example,  
leading to malfunction. The main unit will start working normally  
again if it is just left alone for about one hour for this  
condensation to go away. If normal operation is not restored after  
several hours, return the main unit to the store where you  
purchased the mobile navigation system.  
NEVER DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER  
Never try to disassemble or alter the navigation equipment. Any  
attempt to do so may cause accidents, fire or electric shock.  
REPLACING FUSES  
When replacing fuses always use the same rated ampere. Failure  
to do so may cause fire.  
Map disc  
Always replace the map disc with another compatible map disc.  
Never insert an incompatible disc. It can damage the main unit.  
SMALL ARTICLES  
Keep small articles (like screws or batteries) out of the reach of  
children. If any such object is accidentally swallowed, consult a  
doctor immediately.  
Precautions when Handling Map Discs  
You should handle discs carefully, as excessive warping or  
scratches on the disc surface or label can lead to reading errors.  
• Store discs away from direct sunlight. The disc might warp and  
become unusable.  
• Lightly wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from the  
centre of the disc towards the outer edge.  
Information in this document is subject to change without notice.  
• If you touch the data surface of a disc (the surface without a  
label printed on it) it might get dirty and lead to a malfunction.  
Always hold a disc either by its centre hole and an edge or by  
two edges.  
• Do not write on, or stick paper or seals onto, the surface of a  
disc.  
• Never clean discs with benzene, thinners, record spray, anti-  
static spray or chemical swabs.  
• Map discs rotate at high speed inside the main unit. Do not use  
a cracked or badly warped disc, therefore, because it might  
damage the main unit.

General Information  
Accuracy of the Vehicle’s Position  
How the Vehicle’s Position is detected  
Area in which GPS signals cannot be received  
Detecting the vehicle’s position through the GPS  
Because the radiowave signals from the GPS satellites travel  
primarily by line of sight, the navigation system might not be able to  
receive the signals in the areas described below.  
(If the GPS mark does not appear on the map screen, it means that  
the GPS radiowave signals are not being properly received.)  
(1) Inside a tunnel  
GPS stands for the "Global Positioning System"; it is a system for  
detecting an object’s position through the use of the satellites of the  
Defense Department of the United States.  
Radiowave signals from three or more satellites are received by the  
navigation system, which utilizes the principle of triangulation to  
detect the position in which the radiowave signals are received.  
When the navigation unit is receiving the GPS radiowave signals, a  
"GPS" mark will appear on the map screen.  
(2) Inside a building  
(3) Under a three-dimensional road such as a high-speed road  
(4) On boulevards lined with trees  
(5) Between buildings  
(6) Under a cliff or in a cave  
• If the GPS antenna or its surroundings are blocked by an obstacle  
(including cargo), it might not be possible for the system to  
receive the GPS radiowave signals.  
• If multiple paths are created due to the reflection from the  
buildings, a large measurement error could occur, causing the  
vehicle’s mark to deviate from its actual position.  
Detecting the vehicle’s position through self-contained  
navigation  
Self-contained navigation is a system that detects the vehicle’s  
position by calculating the vehicle’s driven distance and turning  
angle though the use of various types of sensors that are mounted  
on the vehicle.  
Through the use of self-contained navigation, the vehicle’s position  
can be detected even in an area where the GPS radiowaves signals  
cannot be received.  
Deviation of the vehicle’s position mark  
The vehicle’s position mark could deviate from its actual position  
when the vehicle is being driven under the conditions listed below  
or due to conditions of the GPS satellites.  
If the vehicle travels on a road whose actual shape differs from that  
in the map data, the vehicle’s mark could deviate from the actual  
position. The correct position will eventually appear on the screen  
through the correction function. If the screen does not show the  
correct position for a long time, correct the current position or make  
an automatic correction.  
Making corrections to the detection of the vehicle’s position  
through map matching  
• In map matching, the position information resulting from the  
detection of the vehicle’s position and the locus of the travel of  
the vehicle up to the present are constantly compared to the  
shapes of the roads on the map in order to correct the vehicle’s  
position mark to the most appropriate road.  
• If the vehicle is driven on a road whose actual shape differs from  
its map data, the vehicle’s position mark on the map could deviate  
from its actual position.  
Occasionally, the correction of the vehicle’s position mark to the  
actual road on the map can be observed particularly after the  
vehicle has turned at an intersection or has come out of a parking  
area.  
(1) The vehicle’s mark could appear on a parallel road.  
(2) When the road splits into a narrow Y, the vehicle’s mark could  
appear on the other fork of the Y.  
(3) When the vehicle makes a right or left turn, the vehicle’s mark  
could appear on one street ahead or behind.  
(4) If the vehicle is transported by a means other than the vehicle’s  
own power, such as on a ferry boat, the vehicle’s mark will  
remain in the position it was before the transport until the  
system can calculate the position through the GPS.  
(5) When the vehicle is driven on a steep incline, the vehicle’s mark  
could deviate from its actual position.  
Accuracy of the Route Guidance  
The conditions listed below do not indicate a malfunction.  
(6) If there are continuous gradual curves in the same direction, the  
vehicle’s mark could deviate from its actual position.  
(7) If the vehicle is driven in a zigzag pattern, such as through  
frequent lane changes, the vehicle’s mark could deviate from its  
actual position.  
(8) If the vehicle is placed on a turntable , such as in a parking area,  
and turned with the ignition OFF, the orientation of the vehicle’s  
mark could deviate from its actual orientation. The vehicle’s  
mark could also deviate even after the vehicle has exited the  
parking area.  
(1) The guidance might prompt the driver to drive straight even  
though the vehicle is being driven on a straight road.  
(2) The directional guidance could display multiple place names.  
(3) If the vehicle makes a turn at an intersection before the guided  
route, the wrong type of voice guidance could be output.  
(4) The guidance might not be output while the vehicle is making a  
turn at an intersection.  
(5) The system might not be able to search for the proper route.  
(6) If there is no road to the destination or if there is only a narrow  
road, the route might only indicate up to an area that is short of  
the destination.  
(7) The repeat search time could be long while the vehicle is being  
driven at high speeds.  
(8) While the system is searching again for the route, the route  
indication might not appear in time for the next right or left turn.  
(9) The route might not change even if a search is made again.  
(10) The system might guide the driver to make a U-turn.  
(11) The system might guide the driver on a road that cannot  
actually be travelled (such as on a road in which entry is  
prohibited).  
(12) The system might not output guidance even if the vehicle is  
driven in reverse on the guided route.  
(13) The system might not use a local ferry boat even if it the ferry  
priority is selected.  
(9) The vehicle’s mark could deviate from its actual position if the  
vehicle is driven on a snow-covered road or on a mountainous  
road with tire chains or snow tires.  
• After driving the vehicle under those conditions, perform the  
same operation given in the section on "After changing tires".  
(10) The vehicle’s mark could deviate from its actual position after  
the tires have been replaced.  
• After replacing the tires, refer to the section on "After  
changing tires".  
(14) If the intersection you’re being guided to is near the end of the  
route search, the system might not be able to provide guidance.  
(15) The route might not go on a toll road even the toll-road priority  
is selected.  
Similarly, a route that uses a toll road could appear on the  
screen even if the toll-road priority is not selected.  
(The driver may or may not be able to select the "toll-road  
priority" if both toll and free roads are available.)

The screen shown might not be the Current  
Position screen.  
See page 7 of this manual to display the Current Position  
screen.  
The vehicle marker does not appear.  
The screen shown might not be the Current  
Position screen.  
See page 7 of this manual to display the Current Position  
screen.  
The GPS marker is not displayed.  
The GPS antenna or your vehicle might be in a  
position where GPS signals cannot be received.  
Try moving the GPS antenna or your vehicle to a position  
where there are no obstacles around.  
There is no voice guidance.  
• Route guidance might be suspended.  
• The guidance volume might be turned down low.  
• The route guidance is off, see Route Options (page 35).  
• See <Volume Adjustment> (page 36).  
Small spots or bright flashes appear in the screen displayed.  
This is probably due to the nature of the LCD  
display.  
There is nothing wrong with the display and no need for  
concern.  
The map disc cannot be ejected.  
The disc might be incompatible or might have been  
inserted incorrectly.  
Restart the engine and see page 5 of this manual.
