About the Map SD Card When driving using guidance from the navigation system, be sure to follow the actual road signs and traffic regulations. If road signs and traffic regulations are changed, the data on the map SD card may be out of date. Also, the data on the map SD card does not take into account factors such as weather, time zones, and occurrences such as differences in congestion situations and temporary road closures due to construction work. Always give precedence to road signs and traffic rules over instructions from the navigation system.

Not following the road signs and traffic rules could lead to injury or traffic violations.
