2023 Land Rover RANGE ROVER VELAR NAVIGATION
NAVIGATION SAFETY
Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using the navigation system.
Failure to use the navigation system safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
The navigation system is not a substitute for driving safely with due care and attention. Road Traffic Regulations must always be observed. Drivers should not assume that a feature will correct errors in judgement when driving.
The driver is responsible for staying alert, driving safely, and for being in control of the vehicle at all times, relative to the prevailing conditions. The driver is responsible for determining the safety of the route suggested by the navigation system. The navigation system may not function properly in all circumstances.
Make sure the relevant safety warnings and cautions have been read and understood before operating the touchscreen. See TOUCHSCREEN SAFETY.
During any map update, the vehicle’s electrical system must not be switched off, before the update is complete. Doing so cancels the map update and potentially leaves the system without any available map data. See MAP UPDATES.
The speed camera notifications are not available in certain markets.
