CAUTIONS AND NOTES for correct workshop practices with regard to safety and/or property damage.
GENERAL INFORMATI O N
This section has been reproduced from the original CARiN 520 User Manual. The CARiN 522 also utilises this
manual, as there are only minor physical differences between the two systems.
The symbols and layout of this section are in keeping with the original paper version of the manual. The paper
version of the manual should have been supplied upon delivery of the SATNAV system.
References to the RDS Traffic Message Channel (TMC) have been omitted due to the system not operational in
this region.
