Important Safety and Product Information

Warnings

Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations could result in an accident
or collision resulting in death or serious injury.

When installing your mobile device in a vehicle,

•
place the unit securely so it does not obstruct
the driver’s view of the road or interfere with
vehicle operating controls, such as the steering
wheel, foot pedals, or transmission levers. Do
not place in front of or above any airbag. (See
diagram.)

When navigating, carefully compare information

•
displayed on your mobile device to all available
navigation sources, including information from
street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For
safety, always resolve any discrepancies or
questions before continuing navigation and defer
to posted road signs.

Do not mount where driver’s

eld of vision is blocked.

Do not mount in front of an airbag eld of

deployment.

Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do

•

not become distracted by your mobile device
while driving, and always be fully aware of
all driving conditions. Minimize the amount

of time spent viewing your mobile device’s
screen while driving and use voice prompts
when possible. Do not input destinations, change
settings, or access any functions requiring
prolonged use of your mobile device’s controls
while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal
manner before attempting such operations.

The navigation software is designed to provide

•
route suggestions. It is not designed to replace
the need for driver attentiveness regarding road
closures or road conditions, trafc congestion,
weather conditions, or other factors that may
affect safety while driving.

Do not place unsecured on the
vehicle dashboard.

NOTICE REGARDING WINDSHIELD
MOUNTING LEGAL RESTRICTIONS:

State law in Minnesota and California prohibits
or restricts drivers from using suction mounts on
their windshields while operating motor vehicles.
(See California Vehicle Code 26708(a); Minnesota
Statutes Section 169.71) Other Garmin dashboard
or friction mount options should be used when
driving in those states. Many other states have
enacted restrictions against placing “non-transparent
material” upon the windshield or placing objects
upon the windshield that obstruct the driver’s vision
(for example, New Jersey law currently prohibits
windshield objects that “unduly interfere” with the
driver’s vision to the front or sides). Check your state
and local laws and ordinances where you drive before
using the suction cup mount on your windshield.

IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO
USE THE GARMIN UNIT AND MOUNTING
OPTIONS IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE
USER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE LAWS AND ORDINANCES. And

remember to always mount your Garmin unit in a
location that does not obstruct the driver’s view of the
road. Garmin does not assume any responsibility for

any nes, penalties, or damages that may be incurred

as a result of disregarding this notice or as a result of
any state or local law or ordinance relating to the use
of your Garmin unit.

Important Information

MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals
of Garmin is to provide customers with the most
complete and accurate cartography that is available

to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of
governmental and private data sources, which we
identify in product literature and copyright messages
displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources
contain some inaccurate or incomplete data. In some
countries, complete and accurate map information is
either not available or is prohibitively expensive.

GARMIN’S SOFTWARE AND THE THIRD­PARTY MAP DATA). SOME STATES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Avertissements

Si vous ne prenez pas de précautions pour éviter les
situations potentiellement dangereuses qui suivent,
celles-ci sont susceptibles de causer un accident ou
une collision pouvant entraîner des blessures graves
ou être une cause de décès.

Lors de l’installation de votre appareil de

•
communication mobile dans un véhicule, placez-le
avec soin de telle sorte qu’il n’obstrue pas le champ
de vision du conducteur ou qu’il ne gêne pas les
commandes du véhicule telles que le volant, les
pédales ou les leviers de transmission. Ne placez
pas l’appareil devant ou au-dessus d’un airbag (voir
le schéma).

Lorsque vous parcourez un itinéraire, comparez

•

soigneusement les informations afchées sur

votre appareil de communication mobile à
toutes les sources de navigation existantes :
panneaux de signalisation, signaux visuels et
cartes. Pour votre sécurité, cherchez à résoudre
tout dysfonctionnement ou problème avant de
poursuivre la navigation et respectez les panneaux
de signalisation.

L’appareil ne doit pas bloquer

le champ de vision du conducteur.

Ne le montez pas dans la zone de

déploiement d’un airbag.

Conduisez toujours de la manière la plus sûre

•

possible. Ne vous laissez pas distraire par votre

appareil de communication mobile pendant la
conduite et soyez toujours pleinement conscient
des conditions de circulation. Réduisez au

maximum le temps passé à regarder l’écran de
votre appareil pendant la conduite et utilisez les
indications vocales le cas échéant. Ne tentez

pas d’entrer des destinations, de modier des

paramètres ou d’accéder à des fonctions demandant
une utilisation prolongée des commandes de
votre appareil pendant la conduite. Garez-vous
à un endroit autorisé n’entravant pas la sécurité
des autres automobilistes avant d’effectuer toute
opération de ce type.

Le logiciel de navigation est conçu pour vous proposer des

•
suggestions d’itinéraires. Il ne dispense pas les conducteurs
de faire preuve de vigilance pour gérer les facteurs qui
peuvent compromettre leur sécurité au volant, notamment
en cas de fermeture ou de mauvais état des routes,
d’embouteillages ou encore de mauvaises conditions
météorologiques.

Ne posez pas le support sur le
tableau de bord du véhicule sans
le xer
