WARNING: See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.
State law in Minnesota and California prohibits and/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 mounting options should be used in those states. Check your state and local laws and ordinances where you drive, as other states may enact similar prohibitions or related restrictions against windshield objects that obstruct the driver’s vision (Michigan and New Jersey law currently prohibits windshield objects that obstruct the driver’s vision). 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 other state or local law or ordinance relating to use of the unit.

Using the FM Transmitter
Before using the FM transmitter in your area, see the FM transmitter legal notice in the owner’s manual. Use of FM transmitters is currently illegal
in certain European countries due to specic radio
frequency restrictions. You must check the local regulations in all European countries in which you intend to use the FM transmitter to ensure its legality.
Trafc on Your Route
When calculating your route, the
nüvi examines the current trafc and
automatically optimizes the route for the shortest time. You might still be routed
through trafc if no alternative roads exist. If a severe trafc delay occurs on your
route while you are navigating, the nüvi automatically recalculates the route.
You can listen to the audio from your nüvi on your vehicle’s speakers. From the Menu page, touch Volume > Audio Output > FM
Transmitter. Select an FM channel for the
FM transmitter, and select the same channel on your nüvi.
The Map page displays or when
there is trafc on your route. The number in
the icon represents the number of minutes
the trafc has added to your route, which
has been automatically calculated into the arrival time shown on the map. The locale you selected at initial startup determines

Caring for Your nüvi
Your nüvi contains sensitive electronic components that can be permanently damaged if exposed to excessive shock or vibration. To minimize the risk of damage to your nüvi, avoid dropping your unit and operating it in high-shock and high-vibration environments.
Cleaning the nüvi
The nüvi is constructed of high-quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the outer casing of the nüvi (not the touch screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, and then wipe it dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components.
Cleaning the Touch Screen
Clean the touch screen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed. Apply the liquid to the cloth, and then gently wipe the touch screen.
