WARNING

It is your responsibility to ensure the mounting location complies with all applicable laws and ordinances, and does not block your view of the road during the safe operation of your vehicle.

NOTICE

Avoid wires, gauges, air bags, air bag covers, HVAC, and other items when drilling pilot holes and attaching the mount to the vehicle. Garmin® is not responsible for any damages or consequences arising from the installation.

NOTICE

Garmin recommends professional installation of the screw-down ball mount.

1 Place the mount on the selected location.

2Using the mount as a template, mark the three screw locations.
