transmission levers. Do not place in front of or above
any airbag. (See diagram.)

Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the
unit’s screen while driving and use voice prompts
when possible. Do not input destinations, change
settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged
use of the unit’s controls while driving. Pull over
in a safe and legal manner before attempting such
operations.
The unit is designed to provide route suggestions.
It is not designed to replace the need for driver
attentiveness regarding road closures or road
conditions, traffic congestion, weather conditions, or
other factors that may affect safety while driving.
Use the electronic chart in the unit only to facilitate,
not to replace, the use of authorized government
charts. Official government charts and notices to
mariners contain all information needed to navigate
safely.
