Introduction
Your StreetPilot is equipped with a ‘ Safe Mode’ feature to
improve driver safety. By default, this feature is enabled,
but can be turned off to allow a passenger to operate
the unit.
When your vehicle is moving, Safe Mode
disables certain StreetPilot functions
which require
signifi cant operator attention and may become a distrac-
tion to use while driving. See page 36 for details.
For instructions on vehicle installation, see
Appendix A (pages 44).

WARNING:
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States government, which
is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect
the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin StreetPilot 2610/2650 is a preci-
sion electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,
become unsafe.
WARNING:
For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the StreetPilot
2610/2650 to secure the unit so that it will not interfere with the vehicle’s operating controls, obstruct
the driver’s view of driving conditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do
not mount the StreetPilot 2610/2650 over air bag panels or in the fi eld of air bag deployment. Air bags
expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path toward the driver or passengers causing
possible injury. Refer to air bag safety precautions contained in the vehicle’s owner manual. Do not mount
the StreetPilot 2610/2650 in a place where the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an accident
or collision. The mounting hardware provided by Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the
consequences thereof.
WARNING:
For use in vehicles, it the sole responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to operate the
vehicle in a safe manner, maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and not become
distracted by the StreetPilot 2610/2650 to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate
the controls of the StreetPilot 2610/2650 while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped
with a StreetPilot 2610/2650 to pay full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the
vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or collision with property damage and personal injury.
