Warnings
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations could result in an accident or collision
resulting in death or serious injury.
• When installing the unit 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.)
Do not mount
where driver’s
field of vision
is blocked.
Do not place
unsecured on
the vehicle
dashboard.
Do not mount in front of an
airbag field of deployment.
• When navigating, carefully compare information
displayed on the unit 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.
• Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Do not
become distracted by the unit while driving, and
always be fully aware of all driving conditions.
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.
Battery Warnings
If these guidelines are not followed, the internal
lithium-ion battery may experience a shortened life
span or may present a risk of damage to the GPS unit,
fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury.
• Contact your local waste disposal department to
properly dispose of the unit/battery.
• Do not leave the unit exposed to a heat source or in
a high temperature location, such as in the sun in an
unattended vehicle on a hot day. To prevent damage,
remove the unit from the vehicle or store it out of
direct sunlight, such as in the glove box.
• Do not incinerate.
