Introduction

Cautions and Warnings

CAUTION: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United

States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes
that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the StreetPilot is a
precision 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

to place and secure the GPS unit so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating controls and
safety devices, 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 over airbag panels or in the field of airbag
deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects in their path towards the vehicle
driver or passengers causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle
owner’s manual. Do not mount the StreetPilot 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: When used in vehicles, it is 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 to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate
the controls of the StreetPilot while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a
StreetPilot 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.

NOTE: The StreetPilot Bean Bag Dash Mount

Accessory is designed to stabilize the unit during normal
operation of a vehicle. It will not, however, secure the unit
to the vehicle dash in the event of emergency braking or
sharp turns. If you desire the added safety of a secure
mount, use the StreetPilot Dash Mount Bracket and
permanent adhesive supplied with the bracket.
