Warnings

Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.

When using your laptop in a vehicle, place the laptop 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.

When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on your laptop 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 your laptop while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing your laptop’s screen while driving and use voice prompts when possible. Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged use of your laptop’s controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations.

The navigation software 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.

NOTICE REGARDING WINDSHIELD MOUNTING LEGAL RESTRICTIONS: State law in Minnesota and California prohibits or restricts drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. (See California Vehicle Code 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes Section 169.71) Other Garmin dashboard or friction mount options should be used when driving in those states. Many other states have enacted restrictions against placing “non-transparent material” upon the windshield or placing objects upon the windshield that obstruct the driver’s vision (for example, New Jersey law currently prohibits windshield objects that “unduly interfere” with the driver’s vision to the front or sides). Check your state and local laws and ordinances where you drive before using the suction cup mount on your windshield. IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO USE THE GARMIN UNIT AND

MOUNTING OPTIONS IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE USER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALLAPPLICABLE LAWS AND ORDINANCES. And remember to always mount your Garmin unit in a location that does not obstruct the driver’s view of the road. Garmin does not assume any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of disregarding this notice or as a result of any state or local law or ordinance relating to the use of your Garmin unit.
