view of the road (see diagram).

Do not mount in front of an airbag eld 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.

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 screen of the
