Introduction
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole respon-
sibility of the owner/operator of the eTrex Vista to secure
the GPS 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 eTrex Vista 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 pos-
sible injury. Refer to air bag safety precautions contained
in the vehicle owner’s manual. Do not mount the eTrex
Vista 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 dis-
tracted by the eTrex Vista to the exclusion of safe driving
practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the eTrex
Vista while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a
vehicle equipped with an eTrex Vista to pay full attention
to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the
vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or colli-
sion with property damage and personal injury.
