Safety Warnings and Cautions—Read This First!
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the
owner/operator of a vehicle with the eTrex Vista C installed to place and
secure the device so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating
controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving condi-
tions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.
Do not mount the unit over airbag panels or in the fi eld 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 unit in a place where the driver or passengers are
likely to impact it in a 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 unit to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is
unsafe to operate the controls of the unit while you are driving. Failure
by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a eTrex Vista C installed to pay
full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the
vehicle is in motion could result in an accident with property damage and
personal injury.
