Safety Warnings and Cautions—Read This First!
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of the
StreetPilot III to place and secure the GPS unit so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operat-
ing 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 III 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 StreetPilot III 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 III to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe
to operate the controls of the StreetPilot III while you are driving. Failure by the driver of a vehicle
equipped with a StreetPilot III 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.

Your StreetPilot III is equipped with a ‘Safe Mode’
feature to improve driver safety. By default, this
feature is enabled, but can be turned off to allow a
passenger to operate the unit. When your vehicle is
moving, Safe Mode disables certain StreetPilot III
functions which require signifi cant operator attention
and may become a distraction to use while driving. See
page 47 for details.
For instructions on vehicle installation, see
Appendix A (pages 51-54).
