Safety Mode (On/Off)
The iWAY has a Safety Mode to prevent vehicle drivers from operating
the GPS while the vehicle is in motion. The unit will navigate and play
music while moving, but the keyboard and touch-screen buttons are
temporarily disabled whenever Safety Mode is on. The keyboard and
screen buttons become responsive when the vehicle stops.
However, if a passenger is available to act as navigator, Safety Mode
can be turned off. This switches the unit to Passenger Mode and allows
the passenger to operate the unit while the vehicle is moving.
To disable Safety Mode and switch to Passenger Mode, make sure the
vehicle is not moving and, from the Main Menu, choose
SAFETY MODE to
toggle whether the option is on or off. The button itself will show its
current state.
A dialog like the one in the following image appears. Choose
YES to dis-
able Safety Mode and return to the Main Menu.
Safety Mode disable menu.
WARNING:
When a GPS unit is used in a vehicle, the vehicle opera-
tor is solely responsible for operating the vehicle in a
safe manner. Vehicle operators must maintain full sur-
veillance of all pertinent driving conditions at all times.
An accident or collision resulting in damage to property,
personal injury or death could occur if the operator of a
GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel
conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in
motion.
Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter information
into your GPS unit while driving.
