WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator
of the GPS V to place and secure the GPS unit so that it will not interfere with the
vehicle operating controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving con-
ditions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. Do not mount
the GPS V 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 passen-
gers causing possible injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle
owner’s manual. Do not mount the GPS V 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 GPS V to the exclusion of safe
driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the GPS V while you are driv-
ing. Failure by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a GPS V 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.
CAUTION: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government
of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
system is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment. Although the GPS V is a precision NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID
can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
