WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a 
vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator 
of the eTrex to secure the GPS unit so that it will not cause 
damage or personal injury in the event of an accident. 
Do not mount the eTrex over airbag panels or in a place 
where the driver or passengers are likely to have an 
impact with it in an accident or collision. 
WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a 
vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the operator of the 
vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain 
full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and 
never become distracted by the eTrex to the exclusion 
of safe operating practices.  It is unsafe to operate the 
eTrex while you are driving.  Failure by the operator of 
a vehicle equipped with an eTrex to pay full attention 
to operating the vehicle and road conditions while the 
vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or 
collision with property damage and personal injury.
