Safety messages
Use with care
Use of TomTom products while driving still means that you need to drive with due care and attention.
Your device is intended to serve as a driving aid and is not a substitute for driving with due care and
attention. Always obey posted road signs and applicable laws. Distracted driving can be extremely
dangerous. Please do not operate this device in any manner that diverts a driver’s attention from the
road in an unsafe manner. TomTom recommends using the hands-free systems where available and
pulling over to a complete stop at a safe location in order to interact with the device.
Notice for oversized/commercial vehicles
If a truck map is not installed on this product then this product is intended for use only on cars and light
commercial vehicles without a trailer, because the product will not provide appropriate routes for
oversized and commercial vehicles, buses, or RVs and recreational vehicles. If you are operating one
of those vehicle types, you must only use a product that has a truck map installed and you must
ensure that your vehicle information (i.e. weight and height) has been entered correctly. Even when
you use an appropriate navigation device you are still advised to pay close attention to the road
ahead, exercise caution, and not follow any navigation advice which may put you or other road users
in danger. TomTom accepts no liability for damages resulting from your failure to observe this notice.

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a
handheld wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with independent research and recommendations by Wireless
Technology Research.
Guidelines for people with pacemakers
You should ALWAYS keep the device more than 6 inches (15 cm) from your pacemaker.
You should not carry the device in a breast pocket.
