1 Warnings and safety information
Mio Map is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your selected
destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of a built-in GPS
device. The position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be
transmitted anywhere, so others will not be able to track you by the help of this
program.
If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate Mio Map before
beginning your journey. The driver’s attention should be on the road. Plan your route
before departure and pull over if you need to change route parameters. Mio Map has
a built-in (optional) Safety Mode that will prevent you from using the screen functions
if your car is in motion. Unless a passenger will be the only one to operate Mio Map,
we strongly encourage you to turn on the Safety Mode.
It is also important that you look at the display only if it is absolutely safe to do so.
You should always observe traffic signs and road geometry before you obey any
instruction from Mio Map. If you need to deviate from the recommended direction,
Mio Map will suggest a modified route according to the new situation.
Never place your Mio DigiWalker where it can obstruct the view of the driver, is within
the deployment zone of airbags, or where it can cause injuries in case of an accident.
