Special Note Regarding Driving in California, Minnesota and Other States California Vehicle Code Section 26708 which applies to those driving within the State of California restricts the mounting of a navigation device on the windshield to a seven-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield farthest removed from the driver or in a five-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, if the system is used only for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle is being operated. Drivers in California should not mount the device on their side or rear windows. Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2 restricts any person driving within the State of Minnesota from driving with a device suspended between the driver and the windshield. Many other states have enacted laws which restrict the placement of any object or material on the windshield, side or rear window that obstructs a driver's clear view of the road. It is incumbent upon the driver to be aware of all applicable laws and to place the device in such a manner that will not interfere with his/her driving. TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for and hereby disclaims all liability for any fines, penalties or damage incurred by a driver for violations of the law. While driving in any state with windshield mounting restrictions, TomTom recommends using the supplied Adhesive Mounting Disk or purchasing an alternative mounting system (e.g. dashboard or air vents).
