Introduction
Your StreetPilot is equipped with a ‘Safe Mode’
feature to improve driver safety. By default, this fea-
ture is enabled, but it can be turned off to allow a
passenger to operate the unit. When your vehicle is
moving, Safe Mode disables certain StreetPilot func-
tions which require significant operator attention
and may become a distraction to use while driving.
