There are several types of danger and risk zones. When you are approaching a zone and until you have passed the zone, the zone warning symbol and the distance to the zone are shown, and you hear a warning sound. The background colour turns orange or red if you are driving faster than the speed limit permitted in the zone.
Tip: You can choose to view either the map view, the road view or the overlay mode.
The warning sound depends on your speed:
The warning bar shows the danger zone symbol, and the distance to the zone.
The colour of the warning bar and the speed panel also depend on your speed:
Note: The warning for a zone depends on the safety warnings you have chosen in the Settings menu. For example, if you have selected When speeding, you will not be warned about a zone if you are driving below or at the speed limit.
When you have passed a reported risk zone, you are asked to tell TomTom about the status of the risk zone.
If you pass a zone and do not receive a warning you can report it to TomTom.
