Description

France.
You are warned at the start and end of the danger
zone.
Risk zone - this type of warning is only given in
France.
You are warned at the start and end of the risk
zone.
You can change the way you are warned about danger and risk zones.
Changing the way you are warned
To change the way you are warned about danger zones, select Sounds & Warnings in the Settings
menu.
You can then set how you want to be warned for the different types of zones. You can choose to be
warned, warned only if you are speeding, or never warned.
To switch off all warnings, switch off Danger zones & hazards.
Reporting a risk zone
If you pass a new temporary risk zone that you were not warned about, you can report it instantly.
If a new temporary risk zone is reported directly before or after an existing risk or danger zone,
then the new zone is added to the existing zone. The risk zone is saved on your device automatically
and also sent to other users. A reported risk zone stays on your device for three hours.
If enough Danger Zones users report a new risk zone, that zone may become a danger zone and be
available for all subscribers.
You can report a risk zone in the following ways:
Using the speed panel to report a risk zone
1. Select the risk zone symbol on the speed panel in the guidance view.
You see a message thanking you for reporting the zone.
Note: To report a risk zone, you must be connected to TomTom services and logged in to your
TomTom account.
