The warning message is complying with US regulations occupational safety authority. It is embedded in the firmware routine. You cannot bypass this message.
Displaying the WARNING message is in the firmware. You can not bypass a WARNING message from being displayed, but the text in the message can be changed. The text in the message is in the firmware, but ONLY if you are using American English text. You can use the below download link to change the text if you are using American English text by modifying the GUPDATE.GCD and flash it to your nuvi. For all other text languages, the text displayed is not in the firmware, and can be changed/edited by using Notepad to change the WARNING text displayed in the .gtt file.
This is the legal warning text displayed at power-up. It disappears after 15 seconds or after you pushed the AGREE button. This text will only appear if your language is set to American English (default if you are using US firmware). For all other languages, edit instead the file "your language".gtt in the Garmin/Text directory and search for <tag>TXT_Warning_body_STR_M</tag>
Here is what I changed mine to:
The serial number of this Garmin nüvi 255W has been registered at Garmin.com to the rightful owner. If you are not the registered owner, you are in the POSSESSION OF STOLEN PROPERTY!!! Please arrange for the return of this GPS receiver by contacting the owner at:

If you are using American English, use this and select the "Legal Warning Editor" tab:
