Forward Collision Warning System

 WARNING

The forward collision warning system (FCWS) feature is for 

information only and does not replace your responsibility to 

observe all road and driving conditions, abide by all traffic 

regulations, and use safe driving judgment at all times. The 

FCWS relies on the camera to provide a warning of upcoming 

vehicles and, as a result, may have limited functionality in low 

visibility conditions. For more information, go to 

garmin.com

/warnings

.

NOTE: 

This feature is not available in all areas or for all product 

models.
The FCWS feature alerts you when the device detects that you 

are not maintaining a safe distance between your vehicle and 

the vehicle in front of you. The device determines your vehicle 

speed using GPS, and it calculates an estimated safe following 

distance based on your speed. The FCWS activates 

automatically when your vehicle speed exceeds 48 km/hr 

(30 mph).
