NOTICE

Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of or the 

consequences of using a red light or speed camera database.

NOTE: 

This feature is not available for all regions or product 

models.
Information about red light and speed camera locations is 

available in some areas for some product models. The device 

alerts you when you approach a reported speed or red light 

camera.

• To maintain an updated database of red light and speed 

camera locations, you must purchase a subscription to 

download and store safety camera data on your device. Go 

to 

garmin.com/speedcameras

 to check availability and 

compatibility, or to purchase a subscription or one-time 

update. You can purchase a new region or extend an existing 

subscription at any time.

• In some regions, some product bundles include pre-loaded 

red light and speed camera data with lifetime updates.

• You can use the Garmin Express

 software (

garmin.com

/express

) to update the camera database stored on your 

device. You should update your device frequently to receive 

the most up-to-date camera information.

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).
When the device detects that you are too close to the vehicle 

ahead of you, the device plays an audible alert, and a warning 

appears on the screen.

Forward Collision Warning System 

Performance Tips

Several factors affect the performance of the forward collision 

warning system (FCWS). Some conditions may prevent the 

FCWS feature from detecting a vehicle ahead of you.
• The FCWS feature activates only when your vehicle speed 

exceeds 50 km/h (30 mph).

• The FCWS feature may not detect a vehicle ahead of you 

when the camera's view of the vehicle is obscured by rain, 

fog, snow, sun or headlight glare, or darkness.

• The FCWS feature may not function properly if the camera is 

incorrectly aligned (

Setting the Camera Placement

, page 2

).

• The FCWS feature may not detect vehicles greater than 40 m 

(130 ft.) away or closer than 5 m (16 ft.).

• The FCWS feature may not function properly if the camera 

placement settings do not correctly indicate your vehicle 

height or the placement of your device in the vehicle (

Setting 

the Camera Placement

, page 2

).

Lane Departure Warning System

 WARNING

The lane departure warning system (LDWS) 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 

LDWS relies on the camera to provide warnings for lane 

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

visibility conditions. For more information, go to 

garmin.com

/warnings

.

The LDWS feature alerts you when the device detects you may 

be crossing a lane boundary unintentionally. For example, the 

device alerts you if you cross some solid painted lane 

boundaries or cross into an oncoming traffic lane. The LDWS 

feature provides alerts only when your vehicle speed exceeds 

64 km/h (40 mph). The alert appears on the left or right side of 

the screen to indicate which lane boundary you crossed.

NOTE: 

For the best LDWS performance, you should set the 

Camera Placement option to indicate the location of your device 

in the vehicle.

Lane Departure Warning Performance Tips

Several factors affect the performance of the lane departure 

warning system (LDWS). Some conditions may prevent the 

LDWS feature from detecting lane departures.
• The LDWS feature provides alerts only when your vehicle 

speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph).
