Mounting and Powering the Device in Your Vehicle

WARNING

This product contains a lithium-ion battery. To prevent the possibility of personal injury or product damage caused by battery exposure to extreme heat, store the device out of direct sunlight.

Before you use your device on battery power, you should charge it.

Plug the vehicle power cable À into the USB port on the

device.

power key

USB power and data port

Camera memory card slot

Microphone for voice command or hands-free calling

Map and data memory card slot

Installing the dash camera memory card

Before the device can record video from the integrated dash camera, you must install a camera memory card. The camera requires a microSD® memory card from 4 to 64 GB with a speed rating of Class 10 or higher. You can use the included memory card, or you can purchase a compatible memory card from an electronics supplier.

NOTE: a memory card is included so your device is ready to use out of the box. All memory cards have a limited life and must be replaced periodically. Your device alerts you when the memory card has exceeded its useful life and needs to be replaced. You can follow the troubleshooting tips to help extend the useful life of the memory card (My memory card has degraded and needs

to be replaced, page 25).

Insert a memory card À into the camera memory card slot Á.

NOTE: if you install the memory card into the incorrect slot,

the camera cannot record video.

Press the mount Á onto the suction cup Â until it snaps into

place. The mount is reversible. If you are using the included

windscreen suction cup, you should install the mount with the socket towards the top of the device. If you are using an optional dash mount accessory, you should install the mount with the socket towards the bottom of the device. This ensures the dash cam is not obstructed by the mount.

Press the suction cup to the windscreen, and flip the lever

back toward the windscreen. Fit the tab on the mount into the slot on the back of the

device. Press the device onto the mount until it clicks.

Plug the other end of the vehicle power cable into a power

outlet in your vehicle.

TIP: you can charge your device faster by putting it in power saving mode while charging the battery.

• To turn off the device completely, hold the power key until a prompt appears on the screen, and select Off.

Getting started 1

Incident Detection and Notifications

Your Garmin DriveAssist device uses built-in sensors to detect a possible vehicle incident.

• The device automatically saves dash cam video footage before, during and after the detected incident.

• If you set up an incident contact, the device can send an automated text message to that contact when it detects an incident and your vehicle stops moving. This can help alert the contact to your situation if you are not able to call or send a message. This feature requires a connection to Smartphone Link and an active mobile data connection to send a message.

• If you have not set up an incident contact, the device automatically displays the nearest address or geographic coordinates when it detects an incident. This feature is helpful if you need to tell emergency personnel your location. You can select More to view the Where Am I? page.

Select OK.

Review the information, and select Save.

Cancelling an Incident Notification

When the device detects an incident, a message and a voice prompt inform you that a notification will be sent to your incident contact. A 60-second countdown timer starts when the incident is detected, and the device sends the notification automatically when the timer expires. If you do not want to send the notification, you can cancel it.

Before the timer expires, select Cancel.

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 judgement 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.
