The first time you turn on your navigation device, it may take several minutes to acquire satellite signals.

Turn on the device.

Verify appears in the status bar, and enable location

services if it does not. If necessary, go to an open area with a clear view of the sky,

away from tall buildings and trees. Acquiring Satellites appears at the top of the navigation map

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 (Aligning the Camera, page 3).

• 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 (Aligning

the Camera, page 3).

Driver Awareness Features and Alerts 5

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. 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.

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).
