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 (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).

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.

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).
• The LDWS feature may not function properly if the camera is
incorrectly aligned.
• The LDWS 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).
• The LDWS feature requires a clear, continuous view of the
lane divider lines.
◦ Lane departures may not be detected when divider lines
are obscured by rain, fog, snow, extreme shadows, sun or
headlight glare, road construction, or any other visual
obstruction.
◦ Lane departures may not be detected if lane divider lines
are misaligned, missing, or heavily worn.
• The LDWS feature may not detect lane departures on
extremely wide, narrow, or winding roads.

Troubleshooting
The suction cup will not stay on my
windshield
Clean the suction cup and windshield with rubbing alcohol.
1
Dry with a clean, dry cloth.
2
Mount the suction cup (Mounting and Powering the Garmin
3
Device in Your Vehicle, page 1).
The mount does not hold my device in place
while I drive
For the best results, you should keep the vehicle mount clean
and position the device close to the suction cup.
If the device shifts position while you are driving, you should
complete these actions.
• Remove the powered mount from the suction cup arm, and
wipe the ball and socket with a cloth.
Dust and other debris may reduce the friction in the ball and
socket joint and allow the joint to shift while you are driving.
• Rotate the hinged arm toward the suction cup as far as your
windshield angle allows.
Positioning the device closer to the windshield reduces the
effect of jarring and vibration from the road.
My device is not acquiring satellite signals
• Verify the location services feature is enabled.
• Take your device out of parking garages and away from tall
buildings and trees.
• Remain stationary for several minutes.
The device does not charge in my vehicle
• Check the fuse in the vehicle power cable (Changing the
Fuse in the Vehicle Power Cable, page 25).
• Verify the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the
power outlet.
• Verify the interior temperature of the vehicle is within the
charging temperature range indicated in the specifications.
• In the vehicle fuse box, verify the fuse for the vehicle power
outlet is not broken.
My battery does not stay charged for very
long
• Decrease the screen brightness (Display Settings, page 21).
• Shorten the display timeout (Display Settings, page 21).
• Decrease the volume (Garmin® Overview, page 1).
• Turn off the wi-fi radio when it is not in use (Connecting to a
Wireless Network, page 21).
• Put the device in power saving mode when not in use
(Turning the Device On or Off, page 1).
• Keep your device away from extreme temperatures.
• Do not leave your device in direct sunlight.
My video recordings are blurry
• Clean the camera lens (Cleaning the Camera Lens,
page 23).
• Clean the windshield in front of the camera.
• Verify the area of the windshield in front of the camera is
cleared by the windshield wipers, and move the device, if
necessary.
My memory card has degraded and needs to
be replaced
All microSD memory cards wear out after they are overwritten a
large number of times. Periodically formatting the card can
extend the useful life and improve performance. Because the
dash camera records continuously, you may need to replace the
memory card periodically (Replacing the Dash Cam Memory
Card, page 4). Your device detects memory card errors
automatically and alerts you when it is time to format or replace
your memory card.
You can take these actions to help extend the useful life of the
memory card.
• Format the memory card at least one time every six months
(Formatting the Dash Cam Memory Card, page 4).
• If the device displays a memory card error alert, first try
formatting the memory card (Formatting the Dash Cam
Memory Card, page 4) and then, if necessary, replace the
memory card (Replacing the Dash Cam Memory Card,
page 4).
• Turn off the device when your vehicle is not in use.
If your device is not connected to an ignition-switched vehicle
power outlet, you should turn off the device when your
vehicle is not in use to prevent the dash camera from
recording unneeded footage.
• Transfer saved video footage to a computer.
The memory card lasts longer when more free space is
available on the card.
26Troubleshooting
Page 31
• Use a memory card with a higher storage capacity.
Because higher-capacity memory cards are overwritten less
frequently, they usually last longer.
• Use a high-quality memory card with a speed rating of class
10 or higher.
• Purchase your replacement memory card from a high-quality
manufacturer and a reputable vendor.
My video recordings are choppy or
incomplete
• For the best camera and video results, use a high-quality
memory card with a speed rating of class 10 or higher.
A slower memory card may not record video quickly enough.
• If you are viewing videos on your smartphone using a
wireless connection to the camera, try viewing them in
another location with less wireless interference, or try
transferring videos to the smartphone (Trimming and
Exporting a Video, page 4).
• Transfer important recordings to a computer or smartphone,
and format the memory card (Formatting the Dash Cam
Memory Card, page 4).
• If the device displays a memory card error alert, first try
formatting the memory card (Formatting the Dash Cam
Memory Card, page 4) and then, if necessary, replace the
memory card (Replacing the Dash Cam Memory Card,
page 4).
• Update your device to the latest software (Map and Software
Updates, page 22).
My device does not connect to my phone
• Select Settings > Bluetooth.
The Bluetooth option must be enabled.
• Enable Bluetooth wireless technology on your phone and
bring your phone within 10 m (33 ft.) of the device.
• Verify your phone is compatible.
Go to www.garmin.com/bluetooth for more information.
• Complete the pairing process again.
To repeat the pairing process, you must unpair your phone
and device (Deleting a Paired Bluetooth Device, page 17),
and complete the pairing process (Live Services, Traffic, and
Smartphone Features, page 15).
Some smartphone features do not work
If you have paired your phone, but some smartphone features
do not work, you can take these actions to resolve the issue.
• In the app store on your smartphone, update the Garmin
Drive app to the most recent version.
• Verify the feature you want to use is enabled on your device
or smartphone (Enabling or Disabling Bluetooth Features,
page 15).
