Red Light and Speed Cameras
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.
• In some areas, your device can receive live red light and speed camera data while connected to a
smartphone running the Garmin Drive app.
• 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.
Advanced Driver Assistance System
Your device includes an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), which uses the integrated dash camera to
provide warnings and alerts about your driving environment.
You can enable or disable each of the advanced driver assistance features in the Driver Assistance settings
(Driver Assistance Settings, page 49).
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.
