Distraction Warning
This device is intended to enhance the situational awareness when used properly. If used improperly, you could become distracted by the display, which could lead to an accident causing serious personal injury or death. Only access the information displayed on the device with a glance. Always maintain awareness of your surroundings and do not stare at the display or become distracted by the display. Focusing on the display could prevent you from avoiding obstacles or hazards.
Driver Assistance Warning
If your device has Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS) and Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) features, be advised that these features are for information only and do 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 and LDWS features rely on the camera to provide warnings of upcoming vehicles and lane markers and, as a result, may have limited functionality in low visibility conditions. Certain conditions may impair the warning function. Go to garmin.com/warnings for details.
