Forward Collision Warning System Performance Tips - Garmin DASH CAM 54 Owner's Manual

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 (Setting the Camera Placement, page
• 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

Lane Departure Warning System
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
/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 or cross into an oncoming traffic lane. 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.
NOTE: For the best LDWS performance, you should set the
Camera Placement option to indicate the location of your device
in the vehicle.
