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. 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. Date and Time: Sets the time, date, and format for the time stamp. Language: Sets all on-screen text to the selected language. Format Card: Formats the memory card and deletes all files on the memory card. Restore: Restores all settings to the factory default values. Units: Sets the unit of measure used for distances. Camera Options Select > Camera Options. Forward Collision Warning: Adjust the sensitivity of the FCWS feature. A higher sensitivity setting calculates a longer estimated safe following distance. This feature is not available in all areas or for all product models. Event Detection: Turns on and off event detection (Event Detection, page 2). Data Overlay: Sets the type of data displayed on the video. Record Audio: Turns on and off audio recording. This feature is not available in all areas or for all product models. Record After Power Loss: Sets the amount of time that the device continues to record video after power is turned off. Resolution: Adjust the video resolution. Device Information 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 48 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. • The FCWS feature may not detect vehicles greater than 40 m (130 ft.) away or closer than 5 m (16 ft.).
