Driver Assistance Alert Descriptions:

Forward Collision Warning

The Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS) feature allows the device to detect when you are not maintaining a safe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. The device will estimate your vehicle's speed using GPS, then calculate an estimated safe following distance based on your speed. The FCWS activates automatically when your vehicle speed exceeds 30 miles per hour (48 km per hour).

Go Alert

The Go Alert plays a tone and displays an alert when stopped traffic ahead of your vehicle starts moving again. This alert appears only after the vehicle ahead has moved a substantial distance and your vehicle has remained stopped. This can be useful at stop lights or in traffic delays. This feature uses the dash camera to detect the stopped or moving vehicle and requires a clear view of the road. 

Lane Departure Warning

The Lane Departure Warning System (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 40 miles per hour (64 km per hour). The alert appears on the left or right side of the screen to indicate which lane boundary you crossed.

Proximity Alerts

Red Light and Speed Cameras

Red Light and Speed Camera alerts (sold separately) will allow your device to alert you to upcoming speed and red light cameras. Coverage is not available in all areas.

The device plays a tone and displays the distance to the red light camera.
