Rider Awareness Features and Alerts
The rider alerts and speed limit features are for information only and do not replace your responsibility to abide by all posted speed limit signs and to use safe driving judgement at all times. Garmin® is not responsible for any traffic fines or citations that you receive for failing to follow all applicable traffic laws and signs.
Your device provides features that can help encourage safer riding, even when you are riding in a familiar area. The device plays an audible tone or message and displays information for each alert. You can enable or disable the audible tone or message for each type of alert. Not all alerts are available in all areas.
