10 Rider Awareness Features and Alerts

Incident Detection and Notifications
WARNING
The device allows you to send your location to an emergency contact. This is a supplemental feature and
should not be relied upon as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. The Garmin Drive app does not
contact emergency services on your behalf.

NOTICE
To use this feature, your device must be connected to the Garmin Drive app using Bluetooth technology. You
can set emergency contacts using the Garmin Drive app.
To use this feature, your device must be connected to a compatible external power source using the included
mount or a USB cable.
Your zūmo device uses built-in sensors to detect a possible vehicle incident.
• If you set up an emergency contact, the device can send an automated text message to that contact when it
detects an incident and your vehicle stops moving. This can help alert the contact to your situation if you are
not able to call or send a message. This feature requires your device to be connected to the Garmin Drive app
using Bluetooth technology and your phone to have an active mobile data connection to send a message.
• If you have not set up an emergency contact, the device automatically displays the nearest address or
geographic coordinates, if available, when it detects an incident. This feature is helpful if you need to tell
emergency personnel your location.
• If you have an inReach satellite communicator connected to your zūmo device, you can manually send an
®

SOS when your zūmo device detects an incident.

Setting Up an Incident Contact

Before you can set up an incident detection contact, you must complete these tasks:
• Connect your device to Garmin Drive (Pairing Your Phone and Headset, page 34).
• Select Settings > Wireless Networks, and verify the Phone calls option is enabled for your phone.
The device must have access to the Garmin Drive app and to your smartphone phone book during the incident
contact setup. If you do not want to use your device for hands-free calling, you can disable the Phone calls
option after the incident contact setup is complete.
1 Select Settings > Driver Assistance > Incident Notification > Continue.
A list of your smartphone contacts appears.
2 Select a contact, and select Next.
3 Verify the contact's phone number, and select Next.
4 Enter your name or nickname, and select Done.
5 Review the sample incident message, and select Next.
6 Follow the on-screen instructions to inform your contact that you have added them as an incident contact.
NOTE: The incident notification message includes the name or nickname you entered, but it is not sent from
your phone number. The message is sent using a third-party service, and you should inform your incident
contact that the incident message will come from an unknown number.
7 Select OK.
8 Review the information, and select Save.

Cancelling an Incident Notification

When the device detects an incident, a message and a voice prompt inform you that a notification will be sent to
your incident contact. A 60-second countdown timer starts when the incident is detected, and the device sends
the notification automatically when the timer expires. If you do not want to send the notification, you can cancel
it.
Before the timer expires, select Cancel.

minute. To conserve battery power after the first 10 minutes, an updated location is sent every 10 minutes
when moving, and every 30 minutes when stationary.
Canceling an SOS Rescue

service.
Select Cancel SOS > Cancel SOS.
Your device transmits the cancellation request. When you receive a confirmation message from the emergency
response service, the device returns to normal operation.
