The displayed terrain is advisory in nature only. Individual obstructions may be shown if available in the database. However, all obstructions may not be available in the database and data may be inaccurate. Never use this information for navigation or to maneuver to avoid obstacles. Terrain information is based on terrain elevation information in a database that may contain inaccuracies. Terrain information should be used as an aid to situational awareness. Never use it for navigation or to maneuver to avoid terrain. Terrain uses terrain and obstacle information supplied by government sources. The displayed information should never be understood as being all- inclusive. WARNING: The data contained in the Terrain databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. 4.3.3 System Status The Terrain system continually monitors several system-critical items, such as database validity, hardware status, and GPS status. Should the system detect a failure, a failure message will be displayed.

Refer to the 500W-series Pilot’s Guides and/or Addendums for more information regarding these TAWS alerts. TAWS annunciations received from the GNS 500W Series TAWS unit will be displayed to the left and aligned with the top of the Altitude Tape on the G500 PFD. A new annunciation will flash for approximately five seconds. • TAWS annunciations can only be received from the #1 GNS unit if multiple GNS units are installed. • If the #1 GNS unit is powered OFF the G500 will revert to Terrain SVT alerting if equipped with synthetic vision. Figure 4-10 TAWS Annunciations from a 500W-series Unit NOTE: TAWS Caution Alerts are displayed as black text on a yellow background; TAWS Warning Alerts are displayed as white text on a red background.
