A pre-journey CrashGuard+ checklist covering profile readiness, device setup, storage, safe mounting and Drive Protection so evidence capture is ready before trouble starts.
FN CrashGuard+ is designed to help keep an incident record structured, but the quality of the record still depends on safe use, accurate information and careful review. The practical steps below are intended to make that process clearer.
Complete your Private Profile
Make sure the details used in reports and exports are present and current before you leave.
Mount the phone safely
Use a secure position that does not obstruct your view or require you to hold the device. Set the angle before moving.
Check battery and storage
A protection workflow depends on the device being able to operate. Start with adequate charge and enough free storage for the session you expect.
Open the app before driving
Start and confirm the protection state while stationary. Do not wait until traffic is moving to configure the app.
Understand the protection controls
Know what “protect” means and where protected incidents are reviewed. Familiarity matters when you are under pressure.
Keep the screen interaction minimal
The system should support the journey, not compete for attention. Avoid unnecessary interaction once driving starts.
Review after the journey
If nothing happened, finish normally. If an incident was protected, review the record when safely parked and add any missing information while it is still fresh.
