Forward Collision Warning System
The forward collision warning system (FCWS) feature is for
information only and does not replace your responsibility to
observe all road and driving conditions, abide by all traffic
regulations, and use safe driving judgment at all times. The
FCWS relies on the camera to provide a warning of upcoming
vehicles and, as a result, may have limited functionality in low
visibility conditions. For more information, go to
/warnings.
NOTE: This feature is not available in all areas or for all product
models.
The FCWS feature alerts you when the device detects that you
are not maintaining a safe distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front of you. The device determines your vehicle
speed using GPS, and it calculates an estimated safe following
distance based on your speed. The FCWS activates
automatically when your vehicle speed exceeds 48 km/hr
(30 mph).
When the device detects that you are too close to the vehicle
ahead of you, the device plays an audible alert, and a warning
appears on the screen.
