Warning (Continued)
The vehicle is not in
R (Reverse).
To help avoid death or injury,
always check for pedestrians
around the vehicle before backing
up. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0 148. Keep the RVC,
taillamps, and back-up lamps clean
and in good repair.
Rear Pedestrian Alert can be set to Off
or Alert. See Rear Pedestrian
Detection in Collision/Detection
Systems under Vehicle Personalization
0 121. If equipped, alerts can be set to
beeps or seat pulses. See Alert Type
in Collision/Detection Systems under
Vehicle Personalization 0 121.
Assistance Systems for
Driving
If equipped, when driving the
vehicle in a forward gear, Forward
Collision Alert (FCA), Lane Departure
Warning (LDW), Lane Keep Assist
(LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA),
Lane Change Alert (LCA), Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB), and/or the
Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB) System
can help to avoid a crash or reduce
crash damage.
Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
If equipped, the FCA system may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes. When approaching
a vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps or pulses
the driver seat. FCA also lights an
amber visual alert if following another
vehicle too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a distance
of approximately 60 m (197 ft) and
operates at speeds above 8 km/h
(5 mph). If the vehicle is equipped
with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
the FCA timing setting can only be
changed while ACC is not engaged.
See Adaptive Cruise Control 0 191.
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Warning
FCA is a warning system and does
not apply the brakes. When
approaching a slower-moving or
stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle too
closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help
avoid a crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all. FCA
does not warn of pedestrians,
animals, signs, guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels, or other
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0 148.
FCA can be disabled with either the
FCA steering wheel control or,
if equipped, through vehicle
personalization. See Collision/
Detection Systems under Vehicle
Personalization 0 121.
