Driving your vehicle
WARNING
• The FCA is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver's con-
venience. It is the driver's
responsibility to control the
vehicle operation. Do not
solely depend on the FCA
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed or stop the vehicle.
• In certain instances
under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate unintentionally.
Also, due to sensing limita-
tions, in certain situations, the
front view camera recognition
system may not detect the
vehicle or pedestrians ahead.
The FCA system may not acti-
vate and the warning mes-
sage may not be displayed.

• The FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid the risk
of a collision.
• The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
• The FCA system may not acti-
vate depending on road condi-
tions, inclement whether, driv-
and
ing conditions or traffic condi-
tions. Therefore, the driver
should always pay attention to
the road and be prepared the
apply the brakes at all times.
• The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicles in front
of the vehicle.
WARNING
• The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
• The FCA system
designed to detect
objects on the road such as
animals.
• The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the opposite
lane.
• The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
• The FCA system cannot detect
the driver approaching the side
view of a parked vehicle (for
example on a dead end street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
