WARNING
■
For safe use
Driving safely is solely the responsibility
of the driver. Pay careful attention to the
surrounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving. The FCTA system is
a supplementary system that informs the
driver of vehicles approaching from the
left and right of the front of the vehicle.
Over-reliance on this system may lead to
an accident resulting in death or serious
injury. The details of the warning display
may differ from the actual traffic condi-
tions. Although the warning display will
stop being displayed after a certain
amount of time, this does not necessarily
indicate that there are no longer any
vehicles or pedestrians around your
vehicle.
