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. FCA does not warn
of pedestrians, animals, signs,
guardrails, bridges, construction
barrels, or other objects. Be ready
to take action and apply the
brakes. For more information, see
FCA can be disabled through
vehicle personalization. See the

be detected on curves, highway exit

visibility. FCA will not detect another

vehicle ahead until it is completely
in the driving lane.
