Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
For vehicles with FCA, this system
is intended to help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by front-end
crashes. FCA provides a flashing
visual alert and beeps when
approaching a vehicle directly
ahead too quickly. FCA also
provides a visual alert if following
another vehicle much too closely.
The forward-looking FCA camera
sensor is on the windshield ahead
of the rearview mirror. FCA detects
vehicles within a distance of
approximately 60 m (197 ft) and
operates at speeds above 40 km/h
(25 mph).
See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System on page 9 37 for more
information.
Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)

detect the lane markings. It only
operates at speeds of 56 km
(35 mph) or greater.
The LDW indicator, , appears
green if a lane marking is detected.
It changes to amber, flashes, and
