WARNING
If the brake pedal is not depressed within
2 seconds after your vehicle has been
stopped by the FCM, a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by the
FCM will automatically be released.
Apply the brakes as necessary to keep
your vehicle stationary.
NOTE
When depressing the brake pedal while auto-
matic braking is applied, the brake pedal will
feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake
pedal harder to apply greater braking force.
During the automatic braking, operating
sounds may be heard. This is normal.
WARNING
The FCM will not activate and will not
provide either warning or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:
• When the selector lever is in the "P"
(PARK), the "R" (REVERSE), or the
"N" (NEUTRAL) position.
• When your vehicle speed is extremely
low, less than approximately 2 mph
(2km/h).
• When an object other than a vehicle,
such as a pedestrian, is in front.
• When the FCM has detected a problem
in the system.
Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM) (if so equipped)
WARNING
• When a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of
your vehicle.
• When the vehicle in front is moving at a

19 mph (30 km/h) or faster while the
vehicle in front is stationary or moving
extremely slow.
