Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM) (if so equipped)
To change forward collision warn-
ing distance
The distance to the vehicle ahead which trig-
gers the forward collision warnings can be
selected from two levels, "NEAR" or "FAR".
To change the distance mode, push the FCM
ON/OFF switch. Every time the switch is
pushed, the distance mode will be switched.
The selected distance mode is shown on the
information screen of the multi-information
display.
When "NEAR" is selected
When "FAR" is selected
NOTE
 Actual distance which triggers the forward
collision warnings will vary depending on
your vehicle speed and the front vehicle
speed. The distance will become longer
when the vehicle speeds are higher.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
NOTE
 The distance which will trigger the FCM
braking function cannot be adjusted.
When a problem is detected
When the FCM system determines that its
performance has been degraded, the forward
collision warning function and the FCM brak-
ing function will become inoperative.
This can occur when
 Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice,
adhere to the surface of the radar sensor.
 In adverse weather conditions, such as
rain, snow, sand storms, etc.
 A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is
splashing water, snow or dirt.
 Driving on a nonbusy road with a few
vehicles and obstacles in front.
 The brake pads are overheating.
"FCM TEMPORARILY NOT AVAILABLE"
message will appear and the "FCM OFF"
indicator will be lit on the information screen
of the multi-information display.
When the radar sensor performance returns,
the FCM functions will resume operation.
