Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)
FCM braking function
If the system judges that there is a high risk
of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front, the system applies the
brakes moderately to encourage you to apply
the brakes.
If the system judges that a collision is un-
avoidable, it initiates emergency braking con-
6
trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or,
if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.
When the emergency braking control is trig-
gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis-
ual and audible alarms like with the forward
collision warning function.
Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor-
mation screen of the multi-information dis-
play.
The FCM braking function operates at the
following vehicle speed:
Type 1
l Against a vehicle: Approximately 5 to
80 km/h (3 to 50 mph).
6-80 Starting and driving
l
Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5
to 65 km/h (3 to 40 mph).
E00635501582
Type 2
l Against a vehicle: Approximately 5 to
180 km/h (3 to 110 mph).
l
Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5
to 65 km/h (3 to 40 mph).
CAUTION
l Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.
l When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel
firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
l In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.
• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenly
cuts in front of your vehicle.
• When the distance from a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front is extremely short.
• To an oncoming vehicle.

CAUTION
• On vehicles equipped with CVT, when
the selector lever is in the "P" (PARK) or
"R" (REVERSE) position.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, when the
gearshift lever is in the "R" (REVERSE)
position.
• When the FCM has detected a problem in
the system.
l If the ASC is deactivated, the FCM braking
function will not operate. Refer to "Active
Stability Control (ASC)" on page 6-53.
l The FCM may or may not detect a motorcy-
cle, bicycle or wall depending on the situa-
tion. The FCM is not designed to detect
these objects.
l
The forward collision warning function
and/or the FCM braking function may not
activate in the following situations.
• When a vehicle suddenly appears just in
front of your vehicle.
When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehi-
•
cle very closely.
• When the vehicle in front is offset to the
left or right.
• When the vehicle in front is towing a
trailer.
• A freight trailer that is not carrying a con-
tainer.

the carrier.
The vehicle has a low vehicle height.
