•
The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
•
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system.
Pay extreme caution.
•
The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicles in front
of the vehicle.
WARNING
•
The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
•
The FCA system is not de-
signed to detect other objects
on the road such as animals.
•
The FCA system does not
detect pedestrians in front of
the vehicle.
•
The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.
•
The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
•
The FCA system cannot detect
the driver approaching the
side view of a parked vehicle
(for example on a dead end
street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision avoidance
assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead in the
roadway through camera recognition
to warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the camera may
not be able to detect the vehicle
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
