• FCW is designed to react in specific
situations in typical traffic scenarios
with objects in the same lane driving
in the same direction, but under
certain conditions it can also react on
stationary objects in the same lane. It
is not designed to react to oncoming
traffic or crossing traffic.
• The FCW alerts may be triggered on
objects other than vehicles such as
guard rails or sign posts based on
the course prediction. This can occur
but it is not a part of normal FCW
activation and functionality.
• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To
prevent such misuse of the system,
after four Active Braking events
within an ignition cycle, the Active
Braking portion of FCW will be
deactivated until the next ignition
cycle. The limit of four events applies
to the brake jerk too.
• FCW will automatically deactivated
when (ESC OFF) button is pressed
(LED light up).
WARNING!
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is
not intended to avoid a collision on
its own, nor can FCW detect every
type of potential collision. The driver
has the responsibility to avoid a
collision by controlling the vehicle
via braking and steering. Failure to
follow this warning could lead to
serious injury or death. The driver
is always in charge to safely drive
and to avoid critical situations not
relying on the support of the system.
Driver has to keep in mind that the
system and therefore its intervention
is always subject to the prevailing
physical limits.
• FCW is not intended either to warn
or to apply any brake aid/brake
intervention in case of collisions with
pedestrians (if not equipped with
Pedestrian Emergency Braking - PEB
sub-system), bicycles and smaller
vehicles in general.
