CAUTION
l Factors such as the positional relationship
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front,
driver's own technique of steering the vehi-
cle and irregularly moving traffic due to ac-
cidents or vehicle trouble may deter the
FCM control and alarm from functioning.
l When the system recognizes driver's steer-
ing or accelerating actions as evasive actions
to avoid collision, the FCM control and
alarm functions may be cancelled.
