WARNING
For safe use
■
Driving safely is solely the responsibility
of the driver. Pay careful attention to the
surrounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving.
The FCTA system is a supplementary
system that informs the driver of vehicles
approaching from the left and right of the
front of the vehicle.
Over-reliance on this system may lead to
an accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
The details of the warning display may
differ from the actual traffic conditions.
Although the warning display will stop
being displayed after a certain amount of
time, this does not necessarily indicate
that there are no longer any vehicles or
pedestrians around your vehicle.
