Forward Collision Mitigation Fcm - PREVOST H3-45 2023 Operator's Manual

4-58 Controls and Instruments

FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION FCM

The Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM) detects potential collisions while the vehicle is traveling
forward, provides warnings to the driver and when needed, automatically applies up to 66% of the braking
power to lessen the severity of an impact.
The FCM system is ready to intervene whenever the vehicle is traveling at speed above 15 mph (24 km/h). It
operates independently of the vehicle ACB and will intervene even if the cruise control is turned off or there is
no cruise set speed.
The FCM system is enhanced with the use of the FLC-20 windshield forward-looking camera. This camera
increases the performance of the collision mitigation system by visually detecting a forward object as a vehicle
and confirming with the ACB radar sensor its position within the lane of travel.
If the forward vehicle is stationary, the FCM system will apply up to 66% of the braking power. The maximum
speed reduction is about 25 mph / 40 km/h. Note that this feature will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
CAUTION
Pedestrians, Animals, Non-metallic, or Limited-metallic Objects
The Prevost Driver Assist™ system will not warn or react to pedestrians, animals, and non-metallic objects.
The system may not warn or react to limited-metallic objects (such as recreational vehicles, horse-drawn
buggies, motorcycles, logging trailers, etc.).
Head-Up Display HUD
The FCM system is enhanced with a Head-Up Display (HUD) LED warning. The HUD project an intensive red
light that is reflected in the windscreen to warn the driver when the FCM detects potential collision.
HUD Diagnostic: At startup, the HUD warning LED shall be diagnosed for failures such as open circuit, short
to battery and short to ground. This shall be performed by activating the LED for a short time.
