Forward Collision Warning - Fcw - Maserati GranTurismo 2024 Owner's Manual

Forward Collision Warning -
FCW
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
system with braking action uses the
same parts already described for
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) for
sensing vehicle ahead (hereinafter
"target vehicle") as well as part of
the warnings/messages on system
condition and activation status.
Full performance can be reached only
when both the sensing parts have
detected a vehicle or a pedestrian.
AEB (Automated Emergency Braking)
ICA (Intersection Collision Assist) (
Automated Emergency Braking
System
Automated Emergency Braking provides
the driver with audible warnings, visual
warnings on the instrument cluster
display, and may apply automatic
braking when it detect a potential frontal
collision with a pedestrian or a object.
WARNING!
Automated Emergency Braking is not
intended to avoid a collision on its own,
nor it can detect every type of potential
collision with pedestrian. 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.

System Limitations
Automated Emergency Braking may
be impaired or may not function in the
following situations:
• If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
insufficient illumination of the road,
if there are highly variable shade
conditions or in rain, snow or fog.
• If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming
traffic, direct sunlight or reflections
from other vehicles.
)
• If the windshield in the area of the
camera is dirty, or if the camera is
fogged up, damaged or covered.
• During air suspension transitions.
System Operation
The FCW provides audible and visual
warnings when a potential collision is
detected. Brake jerk and limited braking
may also be applied depending on the
specific scenario.
FCW monitors the information from the
forward looking radar sensor and camera
(2 more corner radar sensors are present
in the front part of the car when ICA is
equipped) to calculate the probability
of a forward collision; the Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC) will execute
the brake request. When the system
determines that a forward collision is
probable, the driver will be provided
with audible and visual warnings and
may provide a warning brake jerk. If
