Center (EVIC) refer to "Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC)" in "Understanding Your
Instrument Panel" for further information. The
FCW Status Off, Near or Far will be displayed in
the EVIC.

Example Only
The default status of FCW is the "Far" setting,
this allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when
you are farther away. This gives you the most
reaction time.
Changing the FCW status to the "Near" setting,
allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when
you are much closer. This setting provides less
reaction time than the "Far" setting, which al-
lows for a more dynamic driving experience.
Changing the FCW status to "Off" prevents the
system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
NOTE:
In the "Off" setting FCW OFF will be dis-
played in the EVIC.

NOTE:
• The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down.
• FCW will not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the car,
stationary objects that are far away, on-
coming traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.
• FCW will be disabled like ACC below with
the unavailable screens.

Display Warnings and Maintenance

"Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle"
Warning
The FCW "Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle" warning will display when conditions
temporarily limit system performance. This
most often occurs at times of poor visibility,
such as in snow or heavy rain. The FCW system
may also become temporarily blinded due to
obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice. In these
cases, the EVIC will display "Clean Radar Sen-
sor In Front Of Vehicle" and the system will
deactivate.
