5. Driving guide
How it alerts the driver
The FCW system alerts the driver by the
following three methods:
1. Distance warning (vehicle speed > 60km/
h)
When the vehicle is following the other vehicle
ahead at high speed too closely, the indicator
lamp
on the instrument cluster will flash,
accompanied by the corresponding visual
prompt.
2. Proximity warning (vehicle speed > 30km/
h)
When the vehicle is approaching the vehicle/
pedestrian ahead with a risk of collision, the
indicator lamp on the instrument cluster will
flash, accompanied by the audible alarm and
visual prompt.
3. Brake jerk warning (vehicle speed >
45km/h)
When the vehicle has a high risk of collision
with a moving vehicle ahead, the brake jerk
warning will be triggered to remind the driver to
take immediate collision avoidance measures.
NOTE
● “Far, medium and near” can be set
via the “System Settings → Driving
Assistance → Longitudinal Driving
Assistance → FCW Distance Warning”
in the AV system. The FCW is designed
with a memory function to save the last
set warning distance.
● The FCW alerts can be stopped by
depressing the accelerator pedal or
turning the steering wheel.
● In a complex driving environment (such
as traveling on a curved road), the FCW
system may issue an unnecessary
warning.
The FCW system may not work properly in the
following cases:
-
The vehicle is traveling in an environment
with low visibility (such as heavy rain,
snow and haze).
-
The camera is subjected to direct strong
light or the light intensity changes
suddenly (such as entering and exiting a
tunnel).
-
The vehicle is passing through a curve, a
ramp or a bumpy road section.
-
The windshield in front of the camera is
dirty, damaged or covered.
-
T h e v e h i c l e a h e a d h a s s p e c i a l
modifications or decorations.
-
In the dark environment, the tail lamps
of the vehicle ahead are not lit or the
pedestrian is outside the range of the
vehicle lamps.
-
The pedestrian is short in height.
-
The obstacles ahead are animals or small
vehicles (such as bicycles, motorcycles
and tricycles).
-
The driver depresses the brake pedal.
-
The driver depresses the accelerator
pedal to the floor.
-
The steering wheel angle is large.
-
The vehicle is not in “D position.
