Driving your vehicle
Limitations of the System
The FCA system is designed to mon-
itor the vehicle ahead on the road-
way through radar signals to warn
the driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor may not be able to detect the
vehicle ahead. In these cases, the
FCA system may not operate nor-
mally. The driver must pay careful
attention in the following situations
where the FCA operation may be
limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
• The radar sensor is blocked with a
foreign object or debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor
• There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
• There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
• The radar sensor recognition is
limited
• The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
• The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
• The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
• The vehicle in front is driving errat-
ically
•
The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicles in front
of the vehicle.
•
The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
•
The FCA system is not
designed to detect other
objects on the road.
•
The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.
•
The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
•
The FCA system cannot
detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a dead
end street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
