Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision avoidance
assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead in the road-
way through radar signals and camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if necessary,
apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle ahead. In these
cases, the FCA system may not
operate normally. The driver must
pay careful attention in the following
situations where the FCA operation
may be limited.
•
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
•
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 such as
animals.
•
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.)
•
The FCA system cannot
detect the cross traffic cyclist
that are approaching.
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.
