Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian or cyclists on the roadway
through radar signals and camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle, a pedestrian or
cyclists 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 or camera 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 or camera
• There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
•
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.
•
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system.
Exercise extreme caution.
•
The FCA system operates
only to help detect vehicles,
pedestrian or cyclist in front
of the vehicle.
•
The FCA system operates
only to help detect vehicles or
pedestrians 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.
