sion Warning is activated later
than normal. This setting reduces
the amount of distance between
the vehicle or pedestrian ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
Select this condition only when
traffic is light, and you are driving
slowly.
Prerequisite for the FCA activation
The FCA will activate when the FCA
is selected on the LCD display, and
when the following prerequisites are
satisfied:
䳜 The ESC (Electronic Stability Con

trol) is activated.
䳜 The driving speed is over 6 mph
(10 km/h). (The FCA only works
within a certain range of vehicle
speeds)
䳜 When the FCA recognizes a vehicle
or the pedestrian in front.
WARNING

obstacle or provide warnings and
braking in every situation, so do not

instances where the driver sees an
obstacle and has the ability to apply
the brakes.
䳜 The FCA automatically activates
upon placing the POWER button
to the ON position. The driver can
deactivate the FCA by canceling
the system setting on the LCD

䳜 To avoid driver distractions, do
not attempt to set or cancel the
FCA while operating the vehicle.
