the warning alarms. Also, due to
the sensing limitation, the FCA
may not produce the warning
message and the warning alarm
at all.
䳜 When there is a malfunction with
the FCA, the autonomous emer
-
gency braking does not operate
upon detecting a collision risk
even with other braking systems
normally operating.
䳜 The FCA operates only for the
vehicle/pedestrian in front, while
driving forward. It does not oper
-
ate for any animals or vehicles in
the opposite direction.
䳜 The FCA does not recognize the
vehicle, which horizontally drives
across the crossroad, or the vehi
-
cle, which is parked in the hori
-
zontal direction.
䳜 If the vehicle in front stops sud
-
denly, you may have less control
of the brake system. Therefore,
always keep a safe distance
between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you.
䳜 The FCA system may activate
during braking and the vehicle
may stop suddenly. And the load
in the vehicle may endanger pas
-
sengers. Therefore, always be
mindful of the load volume in the
vehicle.
䳜 The FCA system may not activate
if the driver applies the brake
pedal to avoid risk of collision.
䳜 If there is a malfunction with the
FCA system, the autonomous
emergency braking is not applied
even thought the braking system
is operating normally.
䳜 The FCA system does not operate
when the vehicle is in reverse.
䳜 The FCA system is not designed
to detect other objects on the
road such as animals.
䳜 The FCA system does not detect
vehicles in the opposite lane.
䳜 The FCA system does not detect
cross traffic vehicles that are
approaching.
䳜 The FCA system cannot detect
the driver approaching the side
view of a parked vehicle (for
example on a dead end street). In
these cases, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if nec
-
essary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe distance.
䳜 The regular braking function will
operate normally even if there is a
problem with the FCA brake con
-
trol system or other functions. In
this case, the autonomous brak
-
ing will not operate in the risk of a
collision.
䳜 The FCA system may not activate
depending on road or driving con
-
ditions.
䳜 The FCA system may not activate
to all types of vehicles.
