Driving your vehicle
Limitation of the system
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle or a pedestrian
ahead in the roadway 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.
WARNING
• 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 opposite
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 vehicle (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.
(Continued)
• The FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid the risk
of a collision.
• The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
• The FCA system may not acti-
vate according to the road con-
ditions,
inclement whether,
driving conditions or traffic
conditions.
• The FCA system operates only
to detect vehicles and pedestri-
ans in front of the vehicle.
