Cautions regarding the use of the
function
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings.
The FCTA system is a supplementary
system that informs the driver of vehicles
approaching from the left and right of the
front of the vehicle.
Do not overly rely on the FCTA system.
Over reliance on the system may lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.
The details of the warning display may
differ from the actual traffic conditions.
Although the warning display will stop
being displayed after a certain amount of
time, this does not indicate that vehicles
or pedestrians are no longer around your
vehicle.
