Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*
7-68 Starting and driving
7
E00635502039
If the system judges that there is a high risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front, the system applies the
brakes moderately to encourage you to apply
the brakes.
If the system judges that a collision is una-
voidable, it initiates emergency braking con-
trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or,
if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.
When the emergency braking control is trig-
gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis-
ual and audible alarms like with the forward
collision warning function.
Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor-
mation screen of the multi-information dis-
play.
The FCM braking function operates when the
following vehicle speed:

Against a vehicle: Approximately 5 km/h
to 80 km/h.

Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5
km/h to 65 km/h.
FCM braking function
CAUTION
 Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
 After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.
 When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel
firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
 In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.
• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenly
cuts in front of your vehicle.
• When the distance from a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front is extremely short.
• To an oncoming vehicle.
• When the select position is in the “P”
(PARK) or the “R” (REVERSE) position.
• When the FCM has detected a problem in
the system.
 If the ASC is deactivated, the FCM braking
function will not operate. Refer to “Active
stability control (ASC)” on page 7-45.
 The FCM may or may not detect a motorcy-
cle, bicycle or wall depending on the situa-
tion. The FCM is not designed to detect these
objects.
 The forward collision warning function
and/or the FCM braking function may not
activate in the following situations.
• When a vehicle suddenly appear just in
front of your vehicle.
• When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehicle
very closely.
• When the vehicle in front is offset to the
left or right.
• When the vehicle in front is towing a
trailer.
• A freight trailer that is not carrying a con-
tainer.
• The vehicle has a protruding load from the
carrier.
• The vehicle has a low vehicle height.
• The vehicle has an extremely high ground
clearance.
• When a vehicle in front is extremely dirty.
• When a vehicle in front is covered with
snow.
• When a vehicle in front has a large glass
surface.
