WARNING
l
A driver is responsible for driving safely.
The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-
sion-caused damages or to avoid collisions
as much as possible.
The system is not intended to compensate
for driver’s loss of attention to the front
during driving due to distraction or care-
lessness or supplement a drop in visibility
due to the rain and fog.
It is never a substitute for your safe and
careful driving. Always be ready to apply
the brakes manually.
l
The FCM works to avoid frontal collisions
as much as possible. However, the effect of
its operation varies depending on situa-
tions and conditions, such as driving con-
ditions, road conditions, and steering, ac-
celeration and braking operations, so that
the performance the function can deliver
is not always the same.
If your vehicle is in danger of collision,
take all necessary collision-evading ac-
tions, such as depressing the brake pedal
strongly regardless of whether the system
is activated or not.
l
Do not try to confirm the operation of the
FCM. In certain situations, this can cause
an accident resulting in serious injury or
death.
Forward collision warning
function
E00635401116
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function warns you of
the potential hazard with visual and audible
alarms.
When this function is triggered, a buzzer
sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE!”
message appears on the information screen of
the multi information display.
The forward collision warning function oper-
ates at the following vehicle speed:
l
Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h ( 9 mph) to 140 km/h
( 87 mph).
l
Against a pedestrian: Approximately
7km/h ( 4 mph) to 65 km/h ( 40 mph).
CAUTION
l
Under certain conditions, the audible alarm
may not work at all or may be scarcely audi-
ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if your
vehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec-
essary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless
of whether the system is activated or not.
FCM brake prefill function
E00635201042
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function prefills the
brake line with additional brake fluid to make
the brakes more responsive to your brake
pedal operation.
The FCM brake prefill function operates at
the following vehicle speed:
l
Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
l
Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
FCM brake assist function
E00635301069
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function deploys the
brake assist sooner than the brake assist oper-
ation.
