Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
If equipped, the FCA system may
help to avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes. When
approaching a vehicle ahead too
quickly, FCA provides a red flashing
alert and rapidly beeps. FCA also
lights a yellow visual alert if
following another vehicle much too
closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a
distance of approximately 60 m and
operates at speeds above 40 km/h.
{
Warning
FCA is a warning system and
does not apply the brakes. When
approaching a slower-moving or
stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle too
closely, FCA may not provide a
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
warning with enough time to help
avoid a crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all. FCA
does not warn of pedestrians,
animals, signs, guardrails,
bridges, construction barrels,
or other objects. Be ready to take
action and apply the brakes.
FCA can be disabled with the FCA
steering wheel control.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
FCA warnings will not occur unless
the FCA system detects a vehicle
ahead. When a vehicle is detected,
the vehicle ahead indicator will
display green.
Note
Vehicles may not be detected on
curves, highway exit ramps, or hills,
due to poor visibility; or if a vehicle
ahead is partially blocked by
pedestrians or other objects. FCA
will not detect another vehicle
ahead until it is completely in the
driving lane.
{
Warning
FCA does not provide a warning
to help avoid a crash, unless it
detects a vehicle. FCA may not
detect a vehicle ahead if the FCA
sensor is blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice, or if the windscreen is
damaged. It may also not detect a
vehicle on winding or hilly roads,
or in conditions that can limit
visibility such as fog, rain,
or snow, or if the headlamps or
windscreen are not cleaned or in
proper condition. Keep the
windscreen, headlamps, and FCA
sensors clean and in good repair.
