If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function warns you of the potential haz-
ard 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 instrument cluster.

If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function prefills the brake line with addi-
tional brake fluid to make the brakes more
responsive to your brake pedal operation.

If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
the automatic braking system may work mod-
erately for a short time to give a warning to
the driver.
WARNING
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.
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,
acceleration 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
actions, such as depressing the brake
pedal strongly regardless of whether the
system is activated or not.

WARNING
CAUTION
This function does not work for a vehicle in
front which is moving extremely slower than
your vehicle.
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
depressing the brake pedal strongly regard-
less of whether the system is activated or not.
