Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*

If you press and hold the Forward Collision
Mitigation System (FCM) and Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS)
ON/OFF switch, you can switch the system
from OFF to ON or ON to OFF.
Once the system is turned on, the information
screen of the instrument cluster shows the
collision alarm timing currently selected, and
the “Forward Collision Mitigation System
(FCM) and Ultrasonic misacceleration Miti-
gation System (UMS) OFF” indicator on the
screen goes out.
When you turn off the system, the “Forward
Collision Mitigation System (FCM) and
Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System
OFF” message appears on the screen and the
“Forward Collision Mitigation System
(FCM) and Ultrasonic misacceleration Miti-
gation System OFF” indicator comes on.
Even if you switch the FCM from ON to
OFF, when the operation mode becomes ON,
the FCM will be set ON.
Give a short press to the Forward Collision
Mitigation System (FCM) and Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS)
ON/OFF switch to change the timing at
which the frontal collision alarm is triggered.
Every time you press the switch, the alarm
timing changes alternately between “FAR”
(earlier alarming), “MIDDLE” (normally
alarming) and “NEAR” (later alarming).
As you make selection, the selected alarm
timing is displayed on the information screen
of the instrument cluster. Even after turning
off the FCM or setting the operation mode to
“OFF”, the system retains your last selected
alarm timing in memory.
NOTE
When the Forward Collision Mitigation Sys-
tem (FCM) and Ultrasonic misacceleration
Mitigation System (UMS) ON/OFF switch is
held pressed to change the ON/OFF state of
the FCM, the ON/OFF state of the Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation System is also
changed at the same time.
To turn on/off the system
NOTE
The OFF indicator of the FCM and the OFF
indicator of the Ultrasonic misacceleration
Mitigation System are the same indicator.
CAUTION
In the following conditions, even if the FCM
is ON, the FCM is automatically switched to
OFF. In this case, the warning display may
appear if you press the Forward Collision
Mitigation System (FCM) and Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS)
ON/OFF switch.
