When the risk of collision increases more, the
system causes the brakes to work moderately
to encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-
tem judges that a potential collision is immi-
nent, it initiates emergency braking to miti-
gate collision-caused damages or to avoid
possible collision (FCM braking function).
Stop lamps are illuminated during automatic
braking.
If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation System also turns
ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicle is equip-
ped with the Ultrasonic misacceleration Miti-
gation System.)
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.
Forward collision warning
function
E00635401031
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 multi-information display.
CAUTION
l
This function does not work for a vehicle in
front which is moving extremely slower than
your vehicle.
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.
