Driving your vehicle
Limitation of the system
The FCA system is designed to mon-
itor the vehicle ahead or a pedestrian
on the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking. In certain situations, the
radar sensor or the camera may not
be able to detect the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead. In these cases,
the FCA system may not operate.
The driver must pay careful attention
in the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar or the camera is con-
taminated with foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows.
- There is electromagnetic interfer-
ence
- Something in the path of travel
deflects the radar waves
- The vehicle in front has a narrow
body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The driver's view is not clear due to
backlight, reflected light, or dark-
ness

vehicle, such as a heavily-loaded
truck or a trailer.

changed, such as entering/exiting
a tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recogni-
tion is limited.
- The vehicle in front is driving errat-
ically
- The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances such
as a construction zone, railroad,
etc.
- Moisture on the windshield is not
completely removed or frozen.
