(Continued)
• The FCA operates only for the ve‐
hicle / pedestrian in front, while
driving forward. It does not oper‐
ate for any animals or vehicles in
the opposite direction.
• The FCA does not recognize the
vehicle, which horizontally drives
across the crossroad, or the vehi‐
cle, which is parked in the horizon‐
tal direction.
Limitation of the system
The FCA is an assistant system for a
driver in a certain risky driving condition
and it does not take every responsibili‐
ty for all risks from driving condition.
The FCA monitors the driving situations
through the radar and the camera sen‐
sor. Thus, for a situation out of the
sensing range, the FCA may not nor‐
mally operate. The driver should pay
great caution in the following situa‐
tions. The FCA operation may be limi‐
ted.
Recognizing vehicles
-
The radar or the camera is contami‐
nated with foreign substances.
-
It heavily rains or snows.
-
There is interruption by electric
waves.
-
There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar.
-
The vehicle in front has a narrow
body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
-
The driver’s view is unclear due to
the backlight, the reflected light, or
darkness.
-
The camera cannot contain the full
image of the vehicle in front.
-
The vehicle in front is a special vehi‐
cle, such as a heavily-loaded truck or
a trailer.
The vehicle in front does not turn ON
the rear lights, does not have rear
lights, has asymmetric rear lights, or
has rear lights out of angle.
-
The outside brightness is greatly
changed, such as entering/exiting the
tunnel.
-
The vehicle driving is unstable.
-
The radar/camera sensor recognition
is limited.
-
Driving on unpaved and uneven road
surfaces, or through sudden gradient
changes.
-
In construction zones or on railroad
tracks, or there are metallic objects
on the road.
-
Driving indoors such as in an under‐
ground parking lot.
-
Driving on a curve
The FCA performance decreases
while driving on a curve. The FCA may
not recognize the vehicle in front
even in the same lane. It may unnec‐
essarily produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm at all.
While driving on a curve, pay great
caution, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal.
