Driving your vehicle
Limitation of the system
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle or a pedestrian
ahead in 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 sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle ahead. In these
cases, the FCA system may not
operate normally. The driver must
pay careful attention in the following
situations where the FCA operation
may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The radar sensor or camera is cov-
ered with a foreign object or debris
The camera lens is contaminated
due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
Something in the path of travel
deflects the radar waves.
The radar/camera recognition is
limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system. (for example a trac-
tor, trailer, etc.)
WARNING
The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
The FCA system is not
designed to detect other
objects on the road such as
animals.
The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the opposite
lane.
The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
The FCA system cannot detect
the driver approaching the side
view of a parked vehicle (for
example on a dead end street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
