Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) System is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian in the roadway through
radar signals and camera recogni-
tion 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 or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
Driving your vehicle
(Continued)
• If there is a malfunction with
the FCA system, the Forward
Collision-Avoidance assist
system is not applied even
though the braking system is
operating normally.
• If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
• The FCA system may activate
during braking and the vehi-
cle may stop suddenly shift-
ing loose objects toward the
passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.
• The FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid a colli-
sion.
• The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicles or
pedestrians in front of the
vehicle.
• 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 cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
• The FCA system cannot
detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (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.
