Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision avoidance
assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead in the
roadway through camera recognition
to warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the camera may
not be able to detect the vehicle
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.

• The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
• Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system.
Pay extreme caution.
• The FCA system operates
only to detect vehicles in front
of the vehicle.
• The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
• The FCA system is not de-
signed to detect other objects
on the road such as animals.
• The FCA system does not
detect pedestrians in front of
the vehicle.
• The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the oppo-
site 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.
