Driving your vehicle
Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead on the
roadway using 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.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
• The camera is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
• The camera lens is contaminated
due to a tinted, filmed or coated
windscreen, damaged glass, or
foreign matter is stuck (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
5
• 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 a vehicle 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 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 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.
