uuWhen Driving uForward Collision Warning (FCW)*
Driving
1Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obs truct the FCW camera’s
field of vision.
Scratches, nicks, and othe r damage to the windshield
within the FCW camera’s fi eld of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormall y. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replac e the windshield with a
genuine Honda replacem ent windshield. Making
even minor repairs within th e camera’s field of vision
or installing an aftermarket replacement windshield
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the winds hield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Prop er calibration of the FCW
camera is necessary for the system to operate
properly.
Beep The camera is located behind
the rearview mirror.
The beeper sounds and
the FCW indicator and
the ambient meter
blink until a possible
collision is avoided.
