message is displayed or audible
warning is generated, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
message may not be displayed
and audible warning may not be
generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist if the surrounding is noisy.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may turn off or may not
operate properly or may operate
unnecessarily depending on the road
conditions and the surroundings.
warning
• even if there is a problem with

CAUTION
• Forward Collision-AvoidanceAssist
operating speed range may reduce
due to the conditions of the
vehicle or pedestrian in front or
surroundings. Depending on the
speed, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may only warn the driver, or it
may not operate.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will operate under certain conditions
by judging the risk level based on
the condition of the oncoming
vehicle, driving direction, speed and
surroundings.
Information
In a situation where collision is imminent, braking may be assisted by Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist when braking
is insufficient by the driver.
