Front air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occupants
are moved backward by the force of the
impact. In this case, inflated air bags
would not provide any additional benefit.
ODN8A039053ODN8A039053
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
ODN8039059ODN8039059
In an angled collision, the force of impact
may direct the occupants in a direction
where the air bags would not be able to
provide any additional benefit, and thus
the sensors may not deploy any air bags.
ODN8039054ODN8039054
Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this “underride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.

• Changing lanesWhen a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle,
especially if the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you must
maintain a safe braking distance, and
if necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
OHI058308LOHI058308L
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a vehicle in front of you merges
out of the lane, FCA system may not
immediately detect the new vehicle
that is now in front of you. In this case,
you must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe
distance.

• Detecting the vehicle in front of youIf the vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the cab,
or when the vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance, additional
special attention is required. FCA
system may not be able to detect the
cargo extending from the vehicle. In
these instances, you must maintain
a safe braking distance from the
rearmost object, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.

While Driving6-54
• The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully detected by the camera recognition
system, for example, if the pedestrian
is leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
• The pedestrian or cyclist is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
• The pedestrian or cyclist is wearing clothing that easily blends into the
background, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recognition
system
• The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight or
in sun glare) or too dark (e.g. when
driving on a dark rural road at night)
• It is difficult to detect and distinguish the pedestrian or cyclist from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians, cyclists or a large crowd
• There is an item similar to a person’s body structure
• The pedestrian or cyclist is small
• The pedestrian has impaired mobility
• The sensor recognition is limited • The radar sensor or camera is blocked
with a foreign object or debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of view of
the radar sensor or camera
• When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a puddle in
the road
• The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
• The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstructed
• The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
• The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a speed
bump
• You are on a roundabout
• The pedestrian or cyclist suddenly interrupts in front of the vehicle
• The cyclist in front is riding intersected with the driving direction
• There is any other electromagnetic interference
• The construction area, rail or other metal object is near the cyclist
• The bicycle material is not reflected well on the radar
WARNING
Turn off Forward Collision avoidance
Assist system through cluster or
infotainment system before towing
a vehicle. Application of FCA system
while towing may adversely affect the
safety of your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the vehicle
in front of you has cargo that extends
rearward from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has higher
ground clearance.

Emergency Situations7-16
When driving with the compact spare tire
mounted to your vehicle:
• Check the tire pressure after installing the compact spare tire. The compact
spare tire should be inflated to 60 psi
(420 kPa).
• Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
• The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact spare tire at a time.
NOTICE
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the lug nut torque must be set correctly.
The correct lug nut tightening torque is
79~94 lbf·ft (11~13 kgf·m).
CAUTION
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tire and your vehicle:
• Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 1
inch (25 mm).
• Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly.
• Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.
