WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the FEB system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The FEB system is a supplemental aid
to the driver. It is not a replacement for
the driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely. It
cannot prevent accidents due to care-
lessness or dangerous driving
techniques.
●The FEB system does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The FEB system can assist the driver when there
is a risk of a forward collision with the vehicle
ahead in the traveling lane.The FEB system uses a radar sensor
Alocated
behind the lower grille of the front bumper to
measure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the
same lane.

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING
(FEB) (if so equipped)
5-106Starting and driving

1. Vehicle ahead detection indicator
2. FEB system warning light
FEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB system will function when your vehicle is
driven at speeds above approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the FEB
system will provide an initial warning to the driver
by both a visual and audible alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully after the warning, and the FEB system de-
tects that there is still the possibility of a forward
collision, the system will automatically increase
the braking force. If the driver does not take
action, the FEB system issues the second visual
warning (red) and audible warning and also ap-
plies partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the
FEB system applies harder braking automatically.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
braking is performed by the forward emer-
gency braking system.
LSD2612
Starting and driving5-107

Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway
conditions, the system may help the driver avoid a
forward collision or may help mitigate the conse-
quences of a collision, should one be unavoid-
able. If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB system will func-
tion later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the fol-
lowing conditions:
●When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary to avoid a collision.
●When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
●When there is no longer a vehicle detected
ahead.
If the FEB system has stopped the vehicle, the
vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.

PEDESTRIAN FORWARD
EMERGENCY BRAKING (PFEB)
SYSTEM (if so equipped)
5-112Starting and driving

The PFEB system can assist the driver when
there is a risk of a forward collision with the
vehicle ahead or pedestrian in the travelling lane.
The PFEB system detects a vehicle ahead and
pedestrian using a multi-sensing front camera
1
located on the upper side of the windshield.
LSD2617
Starting and driving5-113

SYSTEM OPERATION
The PFEB system operates when vehicle speed
is within the range of approximately 5 to 50 mph
(10 to 80 km/h).
(The system will not activate for a stationary ve-
hicle or a pedestrian when the vehicle is driven at
speeds faster than approximately 37 mph
(60 km/h).)
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
PFEB system will provide the first warning to the
driver by flashing the warning light, providing an
audible warning and applying partial braking.
If the driver’s collision avoidance operation is not
sufficient and the risk of collision is increased, the
system issues the second visual warning and
audible warning, and applies harder braking im-
mediately before the collision.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the PFEB system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead or pedestrian, as well as driving
and roadway conditions, the system may help the
driver avoid a forward collision or may help miti-
gate the consequences if a collision should one
be unavoidable.If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accel-
erating or braking, the PFEB system will function
later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the fol-
lowing conditions:
●When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary to avoid a collision.
●When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
●When there is no longer a vehicle or a pe-
destrian detected ahead.
If the PFEB system has stopped the vehicle, the
vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.
