PFCW SYSTEM OPERATION
The PFCW system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
If there is a potential risk of a forward colli-
sion, the PFCW system will warn the driver
by blinking the vehicle ahead detection indi-
cator, and sounding an audible alert.

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the PFCW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
• The PFCW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions. •
The radar sensor does not detect the fol-
lowing objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in
the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
• (Illustration A) The PFCW system does
not function when a vehicle ahead is a
narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
• The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Snow or heavy rain –
Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov-
ering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel
– Towing a trailer
• (Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is
being towed.
• (Illustration C) When the distance to the
vehicle ahead is too close, the beam of
the radar sensor is obstructed.

•(Illustration D) When driving on a steep
downhill slope or roads with sharp
curves.
• The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers,
etc. In these cases, the system may not
be able to warn the driver properly. Be
sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area regularly.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime may
not be heard.

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar sen-
sor may detect vehicles in a different lane, or
may temporarily not detect a vehicle traveling
ahead. This may cause the PFCW system to
work inappropriately. The detection of ve-
hicles may also be affected by vehicle opera-
tion (steering maneuver or traveling position
in the lane, etc.) or vehicle condition.If this
occurs, the system may warn you by blinking
the vehicle ahead detection indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You will
have to manually control the proper distance
away from the vehicle traveling ahead.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A
When the radar sensor picks up interference
from another radar source, making it impos-
sible to detect a vehicle ahead, the PFCW
system is automatically turned off.
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
OFF warning light (orange) will flash.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the PFCW system will resume automatically.
Condition B
When there is inclement weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.) blocking the front radar sensor,
the PFCW system will automatically be can-
celed and the “Forward Driving Aids tempo-
rarily disabled Front Sensor blocked See
Owner’s Manual” warning message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display.
