WARNING
FCA system is only a supple-mental system for the driver’s
convenience. The driver has
the ultimate responsibility to
control and operate the vehi-
cle safely. Do not solely
depend on FCA system.
Rather, maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and, if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal
to lower the driving speed.
In certain instances and under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA system may acti-
vate unintentionally. This ini-
tial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a
warning chime.
(Continued)
(Continued)Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
or cyclist (if equipped) ahead.
FCA system may not activate
and the warning message will
not be displayed.
FCA system may unnecessar- ily produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarms.
Also, due to the sensing limi-
tation, FCA system may not
produce the warning message
and the warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with FCA system, the braking
control does not operate upon
detecting a collision risk even
with other braking systems
normally operating.
(Continued)(Continued)
FCA system operates only forthe vehicle/pedestrian in
front, while driving forward. It
does not operate for any ani-
mals or vehicles in the oppo-
site direction.
FCA system does not recog- nize the vehicle, which trans-
versally drives across the
crossroad, or the vehicle,
which is parked in the trans-
versal direction.
If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
FCA system may activate dur- ing braking and the vehicle
may stop suddenly. And the
load in the vehicle may endan-
ger passengers. Therefore,
always be mindful of the load
volume in the vehicle.
