Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)*†6
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front view
camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking. Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning when it detects a potential collision with a
vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the Instrument Cluster LCD A. Adjust the Warning
Time (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display. FCA is ON by default and can
be turned OFF in the User Settings, selecting Driving Assist, then Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, the FCA automatically applies the brakes to reduce your
speed, potentially helping to avoid or reduce the effects of a possible collision.
FCA will become active when the:
•Engine Start /Stop button is ON
•Vehicle is traveling more than 6 mph
•Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist* is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
REMINDERS:
• FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previous setting is off
• If FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, FCA is automatically turned off
• When FCA is off, FCA warning indicator is on in the instrument cluster
• The warning sound can be adjusted in the User Settings
