FORWARD OBSTRUCTION WARNING (FOW)
The Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system alerts the
driver of a possible collision using an indicator in the active
driving display and instrument cluster along with a warning sound.
The system operates when driving at 10 mph (15 km/h) or faster and the\

system’s radar sensor determines that your vehicle may hit a vehicle or
obstruction ahead.
CAUTION: Do not rely completely on the MRCC system and always
drive carefully obeying the speed limit.
NOTE: The MRCC sometimes will brake your vehicle when passing a semi truck (tractor
trailer). This is normal. Simply press the accelerator pedal to override the system.
NOTE: FOW can be turned off using the DSC OFF button.
WARNING: FOW is only a supplementar y system designed to reduce damage in
the event of a collision. The FOW has limitations and does not detect all objects. Do not
rely solely on the FOW. Relying solely on the FOW may cause an unexpected accident
resulting in death or serious injur y. Always keep your eyes on the road.

Laser Sensor
SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT (SCBS) SYSTEM
(if equipped)
The SCBS system is designed to reduce damage in the event of a
collision by applying the brakes when the system’s laser sensor detects
a vehicle ahead.
The system operates when the vehicle speed is 2 to
18 mph (4 to 30 km/h) and the system determines that a collision with
a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
NOTE:
• It may be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 9 mph (15 km/h).
• When the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the
operation range between 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h), the brakes are
applied firmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS Automatic Brake is displayed
in the active driving display.)
• SCBS automatic brake is released approximately 2 seconds after the
vehicle comes to a stop.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
WARNING: SCBS is only a supplementary
system to reduce damage in the event of a
collision , however the SCBS has limitations.
Do not rely solely on the SCBS . Always keep
your eyes on the road .
NOTE: SCBS system can be
turned off using Safety Settings
in the infotainment system.
