Forward Obstruction Warning
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.
How to set the speed:
1 Adjust the vehicle to the desired speed using the accelerator pedal.
2 Push the SET + or SET – switch. The set speed and the inter-vehicle
distance display filled with white lines is displayed in the active driving
display and the MRCC indicator light (green) turns on simultaneously.

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.

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.
