Mitigation system (FCM)* E00635101315
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) uses a sensor (A) to determine the
distance and relative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in front. When your vehicle is ap-
proaching a vehicle or a pedestrian straight- ahead in your path and the FCM judges that
there is the risk of a collision, the system gives audible and visual warnings (forward
collision warning function), increases the
brake fluid pressure (FCM brake prefill func- tion), and also provides braking force assis-
tance when you depress the brake pedal (FCM brake assist function) to avoid frontal
collision.
When the risk of collision increases more, the
system causes the brakes to work moderately to encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-tem judges that a potential collision is immi- nent, it initiates emergency braking to miti-
gate collision-caused damages or to avoid possible collision (FCM braking function).
Stop lamps are illuminated during automatic
braking.WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-sion- caused damages or to avoid colli-
sions as much as possible.
The system is not intended to compensate for driver’s loss of attention to the frontduring driving due to distraction or care-
lessness or supplement a drop in visibility
due to the rain and fog.
It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be ready to apply
the brakes manually.
l The FCM works to avoid frontal collisions
as much as possible. However, the effect
of its operation varies depending on situa- tions and conditions, such as driving con-
ditions, road conditions, and steering, ac- celeration and braking operations, so that
the performance the function can deliver
is not always the same.
If your vehicle is in danger of collision,
take all necessary collision-evading ac- tions, such as depressing the brake pedal
strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.
l Do not try to confirm the operation of the
FCM. In certain situations, this can cause an accident resulting in serious injury or
death.

Forward collision warningfunction
E00635401190
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function warns you of
the potential hazard with visual and audible
alarms.
When this function is triggered, a buzzer
sounds and, at the same time, the
indica-
tor starts flashing.
The forward collision warning function oper- ates at the following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately 15
km/h to 140 km/h.
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately 7
km/h to 65 km/h.
CAUTIONl Under certain conditions, the audible alarm
may not work at all or may be scarcely audi- ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if your
vehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec- essary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.FCM brake prefill function
E00635201101
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function prefills the
brake line with additional brake fluid to make
the brakes more responsive to your brake pedal operation.
The FCM brake prefill function operates at
the following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h to 80 km/h.
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h to 65 km/h.
FCM brake assist function
E00635301128
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function deploys the
brake assist sooner than the brake assist oper- ation.
The FCM brake assist function operates at
the following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h to 80 km/h.
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
15 km/h to 65 km/h.CAUTIONl The brake assist function may not be trig-
gered when the brake pedal is operated in
certain ways.
Do not overly rely on the system; if your ve- hicle is in danger of collision, take all neces-
sary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.FCM braking function
E00635501553
If the system judges that there is a high risk
of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front, the system applies the
brakes moderately to encourage you to apply the brakes.
If the system judges that a collision is un-
avoidable, it initiates emergency braking con- trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or, if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.When the emergency braking control is trig-
gered, you are warned of the hazard by a vis- ual alarm.
Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM)*
6-60OGAE18E1Starting and driving6

Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor- mation screen of the multi-information dis- play.
The FCM braking function operates at the
following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h to 80 km/h
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h to 65 km/h
CAUTIONl Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to hold the vehicle stationary.
l When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel
firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
l In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.CAUTION• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenly
cuts in front of your vehicle.
• When the distance from a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front is extremely short.
• To an oncoming vehicle.
• On vehicles equipped with
A/T or CVT,
