a message. Apply the
brakes to maintain the appropriate distance to the vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Applythe brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit or when your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.
• When driving on a curve. When the vehicle in
front has changed its
course or lane, if
a stationary vehicle
appears in front you
r vehicle, the ACC
will not decelerate your vehicle.

N00577300040
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicl
e straight ahead of your
vehicle. The FCM uses a radar sensor (A) to determine the distance to a vehicle in front and relative speed to th
at vehicle. The FCM is
not designed as an automatic driving systemor as a collision
avoidance system.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle straight ahead in your path and the FCMjudges that there is the ri
sk of a collision, the
system will give audibl
e and visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle straight-ahe
ad is imminent, the
system will automati
cally apply moderate
braking to warn you to apply the brakesimmediately. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahead is highly unavoid-able, the system will apply emergency brak- ing to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the collision.Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.
NOTE
 The conventional crui
se control does not
sound or display the approach alarm, will not adjust your vehicle sp
eed, and does not con-
trol the distance betw
een your vehicle and a
vehicle in front.

If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,this function warns you of the potential haz- ard with visual and audible alarms. When this function is triggered, a buzzersounds and, at the sa
me time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the information screen of the multi-information display. The FCM will also pr
epare to provide quick
brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes.
N00577700057
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahead is imminent, the FCM will automatically apply moderate brak-ing to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately. If the FCM judges that the collision is highlyunavoidable, it will automatically apply emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision. When the FCM applies emergency braking, abuzzer sounds and a warn
ing message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi- information display.
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident. The FCM is desi
gned to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crash speed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle in fr
ont. When your vehi-
cle is approaching a
vehicle too closely,
take all necessary actions to avoid a colli-sion, such as braking
and steering, regard-
less of whether the FCM is activated or not. Never rely on the FCM to prevent acollision.
Forward collision warning function

NOTE
 If the FCM detects that the driver is making steering and/or accelera
tion inputs to try and
avoid a collision, the forward collision warn- ings may stop.
FCM braking function

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Active stability control” on page 5-94.
