When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the FCM will automatically applymoderate braking to warn the driver to applythe brakes immediately.If the FCM judges that the collision is highlyunavoidable, it will automatically applyemergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision.When the FCM applies
emergency braking, a
buzzer sounds and a warn
ing message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi-information display.The FCM braking function operates when thefollowing ve
hicle speed:
Against a vehicle:
Approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h) to 50 mph (80 km/h)mph (5 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h)

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving
aid system that alerts the driver when another
vehicle which may not be visible through the
outside rearview mirror is traveling in the
next lane behind your vehicle.
When a vehicle in the next lane is traveling at
same speed or faster in the detection areas,
the Blind Spot Warning light in the corre-
sponding outside rearview mirror will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated to the
side where the Blind Spot Warning light is
illuminated, the Blind Spot Warning light will
blink and the system will beep three times to
alert the driver.
