to detect a vehicle ahead, the FEB system is
automatically turned off. The FEB system warn-
ing light (orange)
*1will illuminate.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
FEB system will resume automatically.
Condition B
When the sensor area is covered with dirt or is
obstructed, making it impossible to detect a
vehicle ahead, the FEB system is automatically
turned off. The FEB system warning light
(orange)
*1will illuminate and the “FRONT
RADAR OBSTRUCTION” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
If the warning light (orange)
*1comes on, stop
the vehicle in a safe place, place the shift lever in
the P (Park) position and turn the engine off.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the PFCW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The PFCW system helps warn the
driver before a collision but will not
avoid a collision. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle ahead in
the same lane.
JVS0913X
The PFCW system uses a radar sensor*Alocated below the front bumper to measure the
distance to a second vehicle ahead in the same
lane.

PFCW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the PFCW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The PFCW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensor does not detect
the following objects: — Pedestrians, animals or obsta-
cles in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
. (Illustration A) The PFCW system
does not function when a vehicle
ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as a
motorcycle.
. The radar sensor may not detect a
vehicle ahead in the following con-
ditions:
— Snow or heavy rain — Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor
— Interference by other radar sources
— Snow or road spray from travel- ling vehicles.
— Driving in a tunnel
— Towing a trailer or other vehicle
. (Illustration B) When the vehicle
ahead is being towed.
. (Illustration C) When the distance to
the vehicle ahead is too close, the
beam of the radar sensor is ob-
structed.
. (Illustration D) When driving on a
steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.
. The system is designed to automa-
tically check the sensor’s function-
ality, within certain limitations. The
system may not detect some forms
of obstruction of the sensor area
such as ice, snow, stickers, for
example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver
properly. Be sure that you check,
clean and clear the sensor area

regularly.
. Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and the
chime may not be heard.
