FCA Warning Message and Control System

FCA provides warning messages and warning sounds according to collision risk levels, such as sudden stopping of the vehicle ahead, insufficient braking distance, or detection of pedestrians. It also controls the brakes according to collision risk levels.

The driver can select the initial warning activation timing in the User Settings on the LCD display. Options for the initial Forward Collision Warning include early, normal, or late initial warning timing.

This initial warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning chime.

This warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning chime. In addition, on some vehicles, the engine control system intervenes to help decelerate the vehicle.

- The vehicle speed may decrease moderately.
- The FCA system limitedly controls the brakes to proactively reduce the impact of a collision.

Emergency Braking (3rd Warning)

This warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning chime.

In addition, on some vehicles, the engine control system intervenes to help decelerate the vehicle.

- The FCA system limitedly controls the brakes to proactively reduce the impact of a collision. Maximum braking control is applied immediately before a collision.

Brake Operation

• In an emergency, the braking system goes into a standby state for a quick response to the driver's brake pedal operation.
• FCA provides additional braking power for optimal braking performance when the driver presses the brake pedal.
• Brake control is automatically canceled when the driver rapidly depresses the accelerator pedal or rapidly turns the steering wheel.
• FCA brake control is automatically canceled when the risk factors disappear.

CAUTION

The driver must always exercise extreme caution when operating the vehicle, regardless of whether there is a warning message or alarm from the FCA system.

WARNING

Brake control cannot completely stop the vehicle or avoid all collisions. The driver is responsible for driving safely and controlling the vehicle.

WARNING

The FCA system logic operates based on certain parameters, such as the distance to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and the driver's vehicle speed. Certain conditions such as bad weather and road conditions may affect FCA system operation.

WARNING

Never intentionally drive dangerously to activate the system.
