FCA Warning Message and System Control

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

The driver can select the timing of the initial warning in the user settings on the LCD display. Initial forward collision warning options include Early, Normal, or Late initial warning timing.

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

This warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning sound. In addition, the engine control system intervenes in some vehicle systems to help slow the vehicle.

- The speed of your vehicle may decrease slightly.
- The FCA system applies limited brake control to proactively reduce the impact of a collision.

Emergency Braking (3rd Warning)

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

In addition, the engine control system intervenes in some vehicle systems to help slow the vehicle.

- The FCA system applies limited brake control to proactively reduce the impact of a collision. Immediately before a collision, brake control becomes maximum.

Brake Operation

• In an emergency situation, the brake system enters a ready state for a quick response when the driver presses the brake pedal.
• FCA provides additional braking force for optimal braking efficiency when the driver presses the brake pedal.
• Brake control is automatically canceled when the driver rapidly presses the accelerator pedal, or when the driver sharply turns the steering wheel.
• FCA brake control is automatically canceled when the risk factors disappear.

CAUTION

The driver must always exercise extreme caution when driving the vehicle, whether or not 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

FCA system logic operates within certain parameters, such as the distance to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and your vehicle speed. Certain conditions, such as severe weather and road conditions, may affect FCA system operation.

WARNING

Never drive with a dangerous intent to activate the system.
