  • In an emergency, the brake system enters a standby state to enable a quick response when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
  • The FCA system provides additional braking force for optimal braking performance when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
  • Brake control is applied automatically. It is deactivated when the driver suddenly depresses the accelerator pedal or when the driver makes a sudden steering maneuver.
  • Brake control is applied automatically. It is canceled when the risk factors disappear.

CAUTION

The driver must always exercise great caution when operating the vehicle, even when there is no warning message or warning alarm.

WARNING

The FCA system is an supplemental system and cannot completely stop the vehicle in all situations or avoid all collisions. It is the driver's responsibility to drive safely and control the vehicle.

WARNING

The FCA system evaluates the risk of a collision by monitoring several variables, such as the distance to the vehicle ahead, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and the driver's actions.

Certain conditions, such as bad weather, road conditions, and system limitations, may affect the operation of the FCA system.

WARNING

Never intentionally drive dangerously to activate the system, as such behavior increases the risk of an accident.
