Driving Your Vehicle

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

~1min read

The FCA system is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead on the road through camera recognition, to warn the driver that a collision is imminent and, if necessary, apply emergency braking.

WARNING

The camera-type FCA system does not operate for pedestrians ahead.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions when using the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system:

  • This system is only a supplemental system and is not intended to replace the need for extreme care and attention by the driver. The operating range and objects detected by the sensors are limited. Always pay attention to road conditions.
  • NEVER drive too fast for road conditions or in curves.
  • Always drive carefully to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. FCA does not guarantee that the vehicle will fully stop and does not guarantee that all collisions will be avoided.
