Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

~1min read

The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system is designed to help detect and monitor vehicles or pedestrians ahead on the road using camera recognition, warn the driver of an imminent collision and, if necessary, apply emergency braking.

WARNING

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

  • This system is only a supplemental system and is not designed to replace the driver's need for extreme caution and attention. The detection range and the objects detected by the sensors are limited. Always pay attention to road conditions.
  • Never drive too fast for road conditions or when turning.
  • Always drive carefully to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. FCA does not stop the vehicle completely and does not prevent a collision.
