GENERAL INFORMATION
M2357000200136
CAUTION
Do not overestimate the FCM. It is never
almighty. In addition, the FCM is not designed to
avoid driver's inattentive or careless driving or
improve the poor vision due to rain or fog.
• No system control and warnings are provided
if any of the conditions below is satisfied:
a. A vehicle-travelling-ahead is stationary,
extremely slow or extremely slower than
your vehicle.
b. Another vehicle cuts in abruptly.
c. The distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle-travelling-ahead is too short.
d. The FCM system is defective.
• No system control and warnings MAY be pro-
vided if any of the conditions below is satis-
fied:
a. The object travelling ahead is a motor
bike, a bicycle, a pedestrian, an animal or
a falling object on the road, etc.
b. An extremely heavy load is stored on the
rear seat or the luggage compartment.
c. The radar is contaminated with dirt, snow
or ice.
d. The vehicle is being driven on a winding
road or near a corner.
e. In bad weather (rain, snow, fog)
f. Another vehicle interrupts your vehicle
abruptly.
g. Your vehicle is driven uphill or downhill
repeatedly.
h. The system determines that the driver has
operated the steering wheel, the accelera-
tor pedal, the brake pedal or the shift lever
to avoid a collision.
i. Your vehicle is not being driven stably due
to unstable relationship between your
vehicle and the vehicle-travelling-ahead,
the steering operation conditions, a traffic
accident or vehicle faults.
• A system control and warnings MAY be pro-
vided if any of the conditions below are satis-
fied:
a. There is an obstacle near a road curve.
b. The vehicle is being driven across a nar-
row bridge.
c. The vehicle is being driven through a low
or narrow gate.
d. There are road humps, pothole or any
metal obstacles.
e. Your vehicle becomes too close to the
vehicle-travelling-ahead during overtak-
ing.
f. Your vehicle is being driven under an over-
pass.
• The system may operate incorrectly if any of
the following conditions is satisfied. In such a
case, turn the FCM system off.
a. Your vehicle is towed.
b. Your vehicle is carried by a truck.
c. Your vehicle is driven on a chassis
dynamometer or a free roller.
d. Wheels rotates freely by starting the
engine with your vehicle off the ground.
e. Your vehicle is driven under a streamer, a
flag or a weeping tree branches, or on a
bush.
f. Sporty driving such as competition
If the Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) determines
that a collision may occur by using its integrated
radar, it will provide a visual and audible warning on
the combination meter to alert the driver of an
impending danger, and controls the vehicle braking
by increasing the brake fluid pressure or enhancing
the brake pedal effort. If a collision is highly antici-
pated, the system will brake the vehicle automatically
in order to avoid or reduce the injury or damage due
to the collision accident.
NOTE: The warning timing can be switched between
"FAR" and "NEAR" by operating the FCM ON/OFF
switch.
