FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION (FCM)

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-28

Operation

The system calculates the distance and the relative velocity between the vehicle travelling ahead and your
vehicle by using a radar. If the system determines that a straightforward collision is imminent, it will avoid or
reduce the injury or damage due to the collision by performing the controls shown in the table below:

NOTE:

: If two seconds elapse after the forward col-

lision mitigation brake stops the vehicle, it can be
deactivated automatically.

Forward collision mitigation brake for low
speed driving

Activates the automatic emergency braking to reduce the
vehicle speed when the system determines that a forward
collision is imminent when the vehicle is being driven at 30
km/h or less. Stops the vehicle to avoid the collision under
certain circumstances.

FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION (FCM)

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-29

FCM ON/OFF SWITCH

The FCM ON/OFF switch is installed at the instru-
ment panel left lower side. You can switch the FCM
(on and off) and the warning timing ("FAR" and
"NEAR") by operating this switch.

How to switch on and off the FCM

The FCM is toggled between on and off when the
FCM ON/OFF switch is pressed for 1.5 seconds or
more. When the FCM is toggled, the system will
inform the driver of it by the combination meter LCD

display

and the buzzer.

NOTE:

: If the FCM is toggled off, "FCM OFF dis-

play" will be shown on the combination meter LCD
screen. If the FCM is toggled on, a current warning
timing will be shown on the combination meter LCD
screen.

How to switch the FCM warning timing

The FCM warning timing is toggled when the FCM
ON/OFF switch is pressed for less than 1.5 seconds
with the FCM activated. When the FCM is toggled,
the system will inform the driver of it by the combina-
tion meter LCD display and the buzzer.

Fail-safe and self-diagnosis functions

The ACC/FCM-ECU constantly monitors the input
and output signals. If the system detects a malfunc-
tion, it will send a failure signal to the combination
meter and prohibit the FCM control under circum-
stances. The combination meter will provide a visual
and audible warning to inform the driver of it. The
ACC/FCM-ECU has the following functions for easier
system checks.

• Diagnosis code set

• Service data output

• Freeze frame data output

All the above items can be diagnosed using
M.U.T.-III.

Radar adjustment

If the ACC/FCM-ECU is replaced or removed and
installed, adjust the radar by using the M.U.T.-III.

NOTE: For how to adjust the radar, refer to the
WORKSHOP MANUAL.
