• Early:
When
this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is ac‐
tivated earlier than Normal. This set‐
ting maximizes the amount of dis‐
tance between the vehicle ahead, the
pedestrian or the cyclist before the
initial warning occurs.
• Normal:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is ac‐
tivated normally. This setting allows
for a nominal amount of distance be‐
tween the vehicle ahead before the
initial warning occurs.
• Late:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is ac‐
tivated later than normal. This set‐
ting reduces the amount of distance
between the vehicle ahead, the pe‐
destrian or the cyclist before the ini‐
tial warning occurs.
Select 'Late' when traffic is light and
when driving speed is slow.
If the vehicle in front puts on a burst of
speed, the driver can notice the warn‐
ing alarm is early even though the later
option is selected.
