Limitation of the system
FCA system is an assistant system for
a
driver in a certain risky driving condi‐
tion and it does not take every respon‐
sibility for all risks from driving condi‐
tion.
FCA system monitors the driving situa‐
tions through the radar and the camera
sensor. Thus, for a situation out of the
sensing range, FCA system may not
normally operate. The driver should
pay great caution in the following sit‐
uations. FCA system operation may be
limited.

sensor is blocked with a foreign ob‐
