When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and
a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, FCA system
may not immediately detect the new
vehicle that is now in front of you. In
this case, you must maintain a safe
braking distance, and if necessary, de‐
press the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.

Rec
ognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground
clearance, it may induce a hazardous
situation. Always pay attention to
road and driving conditions, while
driving and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.
Detecting pedestrians or cyclists
The sensor may be limited when:
• The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully
detected by the camera recognition
system, for example, if the pedes‐
trian is leaning over or is not fully
walking upright
• The
pedestrian or cyclist is moving
very quickly or appears abruptly in
the front view camera detection area
• The pedestrian or cyclist is wearing
clothing that easily blends into the
background, making it difficult to be
detected by the front view camera
recognition system
• The outside lighting is too bright (e.g.
when driving in bright sunlight or in
sun glare) or too dark (e.g. when driv‐
ing on a dark rural road at night)
• It is difficult to detect and distinguish
the pedestrian or cyclist from other
objects in the surroundings, for ex‐
ample, when there is a group of pe‐
destrians, cyclists or a large crowd
• There is an item similar in shape or
appearance to a person
• The pedestrian or cyclist is below the
sensor's viewing range
• The sensor can not identify the pe‐
destrian's outline because of other
items changing their profile, such as
mobility assistance devices
• The front view camera or front radar
is obstructed by a foreign object or
debris
