Prerequisite for activation
FCA will activate when FCA is
selected on the LCD display, and
when the following prerequisites are
satisfied:
• The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is activated.
• When FCA recognizes a vehicle or
the pedestrian in front.
FCA warning message and
function control
FCA produces warning messages,
warning alarms, and emergency
braking based on the level of risk of
a frontal collision, such as when a
vehicle ahead suddenly brakes, or
when the function detects that a col-
lision with a pedestrian is imminent.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.
WARNING
FCA may not recognize every
obstacle or provide warnings
and braking in every situation,
so do not rely on FCA to stop
the vehicle in instances where
the driver sees an obstacle and
has the ability to apply the
brakes

tivate FCA by canceling the

display.
• FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the
ESC. When the ESC is can-
celed, FCA cannot be activat-
ed on the LCD display. FCA
warning light will illuminate.
