Driving your vehicle
Limitation of the system
The FCA is an assistant system for a
driver in a certain risky driving condi-
tion and it does not take every
responsibility for all risks from driving
condition.
The FCA monitors the driving situa-
tions through the radar and the cam-
era sensor. Thus, for a situation out
of the sensing range, the FCA may
not normally operate. The driver
should pay great caution in the fol-
lowing situations. The FCA operation
may be limited.
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar or the camera is con-
taminated with foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows.
- There is interruption by electric
waves.
- There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar.
- The vehicle in front has a narrow
body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The driver’s view is unclear due to
the backlight, the reflected light, or
darkness.
- The camera cannot contain the full
image of the vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front is a special
vehicle, such as a heavily-loaded
truck or a trailer.
- The outside brightness is greatly
changed, such as entering/exiting
the tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recogni-
tion is limited.
(Continued)
• The FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid risk of
collision.
• The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse. In these cases, you
must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis
tance.
• The regular braking function
will operate normally even if
There is a problem with the
FCA brake control system or
other functions. In this case,
the braking control will not
operate in the risk of a colli-
sion.
• The FCA system may not acti-
vate according to driving con-
dition, traffic on the road,
weather, road condition, etc.
• The FCA system may not acti-
vate to all types of vehicles.
