The FCM braking function operates at the
following vehicle speed:
l
Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h to 80 km/h
l
Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h to 65 km/h
CAUTION
l
Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l
After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.
l
When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel
firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.

In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.

When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenly
cuts in front of your vehicle.
