Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM) (if so equipped)
5-118 Features and controls
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a
collision, the system will give audible and
visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automatically
apply moderate braking to warn you to apply
the brakes immediately.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, the system will apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity of
the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-
lision.
Stop lights are illuminated during automatic
braking.
If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation System also turns
ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicle is
equipped with the Ultrasonic misacceleration
Mitigation System.)
Before using the FCM, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitations
of this system. Failure to follow instruc-
tions could result in an accident.
The FCM is designed to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crash
speed in such collisions. It is not a substi-
tute for your safe and careful driving.
Under certain circumstances, the system
may not operate or may not detect cor-
rectly a vehicle or a pedestrian in front.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehi-
cle or a pedestrian too closely, take all nec-
essary actions to avoid a collision, such as
braking and steering, regardless of
whether the FCM is activated or not.
Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli-
sion.
Never attempt to test the operation of the
FCM. Doing so could cause an accident,
resulting in serious injury or death.
