→ “Cruise control (automatic speed controlsystem)” on page 7-34CAUTIONl Cruise control (automatic vehicle speed con-
trol system) does not alert by proximity
alarm and control distance between vehicles to the vehicle in front.Forward Collision
Mitigation System (FCM)* E00635101041
The FCM uses a sensor (A) to determine thedistance to a vehicle in front in the same laneand its speed relative to your vehicle’s speed. If the system judges that your vehicle is in
danger of colliding against the vehicle almost
straight from behind, it gives you visual and
audible alarms (Forward collision warning function), increases the brake fluid pressure
(FCM brake prefill function), and also pro- vides braking force assistance when you de-press the brake pedal (FCM brake assist func-
tion) to avoid frontal collision.
When the risk of collision increases more, the
system causes the brakes to work moderately to encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-tem judges that a potential collision is immi-
nent, it initiates emergency braking to miti- gate collision-caused damages or to avoidpossible collision (FCM braking function).Stop lamps are illuminated during automatic
braking.WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-sion-caused damages or to avoid collisionsas much as possible.
The system is not intended to compensate
for driver’s loss of attention to the front during driving due to distraction or care-
lessness or supplement a drop in visibility
due to the rain and fog.
It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be ready to applythe brakes manually.
l The FCM works to avoid frontal collisions
as much as possible. However, the effect of its operation varies depending on situa-
tions and conditions, such as driving con- ditions, road conditions, and steering, ac-
celeration and braking operations, so that
the performance the function can deliver
is not always the same.
If your vehicle is in danger of collision,
take all necessary collision-evading ac- tions, such as depressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the systemis activated or not.Forward collision warning
function
E00635401031
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function warns you of the potential haz-
ard with visual and audible alarms.
