FORWARD OBSTRUCTION WARNING (FOW)
The Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) system alerts the
driver of a possible collision using an indicator in the active
driving display and instrument cluster along with a warning
sound. The system operates when driving at 10 mph (15 km/h)
or faster and the system’s radar sensor determines that your
vehicle may hit a vehicle or obstruction ahead.
CAUTION: Do not rely completely on the MRCC system and always
drive carefully obeying the speed limit.
NOTE: The MRCC sometimes will brake your vehicle when passing a semi truck (tractor
trailer). This is normal. Simply press the accelerator pedal to override the system.
NOTE: FOW can be turned off using the DSC OFF button.
WARNING: FOW is only a supplementary system designed to reduce damage in
the event of a collision. The FOW has limitations and does not detect all objects. Do not
rely solely on the FOW. Relying solely on the FOW may cause an unexpected accident
resulting in death or serious injury. Always keep your eyes on the road.

Smart City Brake Support
SMART CITY BRAKE SUPPORT (SCBS) SYSTEM
(if equipped)
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (SCBS)
when the system’s laser sensor detects a vehicle ahead:
• When your vehicle speed is 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
•
The
system determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable.
•
It m
ay be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than 9.3 mph (15 km/h).
•
Wh
en the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in
the operation range at about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h), the brakes are
applied firmly and quickly to assist. (SCBS Automatic Brake is displayed
in the Multi-information Display)
•
SC
BS automatic brake is released approximately 2 seconds after the
vehicle comes to a stop.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
SCBS system can be turned
off using DSC Off button.
