When the FCWS is not working
properly, the warning message will
come on for a few second. After the
message disappears, the master
warning light will illuminate.
Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision Warning
System may have limits to its ability
to detect distance to the vehicle
ahead due to road and traffic condi-
tions.
The FCW cannot detect objects,
when:
- The camera lens is covered withdirt.
- There is heavy rain or heavy snow.
- Driving in a curve.
- Driving uphill or downhill.
- An object ahead is very narrow such as motorcycles or bicycles.
- A vehicle suddenly enters your lane.
- The front vehicle suddenly departs from the lane or it is hidden by other
objects.
- A vehicle passes by at a higher rate of speed.
The Forward Collision Warning
System is a supplemental sys-
tem to assist you and its
effects may differ according to
road and driving conditions.
Do not solely rely on the sys-
tem and always pay attention
to prevent dangerous situa-
tions from occurring.
FCWS is a warning system and
does not apply the brakes
automatically in a near crash
situation. FCWS may not pro-
vide a warning with enough
time to help avoid a crash.
FCWS does not detect pedes-
trians, animals, signs, con-
struction or other objects. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to pay attention to the roadway
to prevent collisions.

The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides an indication to
the driver if it detects an object
approaching from these areas. (1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The warning range depends on
your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is much faster than
the other vehicle, the system will
not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) If the system detects a vehicle
approaching you at high speed,
the system will warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) If the radar detects an approach-
ing vehicle from the left and right
side as your vehicle moves rear-
ward, the system will warn you.
