N00577300040
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicl
e straight ahead of your
vehicle. The FCM uses a radar sensor (A) to determine the distance to a vehicle in front and relative speed to th
at vehicle. The FCM is
not designed as an automatic driving systemor as a collision
avoidance system.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle straight ahead in your path and the FCMjudges that there is the ri
sk of a collision, the
system will give audibl
e and visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle straight-ahe
ad is imminent, the
system will automati
cally apply moderate
braking to warn you to apply the brakesimmediately. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahead is highly unavoid-able, the system will apply emergency brak- ing to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the collision.Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.
NOTE
 The conventional crui
se control does not
sound or display the approach alarm, will not adjust your vehicle sp
eed, and does not con-
trol the distance betw
een your vehicle and a
vehicle in front.

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. When this function is triggered, a buzzersounds and, at the sa
me time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the information screen of the multi-information display. The FCM will also pr
epare to provide quick
brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes.
N00577700057
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahead is imminent, the FCM will automatically apply moderate brak-ing to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately. If the FCM judges that the collision is highlyunavoidable, it will automatically apply emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision. When the FCM applies emergency braking, abuzzer sounds and a warn
ing message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi- information display.
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident. The FCM is desi
gned 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 in fr
ont. When your vehi-
cle is approaching a
vehicle too closely,
take all necessary actions to avoid a colli-sion, such as braking
and steering, regard-
less of whether the FCM is activated or not. Never rely on the FCM to prevent acollision.
Forward collision warning function

NOTE
 If the FCM detects that the driver is making steering and/or accelera
tion inputs to try and
avoid a collision, the forward collision warn- ings may stop.
FCM braking function

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Active stability control” on page 5-94.

 If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has beenstopped by the FCM, a warning buzzerwill sound and the brakes activated by the FCM will automatically be released. Apply the brakes as
necessary to keep
your vehicle stationary.NOTE
 When depressing the brake pedal while auto- matic braking is applie
d, the brake pedal will
feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply
greater braking force.
 During the automatic braking, operating sounds may be heard. This is normal. WA R N I N G The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector lever is in the “P”(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE), or the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.• When your vehicle speed is extremelylow, less than approximately 2 mph (2km/h).• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestri
an, is in front.
• When the FCM has detected a problem in the system.WA R N I N G
• When a vehicle sudden
ly cuts in front of
your vehicle.• When the vehicle in fr
ont is moving at a
speed much lower than your vehicle’s speed.
 Braking function will not work in the fol- lowing situations.• Your vehicle is driving at approximately19 mph (30 km/h) or faster while thevehicle in front is
stationary or moving
extremely slow.•ASC is OFF. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin
g function may not
activate in certain situations. Some of these include:• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle ahead is moving at lowspeed.• When a vehicle ahead is not completelyin your path.• When a vehicle ahead
is towing a trailer.
• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is in front.• When a vehicle ahead is a truck loadedwith freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.• When the height of a vehicle ahead isextremely low or its road clearance isextremely high.WA R N I N G
• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down steep slopes.• When driving on a curve.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When driving in a tunnel.• When the system recognizes driver’s steering, accelerati
ng, braking or gear
shifting actions as
evasive actions to
avoid collision.• When the rear of your vehicle is weigheddown with the weight of passengers and luggage• For up to two minute
s after starting driv-
ing.• In adverse weather conditions, such asrain, snow or fog.• When the surface of th
e sensor is covered
with dirt, snow and ice, etc.• When a vehicle ahea
d or an oncoming
vehicle is splashing wa
ter, snow or dirt.
When the system recognizes driver’s steering or accelerating
actions as evasive
actions to avoid collision, FCM controland alarm functions
may be canceled.
In certain situations,
though there is little
or no risk of a collision, the FCM may activate. Examples include: • When overtaking a vehicle.• When driving on a curve.WA R N I N G
