Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-

● The PFCW system can help warn the
driver before a collision occurs but will
not avoid a collision. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver when
there is a sudden braking of a second vehicle
traveling in front of the vehicle ahead in the same
lane. The PFCW system uses a radar sensor
Alo-
cated behind the lower grille of the front bumper
to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead in
the same lane.

Listed below are the system limitations for
the PFCW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The PFCW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
● The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway – Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
● (Illustration A) The PFCW system does
not function when a vehicle ahead is a
narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
● The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Snow or heavy rain
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov- ering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources. – Snow or road spray from travelling
vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel
– (Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is being towed.

●The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction of the
sensor area such as ice, snow, stickers,
etc. In these cases, the system may not
be able to warn the driver properly. Be
sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area regularly.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
