If the camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror det\

ovides you with

the vehicle ahead of you. Each time you press the
button, the distance setting cycles through short,
normal, long, and off.
To turn the systen on or off, press and hold the
button until you hear a beep.
Important Safety Reminder
FCW cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; a\
ccuracy
of the system will vary based on weather, speed, extreme interior heat, and other
factors. FCW does not include a braking function. It is always your resp\
onsibility to
safely operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.

hin your lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in\
use. LDW
may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary \
based on
weather, speed, and lane marker condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.
