and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a collision, the system
will give audible and
visual warnings. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automatically apply moderate braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, th
e system will apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System also turns ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicle isequipped with the Ultr
asonic misacceleration
Mitigation System.)
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 designed
to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crashspeed 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 or a
pedestrian in front.
When your vehicle is
approaching a vehi-
cle or a pedestri
an too closely, take all nec-
essary actions to avoid
a collision, such as
braking and
steering, regardless of
whether the FCM is
activated or not.
Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli- sion. Never attempt to test the operation of the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident, resulting in seriou
s injury or death.

When a vehicle in the next lane is traveling at same speed or faster in the detection areas,the Blind Spot Warning light in the corre- sponding outside rearview
mirror will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated to theside where the Blind Spot Warning light is illuminated, the Blind
Spot Warning light will
blink and the system will beep three times toalert the driver. Depending on the speed of your vehicle, the Blind Spot Warning system will detect up to approximately 230 feet (70 m) from your vehicle.

The BSW uses 2 sensors (A) located inside the rear bumper. The detection areas are
shown as illustrated.
WA R N I N GBefore using the BSW, read this entire sec- tion to fully understand the limitations ofthis system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident.
 Never rely solely on the BSW system when changing lanes. BSW is an aid only. It isnot a substitute for your safe and carefuldriving. Always check
visually behind and
all around your vehicl
e for other vehicles.
The performance of the BSW may varydepending on driving, traffic and/or road conditions.
