CAUTIONlFactors such as the positional relationship
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front, driver’s own technique of steering the vehi-
cle and irregularly moving traffic due to ac-
cidents or vehicle trouble may deter the
FCM control and alarm from functioning.
l When the system recognizes driver’s steer-
ing or accelerating actions as evasive actions
to avoid collision, the FCM control and alarm functions may be cancelled.
l The FCM control and alarm functions may
be triggered in the following situations.
• When there is a structure (B) beside the
entrance of a curve and intersection.
• When running on a narrow iron bridge.
• When passing through a gate with small
head or side clearances.
• When there are metallic objects, steps or
projections on the road surface.
• When quickly approaching a vehicle in
front to overtake it.
• When passing an electronic toll collection
gate.
• When running under an overpass, a pe-
destrian overpass or a small tunnel.
CAUTION• When running in Multi-storey car park.
• When the road gradiently and suddenly
changes while running.
• When stopping very close to a wall or a
vehicle in front.
• When passing close to a vehicle, pedes-
trian or object.
• When driving on the road that the vehicle
in front runs in offset position from your
vehicle.
• When passing through an area where ob-
jects may contact the vehicle, such as
thick grass, tree branches, or a banner.
• When there are patterns on the road that
may be mistaken for a vehicle or a pedes- trian.
CAUTION• When a vehicle cuts into your path in the
detecting range of the sensor.
• When an oncoming vehicle is positioned
straight ahead of your vehicle on a curvedroad.
• When passing through a plastic curtain
etc.
• When the FCM detects a long object car-
ried on your vehicle, such as skies or a roof carrier.
• When driving through fog, steam, smoke
or dust.
• When the windscreen of the sensor por-
tion is covered with dirt, water droplets,
snow and ice, etc.
l Turn off the system beforehand when the ve-
hicle is placed in any of the following situa- tions as the system can operate unexpected-
ly.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• When your vehicle’s wheels are driven by
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System on a lift.
