PFCW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
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 fol- lowing 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 vehicle 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.

– (Illustration C) When the distance tothe vehicle ahead is too close, the
beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.
– (Illustration D) When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.
∙ 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
