The Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicle or a pedestrian straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM uses a sensor (A) to determine the distance andrelative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in front. The FCM is not designed as an auto- matic driving system or as a collision avoid-ance system. When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your pathand 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 pedestrian straight-ahead is imminent, the system will automaticallyapply moderate braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately.
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is highly unavoidable, the system will apply emergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.
CAUTION Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for com- pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitations of 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 crash speed 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 pedestrian 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 serious injury or death.

If the system judges th
at there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or the pedestrian in front, this function warns you of the potential hazard with visual and audiblealarms. When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE”message appears on the information screen ofthe multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quick brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes. The forward collision warning function oper- ates at the following vehicle speeds:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 to 112 mph (15 to 180 km/h).  Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5 to 40 mph (7 to 65 km/h).

When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead isimminent, the FCM will automatically apply moderate braking to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately.If the FCM judges that the collision is highly unavoidable, it will automatically apply emergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision. While the FCM applies emergency braking, a buzzer sounds and “BRAKE!” message isdisplayed in the information screen of the multi-information display. Once the FCM braking has activated, the fol-lowing message will appear on the informa- tion screen of the multi-information display. The FCM braking function operates at the following vehicle speeds:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 3 to 112 mph (5 to 180 km/h).  Against a pedestrian: Approximately 3 to 40 mph (5 to 65 km/h).

FCM braking function

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Active stability control” on page 5-81. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has been stopped by the FCM, a warning buzzer will sound and the brakes activated by theFCM will automatically be released. Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary. The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warning or braking in cer-tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector lever is in the “P”(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position.• When an object other than a vehicle or apedestrian is in front.• When the FCM has detected a problemin the system.• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenlycuts in front of your vehicle.
 The FCM may or may not detect a motor- cycle, bicycle or wall depending on the sit- uation. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM braking function may not activate in certain situations. Some of these include:• When a vehicle suddenly appears just infront of your vehicle.• When a vehicle cuts into your path at aclose distance.
