When the front vehicle stops, the ACC willautomatically apply the brakes to stop yourvehicle.A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped,the ACC will release the brakes and yourvehicle will start to move or creep slowly.You must apply the brakes to keep your vehi-cle stationary.
When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle infront, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym-bol in the display will disappear and yourvehicle will slowly accelerate to the setspeed.
NOTE
If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multiinformation display to alert the driver, andthe ACC control will be canceled.When depressing the brake pedal while theautomatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress thebrake pedal harder to
apply greater braking
force.During the automatic braking, operationsounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N GNever leave the vehicle while it is beingstopped by the ACC.
WA R N I N GYour vehicle may accelerate up to the setspeed in the following situations. Applythe brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit orwhen your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.• When driving on a curve.

WA R N I N GWhen the ACC is not being used, turn offthe system to avoid
unexpected ACC acti-
vation.Never operate the AC
C from outside the
vehicle.WA R N I N G
The ACC will not decelerate your vehicleand/or give the approach alarm in the fol-lowing cases.• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestri
an, is in front.
• When a malfunction is detected in thesystem.
The ACC will not decelerate your vehiclein the following cases, but will give theapproach alarm.• When the front vehicle is stationary ormoving at an extr
emely slow speed.
• When your brake system has a problem,such as overheating.
The ACC may not be able to maintain theset speed or the dist
ance to a vehicle in
front and may not alert the driver, if thesystem cannot detect the front vehicleproperly. Typical situations include: • When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle in front is not completelyin your path.• When a vehicle in front is towing atrailer.• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is infront.• When a vehicle in fr
ont is a truck loaded

N00577300095
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicle or a pedestrianstraight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM usesa sensor (A) to determine the distance andrelative speed to a vehi
cle 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 vehicleor a pedestrian strai
ght-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of acollision, the system
will give audible and
visual warnings.When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automaticallyapply moderate braking to warn you to applythe brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, th
e 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.

If the system judges that there is a risk ofyour vehicle colliding wi
th a vehicle or the
pedestrian in front, th
is function warns you of
the potential hazard with
visual and audible
alarms.When this function is triggered, a buzzersounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE”message appears on the information screen ofthe multi-information display.The FCM will also prepare to provide quickbrake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes.The forward collision
warning function oper-
ates when the following vehicle speed:Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 mph(15 km/h) to 87 mph (140 km/h).Against a pedestrian
: Approximately 5
mph (7 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h).
WA R N I N GBefore using the FCM, read this entiresection 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 systemmay 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 avoi
d 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 theFCM. Doing so could cause an accident,resulting in seriou
s injury or death.
