By using the “RES +” switch:

NOTE
There is some time
lag until the vehicle
begins accelerating to
the new set speed after
the set speed has been changed.The set speed can be changed even whileyour vehicle is followi
ng a vehicle in front

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.
