FEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
FEB system will provide the first warning to
the driver by flashing the driver assist system
forward indicator (orange)
and the vehicle
ahead detection indicator (orange), and
providing an audible warning. In addition,
the FEB system pushes the accelerator
pedal up. If the driver releases the accel-
erator pedal, then the system applies partial
braking.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the FEB
system detects that there is still the possi-
bility of a forward collision, the system will
automatically increase the braking force.
If a forward collision is imminent and the
driver does not take action, the FEB system
issues the second visual (red) and audible
warning and automatically applies harder
braking.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the FEB system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to
the vehicle ahead, as well as driving and
roadway conditions, the system may help
the driver avoid a forward collision or may

help mitigate the consequences of a collision
should one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB system will
function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
.When the steering wheel is turned as far
as necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle de-
tected ahead.
If the FEB system has stopped the vehicle,
the vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approximately 2 seconds before the brakes
are released.

To keep the system operating properly, be
sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the sensor area of the front
bumper clean.
. Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensor.
. Do not cover or attach stickers or similar
objects on the front bumper near the
sensor area. This could cause failure or
malfunction.

WARNING
.Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.
. Never leave the engine running while
the vehicle is unattended.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious accidents. .
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not
leave children, people who require the
assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
. Safe parking procedures require that
both the parking brake be applied
and the transmission placed into P
(Park). Failure to do so could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly or
roll away and result in an accident.
. Make sure the automatic transmis-
sion shift lever has been pushed as far
forward as it can go and cannot be
moved without depressing the foot
brake pedal.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into the street when parked on a sloping
drive way, it is a good practice to turn the
wheels as illustrated.
.HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:
Turn the wheels into the curb and
move the vehicle forward until the
curb side wheel gently touches the
curb.
.HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB:
Turn the wheels away from the curb
and move the vehicle back until the
curb side wheel gently touches the
curb.
.HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL,
NO CURB:
Turn the wheels toward the side of
the road so the vehicle will move away
