Safety features of your vehicle
In an angled collision, the force ofimpact may direct the occupants in
a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags. Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
“under-ride” situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Front air bags may not inflate in all
rollover accidents where the
SRSCM indicates that the front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.

Buzzer sounds continuously.
Non-operational conditions of
parking distance warning-
reverse
The parking distance warning-
reverse may not operate properly
when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally once the
moisture clears.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within range of the sensor.
5. Rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is covered with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
sound absorbent material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.

Limitation of the system
The FCA system is designed to mon-
itor the vehicle ahead through the
camera recognition to warn the driv-
er that a collision is imminent, and if
necessary, apply emergency brak-
ing. In certain situations, the camera
may not be able to detect the vehicle
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate. The driver must
pay careful attention in the following
situations where the FCA operation
may be limited:
Recognizing vehicles
- The camera is contaminated with
foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows.
- There is electromagnetic interfer- ence
- The vehicle in front has a narrow body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The driver’s view is not clear due to backlight, reflected light, or dark-
ness.
- The camera cannot contain the full image of the vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front is a special vehicle, such as a heavily-loaded
truck or a trailer.
- The outside brightness is greatly changed, such as entering/exiting
a tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The camera sensor recognition is limited.
- The driver's field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)(Continued)
The regular braking functionwill operate normally even if
There is a problem with the
FCA brake control system or
other functions. In this case,
the braking control will not
operate in the risk of a colli-
sion.
The FCA system may not acti- vate according to driving con-
dition, traffic on the road,
weather, road condition, etc.
The FCA system may not acti- vate to all types of vehicles.

Driving your vehicle
- The vehicle in front is driving errat-ically
- Backlight is reflected in the direc- tion of the vehicle (including front
light from the vehicle ahead)
- Moisture on the windscreen is not completely removed or frozen.
- The weather is misty.
- The vehicle in front does not turn ON the rear lights, does not have
rear lights, has asymmetric rear
lights, or has rear lights out of
angle.
- The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or roads
with sudden gradient changes
- The vehicle is moving under ground level or inside a building
- If a sudden change in the sensor recognition takes place whilst
passing through a speed bump,
- When the vehicle is severely shak- en,
- When driving around a circular intersection with a vehicle or object
in front - If the front of the camera lens is
contaminated by front glass tinting,
film, water repellent coating, dam-
age on glass, or foreign matter
(sticker, insect, etc.)
- The camera or camera lens is damaged.
- If the headlights of the vehicle are not used at night or in a tunnel sec-
tion, or the light is too weak
- If street light or the light of the vehi- cle coming from the opposite direc-
tion reflected or when sunlight
direction reflected by water on the
road surface
- When the back light is projected in the direction of the vehicle's motion
(including the headlights of vehi-
cles)
- Road sign, shadow on the road, tunnel entrance, toll gate, partial
pavement
- If the windshield has moisture on its surface or if windshield freezes,
- Driving in the fog.
- When objects are out of the sens- ing range of the camera - Driving on a curve
The FCA performance may be limit-
ed while driving on a curve. The FCA
may not recognize the vehicle in front
even if in the same lane. IIt may pro-
duce the warning message and the
warning alarm prematurely, or it may
not produce the warning message or
the warning alarm at all. When driv-
ing on a curve, exercise caution,
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain a safe distance.

When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance. - Recognizing the vehicle
If the vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the cab,
or when the vehicle in front of you
has higher ground clearance, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The FCA system may not be able to
recognize the cargo extending from
the vehicle. In these instances, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance from the rearmost object, and
if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving
Recognizing pedestrians
- The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera sensor, or the
pedestrian does not walk in the
upright position.
- The pedestrian moves very fast.
- The pedestrian abruptly appears in front.
- The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected.
- The outside is too bright or too dark.
- The vehicle drives at night or in the darkness.
- There is an item similar to a per- son’s body structure.
- The pedestrian is small.
- The pedestrian has impaired mobility.
