Limitations of the system
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is designed to monitor the
vehicle ahead or a pedestrian or
cyclist in the roadway through front
view camera and radar signals recog-
nition to warn the driver that a colli-
sion is imminent, and if necessary,
apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the front view
camera or the front radar sensor may
not be able to detect the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist ahead. In these
cases, FCA system may not operate
normally. The driver must pay careful
attention in the following situations
where the FCA operation may be lim-
ited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The system may not operate for 15
seconds after the vehicle is started
or the front view camera is initial-
ized
The front view camera or front
radar sensor is covered with a for-
eign object or debris
The front view camera lens is con-
taminated due to tinted, filmed or
coated windshield, damaged
glass, or stuck of foreign matter
(sticker, bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the front view camera or
front radar sensor
There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection
from the front radar sensor
The front view camera/front radar
sensor recognition is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle etc.) (Continued)
FCA system does not detect
vehicles in the opposite lane.
FCA system does not detect
cross traffic vehicles that are
approaching.
FCA system cannot detect
vehicles that are stopped ver-
tically to your vehicle at a
intersection or dead end
street.
FCA system cannot detect the
cross traffic cyclist that are
approaching.
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance or to stop the
vehicle.

Driving your vehicle
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the front view cam-
era recognition system (for exam-
ple a tractor trailer, etc.)
The front view camera's field of
view is not well illuminated (either
too dark or too much reflection or
too much backlight that obscures
the field of view)
The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually
The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
Light coming from a street light or
an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle in the road
The field of view in front is obstruct-
ed by sun glare or head light of
oncoming vehicle
The windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed The vehicle in front is driving errati-
cally
The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes
The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle drives inside a building,
such as a basement parking lot
The front view camera does not
recognize the entire vehicle in front
The front view camera is damaged
The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel
The shadow is on the road by a
median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll-
gate
The windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed The rear part of the vehicle in front
is not normally visible. (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.)
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The vehicle in front is moving verti-
cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver-
tically
The vehicle in front is driving
towards your vehicle or reversing
You are on a roundabout and the
vehicle in front circles

Driving on a curve
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
The front view camera or front
radar sensor recognition system
may not detect the vehicle, pedes-
trian or cyclist traveling in front on
a curved road.
This may result in no alarm and
braking when necessary.Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may recognize a vehicle or
pedestrian or cyclist in the next lane
or outside the lane when driving on a
curved road.
If this occurs, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, while driving.

Driving your vehicle
Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
may be decreased while driving
upward or downward on a slope.
The front view camera or front
radar sensor recognition may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist in front.
This may result in unnecessary
alarm and braking or no alarm and
braking when necessary.
When the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist in front while passing over a
slope, you may experience sharp
deceleration.Always keep your eyes forward
while driving upward or downward
on a slope, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
immediately detect the vehicle,
especially if the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, 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 vehicle in front of you merges
out of the lane, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
immediately detect the new vehicle
that is now in front of you. In this case,
you must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance. Detecting the vehicle in front of you
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, additional special atten-
tion is required. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
be able to detect the cargo extend-
ing from the vehicle. In these
instances, you must maintain a
safe braking distance from the
rearmost object, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
Detecting pedestrians or
cyclists
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully
detected by the front view camera
recognition system, for example, if
the pedestrian is leaning over or is
not fully walking upright
The pedestrian or cyclist is moving
very quickly or appears abruptly in
the front view camera detection
area
The pedestrian or cyclist is wear-
ing clothing that easily blends into
the background, making it difficult
to be detected by the front view
camera recognition system
The outside lighting is too bright
(e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)
It is difficult to detect and distin-
guish the pedestrian or cyclist from
other objects in the surroundings,
for example, when there is a group
of pedestrians, cyclists or a large
crowd

recognition is in a marginal state.Use extreme caution when 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.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system may operate
when an object, which has
similar shape or characteris-
tic to a vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist, is detected.
FCA system is designed to
detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian
or cyclist (if equipped) in the
roadway through radar sig-
nals and camera recognition.
It is not designed to detect
bicycles, motorcycles, or
smaller wheeled objects such
as luggage bags, shopping
carts, or strollers.

System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning system
uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er when it detects an approaching
vehicle in the driver's blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is traveling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur.2) Closing at high speed
BCW system will alert you when it
detects a vehicle is approaching in
an adjacent lane at a high rate of
speed. If the driver activates the turn
signal when the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.
