Driving your vehicle
The vehicle in front is an oversizevehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.).
The 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.
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road.
The field of view in front is obstructed 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 erratically. 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 build- ing, such as a basement parking
lot.
The camera does not recognize the entire vehicle in front.
The 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.
A shadow is on the road by a medi- an strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll- gate.
The rear part of the vehicle in front is not normally visible. (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.).
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 FCA system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
On curved roads, the other vehicle
on the same lane is not recognized
and FCA system's performance may
be degraded. This may result in
unnecessary alarm or braking or no
alarm or braking when necessary.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
traveling on a curved road. In these cases, the driver must main-
tain 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 on a curve the driver
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.
FCA system may recognize a vehicle
in the next lane when driving on a
curved road.
In this situation, the system may
unnecessarily alarm the driver and
apply the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, while driving. If
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of FCA
system.

Driving your vehicle
- Driving on a slope
The performance of FCA system
decreases while driving upward or
downward on a slope, not recogniz-
ing the vehicle in front in the same
lane.
It may unnecessarily produce the
warning message and the warning
alarm, or it may not produce the
warning message and the warning
alarm at all.
When FCA system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front while pass-
ing 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, FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this situation, you must
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, FCA system
may not immediately detect the new
vehicle that is now in front of you. In
this situation, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance. - 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, addi-
tional special attention is required.
FCA system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
Recognizing pedestrians or
cyclists
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully
detected by the camera recogni-
tion 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 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 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

WARNING
Forward Collision-AvoidanceAssist (FCA) system system
when towing a vehicle.
Application of FCA system
while towing may adversely
affect the safety of your vehi-
cle or the towing vehicle.
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.
FCA system is designed to detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian or
cyclist in the roadway through
radar signals and camera
recognition. It is not designed
to detect bicycles, motorcy-
cles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.

The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist-Lane-Change Oncoming func-
tion detects the oncoming vehicle
with a front view camera at the front
wihdshield. And it assists the driver’s
steering to help avoid a collision with
oncoming vehicles and with keeping
the vehicle in the lanes when the
vehicle drives over the centerline.Function operation
Driver can activate(or deactivate) the
function from the AVN:
“AVN → Setup →Vehicle →Driver
Assistance →Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)” For further
details, refer to [System setting] in

Warning message and func-
tion control
After FCA system is on, vehicle speed is over 60 kph (37 mph) and
if the vehicle across the centerline
even though the oncoming vehicle
approaching, this warning mes-
sage appears on the LCD display
with audible warning.
Additionally, FCA provides steering assist to return the vehicle back
into lanes.
