The I-FCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle
ahead in the same lane.
The I-FCW system uses a radar sensor
A
located on the front of the vehicle to mea-
sure the distance to the vehicle ahead in
the same lane.

I-FCW SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-FCW system operates at speeds
above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
If there is a potential risk of a forward colli-
sion, the I-FCW system will warn the driver
by blinking the vehicle ahead detection in-
dicator in the vehicle information display (if
so equipped), and sounding an audible
alert.

TURNING THE I-FCW SYSTEM
ON/OFF
Perform the following steps to turn the
I-FCW system ON or OFF.
For vehicles equipped with the vehicle
information display (if so equipped):1. Press the
button until “Settings”
displays in the vehicle information dis-
play. Use the

“Driver Assistance.” Then press the OK
button.
2. Select “Emergency Brake” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Front” and press the OK button to turn the system on or off.
For vehicles equipped with the AEB with
Pedestrian Detection OFF switch (if so
equipped):
1. The I-FCW system is automatically en- abled.
2. Push the AEB with Pedestrian Detec- tion OFF switch once to disable the
I-FCW system.
When the I-FCW system is turned off, the
AEB with Pedestrian Detection system
warning light illuminates. NOTE:
∙ The I-FCW system will be automati-
cally turned on when the engine is
restarted.
∙ The I-FCW system is integrated into
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system. There is not a separate selec-
tion in the vehicle information display
for the I-FCW system. When the AEB
with Pedestrian Detection is turned
off, the I-FCW system is also turned
off.

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the I-FCW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The I-FCW system cannot detect allvehicles under all conditions.
∙ The radar sensor does not detect the following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway – Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
∙ (Illustration A) The I-FCW system does not function when a vehicle ahead is a
narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
∙ The radar sensor may not detect a ve- hicle ahead in the following
conditions:
– Snow or heavy rain
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering the radar sensor. – Interference by other radar
sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel
– (Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is being towed.
– (Illustration C) When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close,
the beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.

– (Illustration D) When driving on asteep downhill slope or roads with
sharp curves.
∙ The system is designed to automati- cally check the sensor’s functionality,
within certain limitations. The system
may not detect some forms of ob-
struction of the sensor area such as
ice, snow, stickers, etc. In these cases,
the system may not be able to warn
the driver properly. Be sure that you
check, clean and clear the sensor area
regularly.
∙ Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
