When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, FCA may not
immediately detect the new vehicle
that is now in front of you. In this
case, you must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.
Recognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground
clearance, it may induce a haz-
ardous situation. Always pay atten-
tion to road and driving conditions,
while driving and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain distance.
Situation in which the function
may not detect pedestrian
properly.
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition function,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright.
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area.
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion function.
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sun-
light 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 from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians, or a large crowd.

WARNING
Cancel FCA in the UserSettings on the LCD display,
before towing another vehicle.
While towing, the brake appli-
cation may adversely affect
your vehicle safety.
Exercise extreme caution to the vehicle in front, when it
has heavy loading extended
rearward, or when it has high-
er ground clearance.
Never try to test the operation of FCA. Doing so may cause
severe injury or death.
FCA is designed to detect and monitor the vehicle ahead or
detect a pedestrian in the
roadway through front view
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
