Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is designed to detect the
vehicle, a pedestrian or cyclist ahead (if
equipped) in the roadway through front
radar signals and front view camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if necessary,
apply emergency braking.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system:
• This system is only a supplemental
system and it is not intended to,
nor does it replace the need for
