a vehicle is detected, the
vehicle ahead indicator will display green. Vehicles may
not be detected on curves,
highway exit ramps, or hills,
due to poor visibility; or if a
vehicle ahead is partially
blocked by pedestrians or
other objects. FCA will not
detect another vehicle ahead
until it is completely in the
driving lane.
{Warning
FCA does not provide a
warning to help avoid a
crash, unless it detects a
vehicle. FCA may not detect
a vehicle ahead if the FCA
sensor is blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice, or if the
windshield is damaged.
It may also not detect a
vehicle on winding or hilly
roads, or in conditions that
can limit visibility such as
fog, rain, or snow, or if the
headlamps or windshield are
not cleaned or in proper
condition. Keep the
