Front airbags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occupants are
moved backward by the force of the
impact. In this case, inflated airbags
would not provide any additional benefit.
B3003406
Front airbags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision, and
thus in side impacts, front airbag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain airbags may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
B3003407
In an angled collision, the force of impact
may direct the occupants in a direction
where the airbags would not be able to
provide any additional benefit, and thus
the sensors may not deploy any airbags.
B3003408
Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Airbags may not inflate
in this “underride” situation because
deceleration forces that are detected by
sensors may be significantly reduced by
such “underride” collisions.

WARNING • Even though the warning message or warning light does not appear on the
instrument cluster, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
properly operate.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate in an area (for
example, open terrain), where any
objects are not detected after turning
ON the vehicle.
• If the vehicle is turned off and restarted while the camera is blocked or
malfunctioned, the condition is
maintained. Therefore, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
operate properly.

Limitations of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist

not operate properly, or it may operate
unexpectedly under the following
circumstances:
• The detecting sensor or the surroundings are contaminated or
damaged

surrounding environment
• The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated windshield,
damaged glass, or sticky foreign
material (sticker, bug, etc.) on the glass

traffic is reflected on the wet road
surface, such as a puddle on the road
• An object is placed on the dashboard
• Your vehicle is being towed
• The surrounding is very bright
• The surrounding is very dark, such as in a tunnel, etc.
• The brightness changes suddenly, for example when entering or exiting a
tunnel
• The brightness outside is low, and the headlights are not on or are not bright
• Driving through steam, smoke or shadow
• Only part of the vehicle, powered two-wheeler, pedestrian or cyclist is
detected
• The vehicle or powered two-wheeler in front is a bus, heavy truck, truck with an
unusually shaped cargo, trailer, etc.

located unusually, etc.
• The brightness outside is low, and the tail lights are not on or are not bright
• The rear of the front vehicle is small or the vehicle does not look normal, such
as when the vehicle is tilted,
overturned, or the side of the vehicle is
visible, etc.
• The front vehicle’s ground clearance is low or high
• A vehicle, powered two-wheeler, pedestrian or cyclist suddenly cuts in
front
• The bumper around the front radar is impacted, damaged or the front radar is
out of position
• The temperature around the front radar is high or low

[A] Your vehicle
[B] Lane changing vehicle
[C] Same lane vehicle
When a vehicle in front of you merges
out of the lane, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
immediately detect the vehicle that is
now in front of you. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, steer your vehicle and
depress the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.• Detecting vehicle
B7000414
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, additional
special attention is required. Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist 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
necessary, steer your vehicle and
depress the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain
distance.

WARNING • When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle, turn off Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist for safety
reasons.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may operate if objects that are similar
in shape or characteristics to vehicles,
powered two-wheelers, pedestrians
and cyclists are detected.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate on bicycles, or smaller
wheeled objects, such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly if interfered
by strong electromagnetic waves.
