WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the PFCW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
• The PFCW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions. •
The radar sensor does not detect the fol-
lowing objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in
the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
• (Illustration A) The PFCW 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 cov-
ering the radar sensor.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel
– Towing a trailer
• (Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is
being towed.
• (Illustration C) When the distance to the

•(Illustration D) When driving on a steep
downhill slope or roads with sharp
curves.
• The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstruction 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.
