PRECAUTIONS ON FCW SYSTEM
WARNING
●
The FCW system is intended to warn
you before a collision but will not avoid
a collision. It is the driver’s responsibil-
ity to stay alert, drive safely and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
●
As there is a performance limit, the sys-
tem may not provide a warning in cer-
tain conditions.
●
The system will not detect the following
objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in
the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
●
The system will not detect another ve-
hicle under the following conditions:
– When the sensor gets dirty and it is
impossible to detect the distance
from the vehicle ahead.
– When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted
●
The sensor generally detects the sig-
nals returned from the reflectors on a
vehicle ahead. Therefore, the system
may not function properly under the fol-
lowing conditions:
– When the sensor area of the front
bumper gets dirty or it is impossible
to detect the distance from the ve-
hicle ahead.
– When visibility is low (such as rain,
fog, snow, etc.).
– When snow or road spray from trav-
eling vehicles is splashed.
