Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM) (if so equipped)
5-108 Features and controls

N00577700028
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle straight-ahead is imminent, the
FCM will automatically apply moderate brak-
ing to warn the driver to apply the brakes
immediately.
If the FCM judges that the collision is highly
unavoidable, it will automatically apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity of
the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-
lision.
When the FCM applies emergency braking, a
buzzer sounds and a warning message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi-
information display.
NOTE
 If the FCM detects that the driver is making
steering and/or acceleration inputs to try and
avoid a collision, the forward collision warn-
ings may stop.
FCM braking function
WARNING
 If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking
function will not operate. Refer to “Active
stability control” on page 5-90.
 If the brake pedal is not depressed within
2 seconds after your vehicle has been
stopped by the FCM, a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by the
FCM will automatically be released.
Apply the brakes as necessary to keep
your vehicle stationary.
NOTE
 When depressing the brake pedal while auto-
matic braking is applied, the brake pedal will
feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake
pedal harder to apply greater braking force.
 During the automatic braking, operating
sounds may be heard. This is normal.
WARNING
 The FCM will not activate and will not
provide either warning or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:
• When the selector lever is in a position
other than the “D” (DRIVE) or “Ds”
(DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING).
• When your vehicle speed is extremely
low, less than approximately 2 mph
(2km/h).
• When an object other than a vehicle,
such as a pedestrian, is in front.
• When the FCM has detected a problem
in the system.
• When a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of
your vehicle.
• When the vehicle in front is moving at a
speed much lower than your vehicle’s
speed.
 Braking function will not work in the fol-
lowing situations.
• Your vehicle is driving at approximately
19 mph (30 km/h) or faster while the
vehicle in front is stationary or moving
extremely slow.
•ASC is OFF.
 The forward collision warning function
and/or the FCM braking function may not
activate in certain situations. Some of
these include:
• When a vehicle cuts into your path at a
close distance.
