judges that there is the risk of a collision, the
system will give audible and visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle straight-ahead is imminent, the
system will automatically apply moderate
braking to warn you to apply the brakes
immediately.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle straight-ahead is highly unavoid-
able, the system will apply emergency brak-
ing to reduce the severity of the collision and,
if possible, to avoid the collision.
Stop lights are illuminated during automatic
braking.

If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function warns you of the potential haz-
ard with visual and audible alarms.
When this function is triggered, a buzzer
sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the information screen of
the multi-information display.
The FCM will also prepare to provide quick
brake response and greater brake force when
you apply the brakes.

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-
WARNING
 Before using the FCM, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitations
of this system. Failure to follow instruc-
tions could result in an accident.
 The FCM is designed to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crash
speed in such collisions. It is not a substi-
tute for your safe and careful driving.
Under certain circumstances, the system
may not operate or may not detect cor-
rectly a vehicle in front. When your vehi-
cle is approaching a vehicle too closely,
take all necessary actions to avoid a colli-
sion, such as braking and steering, regard-
less of whether the FCM is activated or
not. Never rely on the FCM to prevent a
collision.

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.
