quences if a collision should one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel, accel-
erating or braking, the forward emergency brak-
ing system will function later or will not function.

The automatic braking will cease under the fol-
lowing conditions:

● When the steering wheel is turned as far as

necessary to avoid a collision.

● When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
● When there is no longer a vehicle detected

ahead. If the forward emergency braking
system has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle
will remain at a standstill for approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.

WARNING

The radar sensor does not detect the

following objects:

– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in

the roadway

– Oncoming vehicles

– Crossing vehicles

The radar sensor has some perfor-

mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicle’s path, the forward
emergency braking system will not
function when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over approximately 50 MPH
(80 km/h).

The radar sensor may not detect a ve-

hicle ahead in the following conditions:

– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov-

ering the radar sensor.

– Interference by other radar sources.

– Snow or road spray from travelling

vehicles.

– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g.

motorcycle).

– When driving on a steep downhill

slope or roads with sharp curves.

– When towing a trailer.

In some road or traffic conditions, the

forward emergency braking system may
unexpectedly

push

the

accelerator

pedal up or apply partial braking. When
acceleration is necessary, continue to
depress the accelerator pedal to over-
ride the system.

Braking distances increase on slippery

surfaces.

Excessive noise will interfere with the

warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

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,
for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. Be sure that you check, clean and
clear the sensor area regularly.
