How It Works

At 10 mph or higher, if the radar sensor in the front grille detects a vehicle in front of
you and the system determines a collision is likely, the system warns you with the
following visual and audible alerts:

FCW may not activate under certain conditions. See your Owner’s Manual for more information.

Short

Normal

Long

When the FCW distance is set to Short:
• the heads-up light near the windshield flashes continuously
• BRAKE flashes continuously
• a beep sounds continuously
until you take preventive action.

When the FCW distance is set to Normal or Long:
• The heads-up light near the windshield flashes twice.
• If you do not take action to prevent a collision and the distance to the other

vehicle becomes sufficiently close, BRAKE flashes on the MID, the heads-up
light flashes, and a beep sounds continuously until you take preventive action.

You can also change vehicle settings using the
multi-information display (see page 6).
