DRIVING

Forward Collision Warning ( FCW)*

If the camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror detects a
vehicle in front of you when your vehicle speed is 10 mph (15 km/h) or higher—and it
determines there is a likelihood of a frontal collision—the system provides you with
visual and audible warnings.

If you do not brake in time or take preventive
action, BRAKE appears in the display and a
beep sounds continuously.

Changing Settings

Determine the alert timing or turn the system off using Customize Settings menu in
the Vehicle Menu in the i-MID. Use the steering wheel controls to make and enter
selections (

see page 38

).

1. Press the MENU button on the steering wheel.

2. Select Customize Settings.

3. Select Driving Support System Setup.

4. Select Forward Collision Warning Distance.

5. Select Long, Normal, Short, or Off.

6. Press MENU to exit the menu.

Important Safety Reminder

FCW cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; accuracy
of the system will vary based on weather, speed, extreme interior heat, and other
factors. FCW does not include a braking function. It is always your responsibility to
safely operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.

Beep

Lane Departure Warning ( LDW)*

A camera mounted between the windshield and the rearview mirror determines if
your vehicle begins to move away from the center of a detected lane while driving
between 40–90 mph (64–145 km/h).

If you cross a detected lane line without
using your turn signal, a LANE DEPARTURE
message appears on the display and a
beep sounds.

Turning LDW On or Off

Press LDW to turn the system on or off. A green
indicator light appears on the button when the
system is on.

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations. Over-reliance on LDW may result
in a collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the vehicle within your lane.

LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in use. LDW
may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary based on
weather, speed, and lane marker condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.
