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 and other factors. FCW
does not include a braking function. It is always your
responsibility to safely operate the vehicle and avoid
collisions.

You can change the Forward Collision Warning
Distance setting or turn the system on and off.

For the FCW system to work properly:

Always keep the radar sensor cover clean.

Never use chemical solvents or polishing
compounds to clean the sensor cover. Instead,
clean it with water and a mild detergent.

Do not put anything on the radar sensor cover.
See a dealer if the radar sensor gets damaged or
requires repair.

The camera is shared with Lane Departure Warning
(LDW).
