Precautions For Forward Collision Warning

The forward collision warning system is designed to warn the driver before a collision but will not avoid a collision. It is the driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
The distance sensor does not detect the following objects:
- Pedestrians, animals, or obstacles in the roadway.
- Oncoming vehicles.
- Crossing vehicles.
The forward collision warning system does not function when a vehicle ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
The distance sensor may not detect a vehicle ahead in the following conditions:
- Snow or heavy rain.
- Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering the distance sensor.
- Contamination or foreign materials on distance sensor area of the front bumper.
- The distance sensor area of the front bumper is temporarily fogged.
- Interference by other radar sources.
- Snow or road spray from traveling vehicles is splashed.
- Driving in a tunnel
When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close, the beam of the distance sensor is obstructed.
The distance sensor may not detect a second vehicle when driving on a steep downhill slope or on roads with sharp curves.
Excessive noise will interfere with the warning tone sound, and it may not be heard.
