Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system (if so equipped)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system will warn the driver by a warning light and chime when your vehicle is getting close to the vehicle ahead in the traveling lane.
The FCW system will function when your vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 10 MPH (15 km/h) and above.
The FCW system uses the distance sensor A located behind the front bumper to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead. When the system judges that your vehicle is getting close to the vehicle ahead in the travel lane, the vehicle ahead detection indicator light on the instrument panel blinks and a warning chime sounds.
TheFCWsystem will be turned on/off by pushing the warning systems switch. The warning systems ON indicator light 1 on the switch will illuminate when the system is off.
