Forward Collision Warning System Performance Tips

Several factors affect the performance of the forward collision warning system (FCWS). Some conditions may prevent the FCWS feature from detecting a vehicle in front of you.

  • The FCWS feature activates only when your vehicle speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph).

  • The FCWS feature may not detect a vehicle in front of you when the camera's view of the vehicle is obscured by rain, fog, snow, sun or headlight glare, or darkness.

  • The FCWS feature may not function properly if the camera is incorrectly aligned .

  • The FCWS feature may not detect vehicles farther away than 40 m (130 ft.) or closer than 5 m (16 ft.).

  • The FCWS feature may not function properly if the camera placement settings do not correctly indicate your vehicle height or the placement of your device in the vehicle .
