Advanced Safety
System
Description How to adjust/ turn
system on/off
Forward Collision
Mitigation (FCM)*
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle
or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of
a collision, the system will give audible and
visual warnings, increases the brake fluid,
and also provides braking force assistance
when you depress the brake pedal to avoid
frontal collision.
When the risk of collision increases more, the
system causes the brakes to work moderately
to encourage you to apply brakes. If the
system judges that a potential collision is
imminent, it initiates emergency braking to
mitigate collision-caused damages or to avoid
possible collision.
Press and hold the FCM
button to the right of the
streering wheel to turn
the system ON/OFF.
The FCM system can also
be adjusted by pressing
the FCM button once
to cycle through the
sensitivity of the system.
Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)*
When your vehicle is likely to drift from its
lane, an audible alarm sounds and a visual
alarm is displayed on the information screen
of the multi-information display.
To turn off LDW, press the
LDW button once - The
LDW icon on the multi-
information display will
be removed. To turn the
system back on, press the
button again.
Blind Spot Warning
(with Lane Change
Assist)*
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid
system that alerts the driver when another
vehicle which may not be visible through the
outside rear-view mirror is travelling in the
next land behind your vehicle.
When a vehicle in the next lane is travelling at
same speed or faster in the detection areas,
the BSW lamp in the corresponding outside
rear-view mirror will illuminate. If the turn
signal lever is operated to the side where the
BSW lamp is illuminated, the BSW lamp will
blink and the system will beep 3 times to alert
the driver.
To turn off BSW, press the
BSW button once - The
BSW icon on the multi-
information display will
be removed. To turn the
system back on, press the
button again.
Rear Cross Traffic
Alert*
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) is an aid
system for backing up. When the RCTA system
detects vehicles approaching from the sides
while your vehicle is reversing, the Blind Spot
Warning lamps in the outside rearview mirrors
on both sides will blink and a buzzer will
sound to alert the driver.
The RCTA system will
be turned on/off when
the Blind Spot Warning
(with Lane Change Assist)
system is turned on/off.
