FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST 2 (FCA2)*

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 is designed to detect a vehicle, a powered two-wheeler, a pedestrian, or a cyclist ahead on the road and, in certain scenarios, may warn the driver of a possible collision with a warning message on the Instrument Cluster and a warning sound.

FCA may also assist with braking the vehicle to potentially reduce the effects of a collision. When the system detects a potential collision it initially emits an audible warning and visual alert on the Instrument Cluster . If FCA detects that the collision risk has increased, it may automatically apply the brakes.

Junction Turning function may help avoid a collision if an oncoming vehicle is detected in an adjacent lane when turning left at a crossroad with the turn signal on by applying emergency braking.

Junction Crossing function may help avoid a collision if oncoming vehicles are detected on the left or right side when crossing an intersection by applying emergency braking.

Direct Oncoming Response function may reduce the vehicle speed and temporarily apply braking when FCA detects a vehicle is approaching directly in front.

FCA 2 Functions Continued

Lane-Change Oncoming function may help avoid a possible collision if an oncoming vehicle is detected when changing lanes by assisting the driver’s steering.

Lane-Change Side function may help avoid a possible collision if a vehicle is detected ahead in the next lane when changing lanes by assisting the driver’s steering.

Evasive Steering Assist function may help avoid a possible collision if a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is detected ahead in the same lane. When a risk of collision is detected, Evasive Steering Assist function will warn the driver and if the driver steers to avoid collision it may assist the driver’s steering. If FCA detects a risk of collision with a pedestrian or cyclist, it may warn the driver and potentially assist the driver’s steering.

Quick Tips:

  • To adjust the WARNING VOLUME: Press the SETUP button to go to VEHICLE SETTINGS on the Infotainment System. Press VEHICLE, DRIVER ASSISTANCE, and under WARNING METHODS, you can adjust WARNING VOLUME, and turn HAPTIC WARNING and DRIVER SAFETY PRIORITY on or off 
  • Adjusting the Warning Methods or Volume will adjust settings for other driver assistance systems 

Reminders:

  • Once the risk factors are not detected, these functions will deactivate
  • Some driver assistance systems use a Haptic Warning, which alerts the driver by gently pulsing the steering wheel when certain conditions are detected
