Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA)*

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is designed to detect a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist ahead on the road and can warn the driver of a possible collision with a warning message on the Instrument Cluster  and a warning sound. Also, FCA can assist with braking your vehicle to help reduce collision speed or avoid a collision.  

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