Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA)*

FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian/cyclist in the roadway through front view camera recognition and front radar signals. FCA may warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and in certain situations may temporarily apply emergency braking. If FCA detects a potential collision, FCA emits an audible warning, steering wheel haptic warning, and visual alert on the Instrument Cluster .

If FCA detects that the collision risk has increased, FCA automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision.

Junction Turning - With the left turn signal on, if it detects a potential collision, Junction Turning may help to avoid the collision with an oncoming vehicle in an adjacent lane by applying emergency braking.Junction Crossing* - When approaching an intersection the Junction Crossing function* may help mitigate or avoid a collision with oncoming vehicles on the left or right side when crossing an intersection by applying emergency braking.

Direct Oncoming Vehicle function* - The Direct Oncoming Vehicle function may reduce the vehicle speed to help prevent a collision when a vehicle or powered two-wheeler is detected and approaching from the opposite direction.

**Lane-Change Oncoming vehicle function* - **Lane-Change Oncoming function may help mitigate or avoid a collision if it detects oncoming vehicles or powered two-wheelers when changing lanes by assisting the driver’s steering.

Lane-Change Side function* - Lane-Change Side function may help mitigate or avoid a collision if it detects vehicles or powered two-wheelers in the next lane when changing lanes by assisting the driver’s steering.
