Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)* is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front view camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and if necessary, temporarily apply emergency braking.
Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to reduce speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision.
The sensitivity can be adjusted depending on customer preference in the instrument cluster settings:
- Early/Normal: Maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
- Late: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
Images are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual feature or operation.
FCA/FCW will become active under the following conditions:
- Ignition switch is ON
- Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 MPH
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Thank you for your continued support of IQS and your attention and adherence to the Perfect Delivery process.
