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: Maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs

• Normal/Standard: This setting allows for a nominal 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

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 Customer Focused Delivery process.
