 Factors such as the positional relationship
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front,
driver’s own technique of steering the vehi-
cle and irregularly moving traffic due to
accidents or vehicle trouble may deter the
FCM control and alarm from functioning.
CAUTION
 When the system recognizes driver’s steer-
ing or accelerating actions as evasive actions
to avoid collision, the FCM control and
alarm functions may be canceled.
 The FCM control and alarm functions may
be triggered in the following situations.
•When there is a structure (B) beside the
entrance of a curve and intersection.

ations as the system can operate unexpect-
edly.
