FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
  • The Predictive Forward Collision Warning(PFCW) system will function when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 5 km/h (3 MPH) and above.
  • The Predictive Forward Collision Warning(PFCW) system alerts the driver by the vehicle ahead detection indicator and chime when the distance between own vehicle and a vehicle in front of the vehicle ahead becomes closer.
 
 
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The distance from the vehicle in front of the vehicle ahead and a relative speed are calculated by using the distance sensor and an distance sensor signal is transmitted to the ADAS control unit 2 via CAN communication. When judging the necessity of warning according to the received distance sensor signal, the ADAS control unit 2 transmits a meter display signal and a buzzer output signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.
 
 
OPERATION CONDITION
ADAS control unit 2 performs the control when the following conditions are satisfied.
  • PFCW system: ON
  • Vehicle speed: Approximately 5 km/h (3 MPH) and above.
  • Vehicle in front of the vehicle ahead: Detected.
note
  • ON/OFF of PFCW system is performed with the information display.
 
 
CANCEL CONDITION
The ADAS control unit 2 cancels the operation when the system is under any conditions of the operation cancellation condition.
  • When the system malfunction occurs.
  • When the distance sensor picks up interference from another radar source and making it impossible to detect a vehicle ahead.
  • When the distance sensor area of the front grill is dirty and the measurement of the distance between the vehicles becomes difficult.
