uu When Driving u Forward Collision Warning (FCW) * Models with information display Camera-based system The camera is located behind the rearview mirror. 1 Automatic shutoff Models with information display Heads-up Warning Lights Flash twice. Beep The beeper sounds and the FCW indicator blinks until a possible collision is avoided. To help reduce the likelihood that high interior temperatures will cause the camera system to shut off, when parking, find a shady area or face the front of the vehicle away from the sun. If you use a reflective sun shade, do not allow it to cover the camera housing. Covering the camera can concentrate heat on the camera. 458 Driving ■ Automatic shutoff FCW may automatically shut itself off and the FCW indicator comes and stays on when: Models with information display • The temperature inside the system is high. • The windshield is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc. Models with multi-information display • You drive off-road or on a mountain road, or curved and winding road for an extended period. • You drive in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.). • The radar sensor cover is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet snow, etc. • An abnormal tire condition is detected (wrong tire size, flat tire, etc.). All models Once the conditions that caused FCW to shut off improve or are addressed (e.g., cleaning), the system comes back on. If the CAMERA HOT message appears: • Use the climate control system to cool down the interior and, if necessary, the defroster mode when windows are fogged. • Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield temperature, which cools down the area around the FCW system.
