WARNING
■ For safe use Driving safely is solely the responsibility of the driver. Pay careful
attention to the surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. The FCTA system is a
supplementary system that informs the driver of vehicles approaching from the left and
right of the front of the vehicle. Over-reliance on this system may
lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury. The details of the warning display may
differ from the actual traffic conditions. Although the warning display will stop being displayed after
a certain amount of time, this does not necessarily indicate that there are no longer any vehicles or pedestrians around your vehicle.
