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.
