Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)

The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while 

traveling at night and detects traffic lanes. The distance in which the Forward Sensing 

Camera (FSC) can detect objects varies depending on the surrounding conditions.

WARNING

Do not modify the suspension:

If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly 

detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the system not operating normally or mistakenly 

operating, which could cause a serious accident.

CAUTION



  Do not apply accessories, stickers or film to the windshield near the Forward Sensing 

Camera (FSC).

  If the area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens is obstructed, it will cause 

the system to not operate correctly. Consequently, each system may not operate normally 

which could lead to an unexpected accident.



  Do not disassemble or modify the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).

  Disassembly or modification of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) will cause a malfunction 

or mistaken operation. Consequently, each system may not operate normally which could 

lead to an unexpected accident.
