In such cases, the system may: ◇ Issue warnings or brake unnecessarily. ◇ Fail to issue warnings or brake when necessary.

WARNING

◆ The forward collision mitigation assist system (FCMS) is merely a driving assistance feature that can enhance your driving safety but cannot defy the laws of physics. Do not use the convenience provided by the FCMS system to engage in risky driving. Drivers must always drive cautiously, be prepared to apply the brakes, reduce speed, or avoid obstacles. ◆ T he FCMS system only triggers warnings and collision mitigation for vehicles, pedestrians, and two- wheelers detected by the radar sensors and cameras, meaning it may not react or may have a delayed reaction. Do not wait for the FCMS system to alert you or intervene with braking; drivers must apply the brakes proactively when necessary. You always bear the ultimate responsibility for safe driving and must comply with current traffic laws and regulations.

◆ T he FCMS system provides warnings and limited braking to help reduce collision injuries but cannot entirely prevent accidents or injuries.

WARNING (Cont'd)

Drivers must maintain control of the vehicle at all times, drive cautiously, and take full responsibility for their driving behavior. ◆ The FCMS system's detection capabilities cannot replace the driver's attention and judgment. ◆ Although the FCMS system is designed to help drivers avoid collisions or mitigate collision injuries, the system's effectiveness may vary depending on road conditions and driving behavior. Therefore, the system may not always perform at the same level; do not overly rely on this system and always drive cautiously. ◆ Do not attempt to test the FCMS system's functionality yourself. The system may not operate correctly depending on the characteristics of the detected objects (e.g., fake vehicles, fake pedestrians, or simulated detectable objects like cardboard cutouts) and the surrounding ambient light, leading to unnecessary accidents. ◆ In certain situations, if the FCMS system is triggered (either warning or active braking), forcefully pressing the accelerator pedal or turning the steering wheel will signal to the system that the driver is taking evasive action, potentially canceling the system's intervention. ◆ Avoid using the system under the following conditions, as it may not function properly and could result in unnecessary accidents or injuries:

When towing a vehicle.

When the vehicle is being towed.

When the vehicle is on a dynamometer, such as during vehicle inspections.

WARNING (Cont'd)

When tires are improperly inflated or excessively worn. When tire chains are installed.

◆ If the ESC is manually turned off, the front collision mtigation assist system will also be disabled.

CAUTION

◆ If the FCMS system malfunctions (e.g., repeatedly triggers incorrectly), please disable the system and promptly visit a GAC Service Center for inspection and repair.

NOTE

◆ Pressing

the accelerator pedal or turning the steering wheel will terminate the forward collision mitigation assist system's alert.

NOTE (Cont'd)

◆ T he FCMS system operates within

a speed range of 8 km/h to 130 km/h. For pedestrians and two-wheelers, the FCMS system functions between 10 km/h and 80 km/h; for vehicles, the system operates between 10 km/h and 130 km/h. For pedestrians and two- wheelers, the active braking feature performs reliably between 10 km/h and 65 km/h; for vehicles, it performs reliably between 10 km/h and 80 km/h. Between 80 km/h and 130 km/h, the FCMS system may not prevent a collision but can provide a collision warning. (State 1)

◆ T he FCMS system operates within

a speed range of 8 km/h to 150 km/h. For pedestrians and two-wheelers, the FCMS system functions between 10 km/h and 80 km/h; for vehicles, the system operates between 10 km/h and 150 km/h. For pedestrians and two- wheelers, the active braking feature performs reliably between 10 km/h and 65 km/h; for vehicles, it performs reliably between 10 km/h and 80 km/h. Between 80 km/h and 150 km/h, the FCMS system may not prevent a collision but can provide a collision warning. (State 2)
