Honda Forward Collision Warning Information

Forward Collision Warning Information from Germain Honda of Ann Arbor

What is Honda Forward Collision Warning (FCW)?

Another advanced feature in the Honda Sensing™ technology is Forward Collision Warning or FCW. This system alerts a momentarily distracted driver when there is a potentially dangerous situation ahead. FCW is so impressive that it will alert the driver using both audible and visual warnings when there is potential for a collision ahead.

How Does Forward Collision Warning Work?

Forward Collision Warning uses a camera to detect vehicles traveling in front of yours. Once the system notices that the distance between the two vehicles is shortening, it automatically compares the current speeds of the vehicles to determine the possibility of a collision.

In an effort to notify the driver, FCW provides an audible beep and flashes an amber-colored “Brake” message within the vehicle’s Multi-Information Display. To reduce unnecessary warnings, the FCW system will not operate at speeds below 3 MPH.

Which Honda Vehicles Have Forward Collision Warning?

Every Honda model equipped with Honda Sensing™ benefits from the added protection of Forward Collision Warning. Working in tandem with the rest of the suite’s cutting-edge technologies, Honda vehicles continue to set the standard for safety.
