Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: It alerts the driver to a possible forward collision.
FCW uses cameras and radar to monitor what's ahead of you. It compares your speed, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and the distance between you. If the risk of a collision is high, it warns you with a dashboard signal and a sound, like the red warning light in the image as the van ahead brakes. Braking or swerving is up to you, unless the car also has AEB.
