PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)

The pre-crash safety system uses the front sensor to detect

vehicles in front of your vehicle. When the system determines

that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high, a

warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and

the potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid

the collision.

If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision

with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are automatically

applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of

the collision.

The pre-crash safety system can be disabled/enabled and the warn-

ing timing can be changed. (P. 221)

◆ Pre-crash warning

When the system determines

that the possibility of a frontal

collision is high, a buzzer will

sound and the PCS activation

indicator will flash to urge the

driver to take evasive action.

◆ Pre-crash brake assist

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-

sion with a vehicle is high, the system applies greater braking force

in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

◆ Pre-crash braking

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-

sion with a vehicle is high, the system warns the driver. If the sys-

tem determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high,

the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or

reduce the collision speed.

WARNING

■ Limitations of the pre-crash safety system

●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking

care to observe your surroundings.

Do not use the pre-crash safety system instead of normal braking opera-

tions under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or

lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on

this system. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or

serious injury.

●Although this system is designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of a

collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions,

therefore the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of

performance.

Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system

and always drive carefully.

• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-

sibility of a collision: P. 223

4

• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P. 227

●Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-crash safety system your-

self, as the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an acci-

dent.

■ Pre-crash braking

●The pre-crash braking function may not operate if certain operations are

performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed

strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine

that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-crash

braking function from operating.

● In some situations, while the pre-crash braking function is operating, oper-

ation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed

strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system determines that

the driver is taking evasive action.

● A large amount of braking force is applied while the pre-crash braking

function is operating. Additionally, as the operation of the pre-crash brak-

ing function will be canceled after the vehicle has been stopped for

approximately 2 seconds if it is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash

braking function, the driver should depress the brake pedal as necessary.

● If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the

driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of

the pre-crash braking function.
