4-5. Using the driving support systems

PCS (Pre-Collision System)

The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and front camera

to detect vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. When

the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision

with a vehicle or pedestrian is high, a warning operates to urge

the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake pres-

sure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If the sys-

tem determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a

vehicle or pedestrian is extremely high, the brakes are automati-

cally applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the

impact of the collision.

The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning

timing can be changed. (P. 253)

◆ Pre-collision warning

When the system determines

that the possibility of a frontal

collision is high, a buzzer will

sound and a warning message

will be displayed on the multi-

information display to urge the

driver to take evasive action.

◆ Pre-collision brake assist

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

sion is high, the system applies greater braking force in relation to

how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

◆ Pre-collision braking

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

sion is high, the system warns the driver. If the system determines

that the possibility of a frontal collision is extremely high, the brakes

are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or reduce the

collision speed.

of the multi-information display.

The system is automatically enabled each time the engine switch is

turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or the

engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart

key system).

If the system is disabled, the

PCS warning light will turn on

and a message will be dis-

played on the multi-information

display.

4

■ Changing the pre-collision warning timing

The pre-collision warning timing can be changed on

(P. 98) of

the multi-information display.

The operation timing setting is retained when the engine switch is

turned off.

Middle

This is the default setting.

3

Near

The warning will begin to oper-

ate later than with the default

timing.

254

4-5. Using the driving support systems

■ Operational conditions

The pre-collision system is enabled and the system determines that the pos-

sibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high.

Each function is operational at the following speeds:

● Pre-collision warning:

• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180

km/h). (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approxi-

mately 7 and 50 mph [10 and 80 km/h].)

• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian

ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.

● Pre-collision brake assist:

• Vehicle speed is between approximately 20 and 110 mph (30 and 180

km/h). (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approxi-

mately 20 and 50 mph [30 and 80 km/h].)

• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian

ahead is approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more.

● Pre-collision braking:

• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180

km/h). (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approxi-

mately 7 and 50 mph [10 and 80 km/h].)

• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian

ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.

The system may not operate in the following situations:

● If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the

vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time

● If the shift lever is in R

● If VSC is disabled (only the pre-collision warning function will be opera-

tional)

●If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator is illuminated (only the pre-colli-

sion warning function will be operational)

■ Pedestrian detection function

The pre-collision system detects pedestri-

ans based on the size, profile, and motion

of a detected object. However, a pedes-

trian may not be detected depending on

the surrounding brightness and the

motion, posture, and angle of the

detected object, preventing the system

from operating properly. (P. 259)

4-5. Using the driving support systems
