PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)

When the sensor detects that a frontal collision is highly likely or

even unavoidable, safety systems such as the brakes and seat belts

are automatically engaged to help avoid a collision or to lessen

impact as well as vehicle damage.

Pre-crash warning

When a high possibility of a

frontal collision is detected,

the pre-crash safety system

warning light flashes, a buzzer

sounds and a message is

shown on the multi-informa-

tion display to urge the driver

to take evasive action.

Pre-crash warning can be dis-

abled using the pre-crash brak-

ing off switch.

Pre-crash seat belts (front seat only)

If the pre-crash sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the

pre-crash safety system will retract the seat belt before the colli-

sion occurs.

The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking

or loses control of the vehicle. (P. 46)

Pre-crash brake assist

When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system

applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the

brake pedal is depressed.
