2-4. Using other driving systems

PCS (Pre-Collision System)

When the radar sensor detects an unavoidable frontal collision, safety sys-

tems such as the brakes and seat belts are automatically engaged in an

attempt to lessen damage.

Pre-collision seat belts

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

collision system will retract the seat belt before the collision occurs.

The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses

control of the vehicle. (P. 59)

However, when the TRAC/VSC systems are disabled, the system will not

operate in the event of skidding.

Pre-collision brake assist

Applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
