(Pre-Collision System) - Lexus ES 300h User Manual

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to detect
vehicles and pedestrians
mines 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 pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If
the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or
pedestrian is extremely high, the brakes are automatically 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. 208)
