4-5. Using the driving support systems
Pre-collision brake assist
■
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision 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 collision is high,
the system warns the driver. If the sys-
tem 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.
Suspension control
■
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the AVS (P.272) will control the
damping force of the shock absorbers
to help maintain an appropriate vehicle
posture.
Steering control (if equipped)
■
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high
and the driver is operating the steering
wheel, the LDH system (P.272) will
control the turning angle of the front
and rear wheels and effort necessary
to turn the steering wheel to help
enhance steering responsiveness.
WARNING
Limitations of the pre-collision system
■
●
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system
instead of normal braking operations
under any circumstances. This system
will not prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every situa-
tion. Do not overly rely on this system.
Failure to do so may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious
injury.
●
Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effective-
ness 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 care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system
may operate even if there is no possi-
bility of a collision: P.209
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly: P.211
Do not attempt to test the operation of
●
the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for
testing (dummies, cardboard objects
imitating detectable objects, etc.) the
system may not operate properly, pos-
sibly leading to an accident.
Pre-collision braking
■
When the pre-collision braking func-
●
tion is operating, a large amount of
braking force will be applied.
●
If the vehicle is stopped by the opera-
tion of the pre-collision braking func-
tion, the pre-collision braking function
operation will be canceled after
approximately 2seconds.Depress the
brake pedal as necessary.
