Pre-crash braking (if equipped)
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system warns
the driver using a warning light, warning display and buzzer. If the sys-
tem determines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automati-
cally applied to help avoid a collision or to reduce the collision speed.
When the vehicle is being stopped by pre-crash braking, the brake will
be engaged for a maximum of 2 seconds and then released automati-
cally. This pre-crash braking can be canceled by depressing the accel-
erator pedal or brake pedal.
Pre-crash braking can be disabled using the pre-crash braking off switch.
◆
Suspension control
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the operation of
suspension control helps prevent the front of the vehicle from dropping
when the brakes are applied suddenly.
◆
Steering gear control (VGRS) (vehicles with camera sensors)
When the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the steer-
ing gear ratio is changed to help improve the response to steering
input.
◆
Driver monitor system (if equipped)
When the system determines that there is a possibility of a collision, and
either the driver is not facing forward or the driver's eyes are closed,
pre-crash warnings are given in advance to warn the driver. If the sys-
tem determines that the conditions to operate pre-crash alert braking
have been met even when the possibility of a collision increases further,
pre-crash alert braking will operate.
Pre-crash alert braking can be disabled using the pre-crash braking off switch.
