PCS (Pre-Collision System)

The pre-collision system uses a
radar sensor and camera sensor to
detect vehicles and pedestrians in
front of your vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines 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 possi-
bility 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 colli-
sion.
The pre-collision system can be dis-
abled/enabled and the warning tim-
ing can be changed. (P.186)
System functions

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 Adaptive Variable Suspension Sys-
tem (P.227) will control the damping
force of the shock absorbers to help
maintain an appropriate vehicle pos-
ture.
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.227) will
control the turning angle of the front
