PCS (Pre-Collision System)

When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the pre-col-
lision systems 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. 72)
However, the system will not operate in the event of skidding when the
VSC systems are disabled.
■
Pre-collision brake assist
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
depressed.
■ Pre-collision braking
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 system
determines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automatically
applied to reduce the collision speed. The pre-collision braking function
can be turned on and off using the satellite switch.
