Pre-Collision Throttle Management - Subaru Forester 2018 Manual

Pre-Collision Throttle Management

When an obstacle is detected in front of the
vehicle, and the vehicle is stopped or traveling
very slowly, if the system determines that the
accelerator pedal has been depressed by
more than the necessary amount (due to
driver error), it greatly restricts engine output
and ensures that vehicle forward movement is
slower than normal in order to give the driver
additional time to brake or react.
During system operation, a buzzer will sound
several short beeps, and "Obstacle Detected"
will be shown on the warning screen area of
the combination meter display. The lead
vehicle indicator will also flash.
This function only activates when the trans-
mission select lever is in the
tion.
Do not rely excessively on Pre-Collision Throttle Management. Pre-
Collision Throttle Management is not designed to help you avoid
collisions in all situations. Always check the select lever and pedal
positions as well as the surrounding environment before starting and
operating
Management could result in an accident.
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the vehicle
in a stopped condition.
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management will not reduce acceleration under all
conditions. It is also not designed to prevent collisions.
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management will operate when an obstacle is
detected in front. However, this function will not reduce acceleration in
cases where no obstacle is detected (for example when approaching a
cliff, etc.)
• Do not intentionally depress the accelerator pedal excessively when there
are obstacles nearby. If the driver relies only on Pre-Collision Throttle
Management to control acceleration, collisions may occur.
