PCS (Pre-Crash Safety)

When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the
pre-crash safety systems such as the brakes and seat belts are
automatically engaged to lessen impact as well as vehicle dam-
age.
 Pre-crash seat belts (front seat belts only)
If the pre-crash sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable,
the pre-crash safety 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. 102)
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not
operate in the event of skidding.
 Pre-crash 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-crash 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. Pre-crash braking can be disabled using the pre-crash
braking OFF switch.
