The pre-collision system is operational when
The pre-collision system is on (P. 220) and the following conditions are met:
●
Pre-collision warning:
• Vehicle speed is greater than approximately 10 mph (15 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehi-
cle running ahead of you is greater than approximately 7 mph (10 km/h).
●
Pre-collision brake assist:
• The VSC is not turned off.
• Vehicle speed is greater than approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehi-
cle running ahead of you is greater than approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).
• The brake pedal is depressed.
●
Pre-collision braking:
• The VSC is not turned off.
• Vehicle speed is greater than approximately 10 mph (15 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehi-
cle running ahead of you is greater than approximately 7 mph (10 km/h).

Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no possibility of a
collision
In any of the following situations where the frontal area of the radar sensor is
interrupted, the radar sensor may detect possibility of a frontal collision and
the system may be activated.
●
When passing by an oncoming vehicle in a curve or a turn to the right or the
left.
●
When rapidly approaching an obstacle ahead (e.g.preceding vehicle, toll
gate barrier, etc.)
●
When there is a structural object (billboard, low ceiling, fluorescent light,
etc.) above the uphill road ahead
●
When driving on a narrow road or through under a low overhead structure
(bridge, tunnel, fly-under, etc.)
●
When driving on an uneven road surface
●
When there is a metal object, bump, or protrusion on the road surface
●
When vehicle front part is raised or lowered depending on loading condi-
tions
●
When the direction of radar sensor is misaligned by strong impact applied
on an area around the radar sensor, etc.
●
When there is an obstacle (guard rail, etc.) by the roadside at the entrance
to a curve
●
When the front of your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by putting a
heavy load in the trunk etc.)
When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also
a possibility that the brakes may be applied with a force greater than normal.
