6-2. Using the safe driving support functions
Pre-Collision System
PCS (Pre-Collision System)
The pre-collision system uses sensors to detect objects
the vehicle. When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision
with a detectable object 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 possibility of a collision is extremely
high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning timing can be changed.

WARNING
■
For safe use
●
Driving safely is solely the responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention to the
surrounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. Never use the pre-collision
system in place of normal braking operations. This system cannot help avoid or reduce
the impact of a collision in every situation. Over-reliance on this system to drive the
vehicle safely may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Although the pre-collision system is designed to help avoid or help reduce the impact
●
of a collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions. Therefore,
it may not always be able to achieve the same level of performance. Read the following
items carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always drive carefully.

differ depending on the function.)
