4-5. Using the driving support systems
Pre-collision braking
◆
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the system warns the driver. If the system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help
avoid the collision or reduce the collision speed.
Suspension control (if equipped)
◆
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the Adaptive Variable Suspension System (P. 356) will control the damping
force of the shock absorbers to help maintain an appropriate vehicle posture.
WARNING
Limitations of the pre-collision system
■
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to
●
observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations under any
circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or
injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
Although this system is designed to help avoid a collision or help reduce the impact of
●
the collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions, therefore
the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of performance.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always
drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no possibility of a
collision: P. 242
• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P. 244
Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself.
●
Depending on the objects used for testing (dummies, cardboard objects imitating
detectable objects, etc.), the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an
accident.
