WARNING
Limitations of the pre-collision
■
system
The driver is solely responsible for
●
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system
instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances.
This system will not prevent colli-
sions 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 effec-
tiveness may change according to
various conditions, therefore the
system may not always be able to
achieve the same level of perfor-
mance.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system
may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision: P.320
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly: P.321
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.
Pre-collision braking
■
●
When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large
amount of braking force will be
applied.
5-5. Using the driving support systems
●
If the vehicle is stopped by the
operation of the pre-collision brak-
ing function, the pre-collision brak-
ing function operation will be
canceled after approximately 2 sec-
onds. Depress the brake pedal as
necessary.
The pre-collision braking function
●
may not operate if certain opera-
tions are performed by the driver. If
the accelerator pedal is being
depressed strongly or the steering
wheel is being turned, the system
may determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly pre-
vent the pre-collision braking
function from operating.
In some situations, while the pre-
●
collision braking function is operat-
ing, operation of the function may
be canceled if the accelerator pedal
is depressed strongly or the steer-
ing wheel is turned and the system
determines that the driver is taking
evasive action.
If the brake pedal is being
●
depressed, the system may deter-
mine that the driver is taking eva-
sive action and possibly delay the
operation timing of the pre-collision
braking function.
■
When to disable the pre-colli-
sion system
In the following situations, disable the
system, as it may not operate prop-
erly, possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury:
When the vehicle is being towed
●
When your vehicle is towing
●
another vehicle
When transporting the vehicle via
●
truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
When the vehicle is raised on a lift
●
with the hybrid system on and the
tires are allowed to rotate freely
