Pre-Collision System
PCS (Pre-Collision System)
The pre-collision system uses sen-
sors to detect objects (P.278) in
the path of the vehicle. When the
system determines that the possi-
bility 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 possi-
bility of a collision is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the collision or
help reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.
The pre-collision system can be dis-
abled/enabled and the warning tim-
ing can be changed. (P.287)
WARNING
For safe use
■
●
Driving safely is solely the responsibil-
ity 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 effective-
ness 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.

Detectable objects
The system can detect the following as
detectable objects. (Detectable
objects differ depending on the func-
tion.)

when being ridden.
System functions
Pre-collision warning
■
When the system determines that the
possibility of a collision is high, a buzzer
will sound and an icon and warning
message will be displayed on the
multi-information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
