Pre-Collision System
When a frontal collision seems likely, the system attempts to lessen
vehicle's damage. Two types of pre-collision system are available.
The brake-linked pre-collision system operates in conjunction with
the braking operation of the driver. The radar type pre-collision sys-
tem has a sensor that is used to detect an unavoidable frontal colli-
sion.

Pre-collision seat belts (front seats only)
Brake-linked pre-collision system
Based on the speed and amount of the driver's braking operation, the
system determines if emergency braking is being performed. If this
determination is made, the seat belts are immediately retracted to
increase the effectiveness of the pretensioners (P. 81). In addition,
the system also operates if the driver loses control of the vehicle.
Radar type pre-collision system
If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the
pre-collision system will retract the seat belt before the collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or
loses control of the vehicle. (P. 81)
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not oper-
ate in the event of skidding.
■
Pre-collision brake assist (radar type only)
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
depressed. The system may not warn the driver using a warning light,
warning display and buzzer when the system detects and judges brak-
ing operations.
