4-5. Using the driving support systems
PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system uses
a radar sensor and front cam-
era to detect objects (P.184)
in front of the vehicle. When
the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision
with an object is high, a warn-
ing 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 sys-
tem determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision with
an object is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be
disabled/enabled and the warn-
ing timing can be changed.

Detectable objects
The system can detect the follow-
ing (The detectable objects differs
depending on the function.):
Vehicles
Bicyclists
Pedestrians
System functions
■
Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collision is
high, a buzzer will sound and a
warning message will be displayed
on the multi-information display to
urge the driver to take evasive
action.
■
Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collision is
high, the system applies greater
braking force in relation to how
strongly the brake pedal is
depressed.
■
Pre-collision braking
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 impact of
the collision.
■
Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is
high and that there is sufficient
space for the vehicle to be steered
