Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When an obstacle is detected in front of the
vehicle, and the vehicle is stopped or travel-
ling very slowly, if the system determines that
the accelerator pedal has been depressed by
more than the necessary amount (due to
driver error), it greatly restricts engine output
and ensures that vehicle forward movement is
slower than normal in order to give the driver
additional time to brake or react.
During system operation, a buzzer will sound
several short beeps, and “"Obstacle Detected”"
will be shown on the warning area of the multi
information display. The lead vehicle indicator
will also flash.
This function only activates when the trans-
mission select lever is in the
tion.
Do not rely excessively on Pre-Collision Throttle Management. Pre-
Collision Throttle Management is not designed to help you avoid collisions
in many situations. Always check the selector lever and pedal positions as
well as the surrounding environment before starting and operating the
vehicle. Relying only on Pre-Collision Throttle Management could result in
an accident.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the vehicle
in a stopped condition.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management will not reduce acceleration under all
conditions. It is also not designed to prevent collisions.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management will operate when an obstacle is
detected in front. However, this function will not reduce acceleration in
cases where no obstacle is recognized (for example when approaching a
cliff, etc.)
