there is a possibility of a frontal collision
with a stationary or moving pedestrian
in front of your vehicle, a message will
be displayed on the head-up display to
warn the driver.

Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning mes-
sage will be displayed on the
multi-information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.

A)
The pre-collision system uses a
front radar sensor and front camera
to detect vehicles and pedestri-
ans/bicyclists in front of your vehi-
cle and front side radar sensors to
detect vehicles approaching from
the front left or right side. When the
system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision with a
vehicle or pedestrian/bicyclist 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 deter-
mines that the possibility of a frontal
collision with a vehicle or pedes-
trian/bicyclist is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be dis-
abled/enabled and the warning tim-
ing can be changed. (
