262 4-5. Using the driving support systems
■ 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.
WARNING
■ Limitations of the pre-collision
system
● The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system
instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances.
This system will not prevent colli-
sions or lessen collision damage or
injury in every situation. Do not
overly rely on this system. Failure to
do so may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●
Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effec-
tiveness may change according to
various conditions, therefore the
system may not always be able to
achieve the same level of perfor-
mance.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system
may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision:

P.265
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly:

P.267
● Do not attempt to test the operation
of the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for
testing (dummies, cardboard
objects imitating detectable objects,
etc.), the system may not operate
properly, possibly leading to an
accident.
■ Pre-collision braking
● When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large
amount of braking force will be
applied.
● If the vehicle is stopped by the
operation of the pre-collision brak-
ing function, the pre-collision brak-
ing function operation will be
canceled after approximately 2 sec-
onds. Depress the brake pedal as
necessary.
● The pre-collision braking function
may not operate if certain opera-
tions are performed by the driver. If
the accelerator pedal is being
depressed strongly or the steering
wheel is being turned, the system
may determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly pre-
vent the pre-collision braking
function from operating.
