Actions

When the area around a camera is covered
with dirt, moisture (fogged up, covered with
condensation, ice, etc.), or other foreign
matter

Using the wiper and A/C function, remove
the dirt and other attached matter.
(



P.347)

When the temperature around the front
camera is outside of the operational range,
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an
extremely cold environment

If the front camera is hot, such as after the
vehicle had been parked in the sun, use the
air conditioning system to decrease the tem-
perature around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle was
parked, depending on its type, the sunlight
reflected from the surface of the sunshade
may cause the temperature of the front cam-
era to become excessively high.

If the front camera is cold, such after the
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold envi-
ronment, use the air conditioning system to
increase the temperature around the front
camera.

The area in front of the front camera is
obstructed, such as when the hood is open
or a sticker is attached to the part of the
windshield in front of the front camera.

Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc. to
clear the obstruction.

262

5-4. Using the driving support systems

The system can detect the following:



Vehicles



Bicyclists



Pedestrians

Q

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.

Q

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.

Q

Pre-collision braking

If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is extremely
high, the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the collision or
reduce the impact of the collision.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)

The pre-collision system uses a
radar sensor and front camera to
detect objects (



P.262) in front of

the vehicle. When the system deter-
mines that the possibility of a frontal
collision with an object 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 an object is extremely
high, the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the collision or
help reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.

The pre-collision system can be dis-
abled/enabled and the warning tim-
ing can be changed. (

Q

Limitations of the pre-collision sys-

tem

O

The driver is solely responsible for safe

driving. Always drive safely, taking

care to observe your surroundings. Do

not use the pre-collision system

instead of normal braking operations

under any circumstances. This system

will not prevent collisions or lessen col-

lision damage or injury in every situa-

tion. Do not overly rely on this system.

Failure to do so may lead to an acci-

dent, resulting in death or serious

injury.

WARNING

O

Although this system is designed to

help avoid a collision or help reduce

the impact of the collision, its effective-

ness may change according to various

conditions, therefore the system may

not always be able to achieve the same

level of performance. Read the follow-

ing conditions carefully. Do not overly

rely on this system and always drive

carefully.

• Conditions under which the system

may operate even if there is no possi-

bility of a collision:



P.266

• Conditions under which the system

may not operate properly:



P.267

O

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, pos-

sibly leading to an accident.

Q

Pre-collision braking

O

When the pre-collision braking func-

tion is operating, a large amount of

braking force will be applied.

O

If the vehicle is stopped by the opera-

tion of the pre-collision braking func-

tion, the pre-collision braking function

operation will be canceled after

approximately 2 seconds. Depress the

brake pedal as necessary.

O

The pre-collision braking function may

not operate if certain operations are

performed by the driver. If the acceler-

ator pedal is being depressed strongly

or the steering wheel is being turned,

the system may determine that the

driver is taking evasive action and pos-

sibly prevent the pre-collision braking

function from operating.

O

In some situations, while the pre-colli-

sion braking function is operating,

operation of the function may be can-

celed if the accelerator pedal is

depressed strongly or the steering

wheel is turned and the system deter-

mines that the driver is taking evasive

action.

O

If the brake pedal is being depressed,

the system may determine that the

driver is taking evasive action and pos-

sibly delay the operation timing of the

pre-collision braking function.

Q

When to disable the pre-collision sys-

tem

In the following situations, disable the

system, as it may not operate properly,

possibly leading to an accident resulting

in death or serious injury:

O

When the vehicle is being towed

O

When your vehicle is towing another

vehicle

O

When transporting the vehicle via

truck, boat, train or similar means of

transportation

O

When the vehicle is raised on a lift with

the EV system on and the tires are

allowed to rotate freely

O

When inspecting the vehicle using a

drum tester such as a chassis

dynamometer or speedometer tester,

or when using an on vehicle wheel bal-

ancer

O

When a strong impact is applied to the

front bumper or front grille, due to an

accident or other reasons

O

If the vehicle cannot be driven in a sta-

ble manner, such as when the vehicle

has been in an accident or is malfunc-

tioning

O

When the vehicle is driven in a sporty

manner or off-road
