The system can detect the following
(The detectable objects differs
depending on the function.):
Vehicles
Bicyclists
Pedestrians
■
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.
■
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 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.
■
Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is high and
that there is sufficient space for the
vehicle to be steered into within its
lane, and the driver has begun evasive
maneuver or steering, emergency
steering assist will assist the steering
movements to help enhance the vehi-
cle stability and for lane departure pre-
vention. During operation, the
indicator will illuminate in green.
PCS (Pre-Collision System)
The pre-collision system uses a
radar sensor and front camera to
detect objects (
the vehicle. When the system
determines 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 fron-
tal collision with an object 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. (

■
Intersection right/left turn assis-
tance
If the system determines that there is a
high possibility of a collision in the fol-
lowing situations, it will assist with Pre-
collision warning and, if necessary Pre-
collision braking.
Depending on the configuration of the
intersection, it may not be possible to
support.
When you turn right/left at an inter-
section and cross the path of an
oncoming vehicle
When you turn right/left, pedestrian
is detected in the forward direction
and estimated to enter your vehi-
cle’s path (bicyclists are not
detected.)
■
Pre-collision seatbacks (rear seats
of 4-passenger models)
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is high, it may
move the seatbacks of the front pas-
senger’s seat and power rear seats to
the upright position automatically, if
reclined.
If a seat is being adjusted, it may not be
moved by the pre-collision seat func-
tion.
■
Suspension control (if equipped)
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the Adaptive Variable Suspension Sys-
tem (
P.366) will control the damp-
ing force of the shock absorbers to
help maintain an appropriate vehicle
posture.

WARNING
■
Limitations of the pre-collision sys-
tem
●
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.
●
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 following conditions care-
fully. 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:
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly:
●
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.
■
Pre-collision braking
●
When the pre-collision braking func-
tion is operating, a large amount of
braking force will be applied.
●
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.
●
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.
●
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.
●
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.
■
Emergency steering assist
●
As emergency steering assist opera-
tion will be canceled when the system
determines that lane departure pre-
vention function has been completed.
●
Emergency steering assist may not
operate or may be cancel in the fol-
lowing cases as the system may deter-
mine the driver is taking actions.
• If the accelerator pedal is being
depressed strongly, the steering wheel
is being operated sharply, the brake
pedal is being depressed or the turn
signal lever is being operated. In this
case, the system may determine that
the driver is taking evasive action and
the emergency steering assist may not
operate.
222

■
Enabling/disabling the pre-colli-
sion system
The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on
(
the multi-information display.
The system is automatically enabled each
time the engine switch is turned to ON.
If the system is disabled, the PCS warn-
ing light will turn on and a message will
be displayed on the multi-information
display.
WARNING
• In some situations, while the emer-
gency steering assist is operating,
operation of the function may be can-
celed if the accelerator pedal is
depressed strongly, the steering wheel
is operated sharply or the brake pedal
is being depressed and the system
determines that the driver is taking
evasive action.
• When the emergency steering assist is
operating, if the steering wheel is held
firmly or is operated in the opposite
direction to that which the system is
generating torque, the function may
be canceled.
■
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:
●
When the vehicle is being towed
●
When your vehicle is towing another
vehicle
●
When transporting the vehicle via
truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
●
When the vehicle is raised on a lift with
the engine running and the tires are
allowed to rotate freely
●
When inspecting the vehicle using a
drum tester such as a chassis dyna-
mometer or speedometer tester, or
when using an on vehicle wheel bal-
ancer
●
When a strong impact is applied to the
front bumper or front grille, due to an
accident or other reasons
●
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
●
When the vehicle is driven in a sporty
manner or off-road
●
When the tires are not properly
inflated
●
When the tires are very worn
●
When tires of a size other than speci-
fied are installed
●
When tire chains are installed
●
When a compact spare tire or an
emergency tire puncture repair kit is
used
●
If equipment (snow plow, etc.) that
may obstruct the radar sensor or front
camera is temporarily installed to the
vehicle

WARNING
■
Before using LTA system
●
Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. The LTA system does not auto-
matically drive the vehicle or reduce
the amount of attention that must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle.
The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by pay-
ing careful attention to the surround-
ing conditions and operating the
steering wheel to correct the path of
the vehicle. Also, the driver must take
adequate breaks when fatigued, such
as from driving for a long period of
time.
●
Failure to perform appropriate driving
operations and pay careful attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■
Situations unsuitable for LTA system
In the following situations, use the LTA
switch to turn the system off. Failure to do
so may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
