PRE-CRASH SAFETY SYSTEM


  1. OPERATING CONDITION

    Tech Tips

    Availability of the pedestrian detection function and pre-crash braking function depend on the region in which the vehicle was sold.

    Regions Function availability
    Region A The pedestrian detection function and pre-crash braking function are available
    Region B The pedestrian detection function is not available and the pre-crash braking function is available
    Region C The pedestrian detection function and pre-crash braking function are not available

    1. Region A (The pedestrian detection function and pre-crash braking function are available)


      1. The pre-crash safety is enabled and the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high. Each function is operational at the following speeds:


        • Pre-crash warning:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more. (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10 and 80 km/h].)

          • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.

        • Pre-crash brake assist:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) or more. (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 19 and 50 mph [30 and 80 km/h].)

          • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) or more.

        • Pre-crash braking:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more. (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10 and 80 km/h].)

          • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.

        • AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension System) control:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately 16 mph (25 km/h) or more.

          • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 13 mph (20 km/h) or more.

        • The system may not operate in the following situations:


          • If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time

          • If the shift lever is in R

          • If VSC is disabled (only the pre-crash warning function will be operational)

          • If the PCS warning light is flashing or illuminated

    2. Region B (The pedestrian detection function is not available and the pre-crash braking function is available)


      1. The pre-crash safety is enabled and the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high. Each function is operational at the following speeds:


        • Pre-crash warning:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately10 mph (15 km/h) or more.

          • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.

        • Pre-crash brake assist:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) or more.

          • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) or more.

        • Pre-crash braking:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately 10 mph (15 km/h) or more.

          • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.

        • AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension System) control:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately 16 mph (25 km/h) or more.

          • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 13 mph (20 km/h) or more.

        • The system may not operate in the following situations:


          • If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time

          • If the shift lever is in R

          • If VSC is disabled (only the pre-crash warning function will be operational)

          • If the PCS warning light is flashing or illuminated

    3. Region C (The pedestrian detection function and pre-crash braking function are not available)


      1. The pre-crash safety is enabled and the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high. Each function is operational at the following speeds:


        • Pre-crash warning:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately10 mph (15 km/h) or more.

          • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.

        • Pre-crash brake assist:


          • Vehicle speed is approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) or more.

          • The relative speed, between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) or more.

        • The system may not operate in the following situations:


          • If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time

          • If the shift lever is in R

          • If VSC is disabled (only the pre-crash warning function will be operational)

          • If the PCS warning light is flashing or illuminated

    4. Cancelation of the pre-crash braking

      Tech Tips

      Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pre-crash braking function may not be available.


      1. If either of the following occur while the pre-crash braking function is operating, it will be canceled:


        • The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.

        • The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.

      2. If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash braking function, the operation of the pre-crash braking function will be canceled after the vehicle has been stopped for approximately 2 seconds.

    5. Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no possibility of a collision


      1. In some situations such as the following, the system may determine that there is a possibility of a frontal collision and operate.
