of severe frontal collision.
The front seat pretensioners also acti-
vate when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe side collision.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
◆Suspension control (if equipped)
When the system determines that there is a high possibility of a frontal
collision, the operation of AVS ( →P. 270) optimally controls the damp-
ing force of the shock absorber.
◆Steering control (if equipped)
XVehicles with VGRS
There is a high possibility of collision and if the steering wheel is oper-
ated, the steering gear ratio is changed by VGRS to help improve the
response to steering input.
XVehicles with LDH
There is a high possibility of collision and if the steering wheel is oper-
ated, the steering angles of the front and rear wheels and the heaviness
of the steering wheel are controlled by LDH, thus heightening respon-
siveness in response to the steering operation.
◆Driver monitor sy stem (if equipped)
When the system determines that there is a possibility of a collision, and
either the driver is not facing forward or the driver’s eyes are closed,
PCS warnings are given in advance to warn the driver. If the system
determines that the conditions to operate pre-collision alert braking
have been met even when the possibility of a collision increases further,
pre-collision alert braking will operate.
