Multi-terrain Monitor∗
●By pressing the Multi-terrain Monitor sw
itch, the display can be shown, or the
display image can be changed between the front screen, wide view front &
side monitor screen, side-front simultaneous display monitor screen, side-
rear simultaneous display monitor screen or rear screen. (The screens that
can be selected differ depending on the shift position and the transfer mode.)
●By referring to the guidelines shown on the front monitor screen, you can
decide a driving line while assessing the distance to obstacles ahead of the
vehicle and confirm the projected path, and by using the wide view front &
side monitors, the side-front simultaneous display monitor and the side-rear
simultaneous display monitor to identify objects in the vicinity or course of the
tires, you can drive while preventing the vehicle from becoming stuck unex-
pectedly.

PCS (Pre-Collision system)∗
◆Pre-collision seat belts (front seat belts only)
If the system detects that a collision is unavoidable, the system will retract the
seat belt before the collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses con-
trol of the vehicle. (
→P. 2 9 )
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not operate in the
event of skidding.
◆Pre-collision brake assist
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
◆Pre-collision braking
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system warns the
driver using a warning light, warning display and buzzer. If the system deter-
mines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automatically applied to
reduce the collision speed. Pre-collision braking can be disabled using the
pre-collision braking off switch.
◆AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension System) control (if equipped)
When the system determines that there is a high possibility of a frontal colli-
sion, the AVS optimizes the damping effect ( →P. 3 3 1 )
∗: If equipped
When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the pre-colli-
sion system such as the brakes and seat belts are automatically engaged to
lessen impact as well as vehicle damage.

CAUTION
■Limitations of the pre-collision system
Do not overly rely on the pre-collision system. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and checking for any obstacles or other road hazards.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cautions regarding the assist contents of the system
By means of alarms and brake control, the pr e-collision system is intended to assist the
driver in avoiding collisions through the process of LOOK-JUDGE-ACT. There are
limits to the degree of assistance the system can provide, so please keep in mind the
following important points.
●Assisting the driver in watching the road
The pre-collision system is only able to detect obstacles directly in front of the vehicle,
and only within a limited range. It is not a mechanism that allows careless or inatten-
tive driving, and it is not a system that can as sist the driver in low-visibility conditions. It
is still necessary for the driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver in making correct judgment
When attempting to estimate the possibility of a collision, the only data available to
the pre-collision system is that from obstacles it has detected directly in front of the
vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and to
determine whether or not there is a possibility of collision in any given situation.
●Assisting the driver in taking action
The pre-collision system’s braking assist feature is designed to help reduce the sever-
ity of a collision, and so on ly acts when the system has judged that a collision is
unavoidable. This system by itself is not capable of automatically avoiding a collision
or bringing the vehicle to a stop safety. For this reason, when encountering a danger-
ous situation the driver must take direct and immediate action in order to ensure the
safety of all involved.
