■Active head restraints
Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to move. Pushing
up a locked head restraint forcibly may appe
ar the head restraint inner structure. These
do not indicate problems.
CAUTION
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers are not
injured by the moving seat.

directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk
of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be ma de while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

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 ho w 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 di splay and buzzer. If the system deter-
mines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automatically applied to
reduce the collision speed. Pre-collisio n 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.
