CAUTION
■Cautions regarding the assist contents of the system
By means of alarms and brake control, the pre-crash safety 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-crash safety 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
inattentive driving, and it is not a system th at can assist the driver in low-visibility con-
ditions. 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-crash safety system is that from obstacles it has detected directly in front of
the vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely nece ssary 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-crash safety system’s braking assist feature is designed to help reduce the
severity of a collision, and so only acts when the system has judged that a collision is
unavoidable. This system is not capable of automatically avoiding a collision or bring-
ing the vehicle to a stop safely without appropriate operations performed by the
driver. For this reason, when encountering a dangerous situation the driver must take
direct and immediate action in order to ensure the safety of all involved.
