Secondary CollisionReduction
*
The Secondary Collision Reduction
reduces secondary damage by
decelerating the vehicle when it is
damaged in a collision to the extent
that the airbags are deployed while
driving.
If a collision occurs to the extent that
the airbags are deployed while driving,
the hazard warning lights flash to alert
surrounding vehicles and the brakes
are controlled to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with an obstruction
or other object.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Secondary Collision Reduction
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the
Secondary Collision Reduction.
The Secondary Collision Reduction
may not operate normally depending
on various conditions such as the
accident condition, component part
damage condition, target object
condition, weather conditions, or
traffic conditions. Do not rely
completely on the system and make
it your responsibility as a driver to
drive the vehicle.
 The functions of the Secondary
Collision Reduction have limitations.
If you neglect to operate the brake
and accelerator pedals correctly, it
could result in serious injury.

hydrogen gas produced during normal lead-acid battery operation, could ignite and
cause the lead-acid battery to explode.
Wear eye protection and protective gloves to prevent contact with
lead-acid battery fluid.
Spilled lead-acid battery fluid is dangerous.
Lead-acid battery fluid contains SULFURIC ACID which could cause serious injuries if
it gets in eyes, or on the skin or clothing. If this happens, immediately flush your eyes
with water for 15 minutes or wash your skin thoroughly and get medical attention.
Always keep lead-acid batteries out of the reach of children.
Allowing children to play near lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Lead-acid battery
