- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- When visibility ahead is poor (rain, snow, fog or smoke, etc.)
- When the detected object is something other than a vehicle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestrian
xA domestic animal or other animal (a dog or deer, etc.)
xA guardrail, telephone pole, tree, fence or wall, etc.
- Even if the obstacle is a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian, depending on
the brightness of the surroundings as well as the relative movement, and
aspect or angle of the object, there may be cases when the system can-
not detect it.
- When the system determines that operation by the driver (based on
accelerator pedal operation, braking, steering wheel angle, etc.) is
intended as evasive action
- Vehicle maintenance status (brake systems, tire wear, tire pressure,
whether a temporary spare tire is being used, etc.)

Pre-Collision Braking System
27
When there is an obstacle in the forward direction during driving, the system activates in the
following sequence in order to warn the driver, activate braking control, and active the brake
lights.
Following Distance Warning:
When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, a buzzer sounds repeated short
beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illuminate to warn the driver.
The Following Distance Warning operates when Adaptive Cruise Control is not set.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable following
distance, the warning is canceled.
First Braking and Warning:
When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, a
buzzer sounds repeated short beeps and the indicators on the multi information display illu-
minate to warn the driver, and braking control is activated and the engine output, in some
situations, is also controlled. If the system determines that the amount of evasive action
(braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver has reduced the risk of collision, braking activa-
tion is canceled.
Secondary Braking and Warning:
If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the buzzer changes
to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated. If, despite any eva-
sive action taken by the driver, the system subsequently determines that a collision is
unavoidable, braking control and the engine output control are continued.
Even after the vehicle has stopped, depress the brake pedal.

Until the brake pedal is depressed, a mes-
sage appears and stays in the pop-up screen
area of the multi information display for
approximately 2 minutes. A single continuous
beep sounds while the message is displayed.

Pressing and holding the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch for approximately 2 sec-
onds (or longer) turns off the Pre-Collision Braking System (including Pre-Collision Brake
Assist). When 1 short beep sound emits, this control is turned off and the Pre-Collision
Braking System OFF indicator light on the instrument panel illuminates.
To turn the control back on, press and hold the Pre-Collision Braking System OFF switch for
approximately 2 seconds or longer again. When this control is turned on, the Pre-Collision
Braking System OFF indicator light turns off.

NOTE
xWhen the Pre-Collision Braking System is turned off, the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management Control function is also turned off.
xEven when the Pre-Collision Braking System is turned off, if the ignition
switch is turned off and the engine is then restarted, the Pre-Collision
Braking System will be turned on. The system default setting when the
vehicle is restarted in “ON”.

Adaptive Cruise Control
37
CAUTION
xAfter Adaptive Cruise Control has started, it maintains control continuously
according to the behavior of the vehicle in front. When your vehicle comes
to a stop if the vehicle in front has stopped, the stay-stopped function is
engaged. However, if the EyeSight stereo cameras lost detection of the
vehicle in front, the system may not stop your vehicle. Operate the brake
pedal and maintain the correct following distance as necessary. Be aware
that the EyeSight system has difficulty detecting objects or vehicles that
have a relative speed in comparison to your vehicle. Therefore, if the
EyeSight system loses detection just as you are approaching a line of
stopped cars, for example - you will have to brake manually.
xThere is no possibility that the vehicle will automatically begin moving from
a stay-stopped condition without operation from the driver.
xIf the conditions for automatically canceling cruise control (
Ÿ refer to page
49) are met while the vehicle is stay-stopped, Adaptive Cruise Control is
canceled and for safety reasons, the electronic parking brake is automati-
cally applied.
xBraking may not be sufficient depending on the following conditions. Oper-
ate the brake pedal and decelerate as necessary.
- Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
- Road conditions (grade, slipperiness, shape, bumps, etc.)
- Vehicle maintenance status (brake systems, tire wear, air pressure, tem-
porary spare tire is being used, etc.)
- When the brakes are cold. (For example, just after the engine is started
or when the outside temperature is low.)
- For a short period of time when driving after the engine is started until the
engine has warmed-up
- When the brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking effective-
ness may be reduced)
- When driving in rain or after washing the vehicle (the brakes may
become wet and braking effectiveness may be reduced)
- When towing a trailer or another vehicle, etc.
