Pre-Collision Braking System
When there is the risk of a rear-end collision with an obstacle in front, the EyeSight system
helps to minimize or prevent a collision by warning the driver. If the driver still does not take
evasive action to avoid a collision, the brakes can be automatically applied just before the
collision in order to reduce impact damage, or if possible, prevent the collision. If the driver
takes evasive action to avoid a collision, Pre-Collision Brake Assist will operate in order to
help the driver to prevent the collision.
This system can be effective not only with direct rear-end collisions, but also with offset
rear-end collisions. This function can be activated when the select lever is in the , or positions.
WARNING
xNever use the Pre-Collision Braking System and Pre-Collision Brake Assist to
stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions. These functions
cannot prevent collisions under all conditions. If the driver relies only on the
Pre-Collision Braking System for Brake operation, collisions may occur.
x When a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle and its
surroundings, and operate the brake pedal and/or take other actions if nec-
essary.
x The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System is primarily designed to pre-
vent rear-end collisions with other vehicles when possible and to minimize
damage and injuries in the event of a collision. In addition to other vehi-
cles, things such as motorbikes, bicycles and pedestrians can also be
treated as obstacles. However, there may be cases when detection is not
possible depending on a variety of conditions
*2. For example, when a vehi-
cle is viewed from the side, oncoming vehicle, vehicles approaching in
reverse, small animals or children, or walls or doors are not likely to be
detected.
x The Pre-Collision Braking System will operate at the point when it deter-
mines that a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply strong
braking force just before a collision. The result of this varies depending on
a variety of conditions
*2. Because of this, performance of this function will
not always be the same.
x When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated, it will continue to
operate even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. However, it will
be canceled if the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed.
x If the driver depresses the brake pedal or turns the steering wheel, the system
may determine that this constitutes evasive action by the driver, and the auto-
matic braking control may not activate in order to allow the driver full control.
x When the difference in speed with the obstacle in front is the following fig-
ure
*1 or more, it may not be possible to avoid a collision. Even if the speed
difference is the following figure*1 or less, in cases such as when another
vehicle cuts in front of you, or in other cases depending on visibility, the
condition of road surface and other factors
*2, the function may be unable to
stop the vehicle or may not activate. Pre-Collision Brake Assist also may
not activate depending on the conditions
*2 listed below.
*1:For vehicles: approximately 30 MPH (50 km/h),
For pedestrians: approximately 21 MPH (35 km/h)
*2:Conditions
- Distance to obstacle in front of you, speed difference, proximity condi-
tions, lateral displacement (the amount of offset)

behind an obstacle
x When there is a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper
x When the speed difference between your vehicle and an obstacle is 4
MPH (5 km/h) or less (As braking is performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle, depending on the shape and size of the
obstacle, there may be some cases when the obstacle is outside the
range of the cameras’ field of view.)
x When driving on sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill
grades

■Detection of pedestrians
The EyeSight system can also detect
pedestrians. The EyeSight system detects
pedestrians from their size, shape and
movement. The system detects a pedestrian
when the contour of the head and shoulders
are clear.
WARNING
The EyeSight system’s Pre-Collision Braking function also treats pedestrians
as obstacles. However, depending on the conditions, there may be cases
when the system cannot detect a pedestrian. In the following conditions, the
possibility that the system may not be able to detect a pedestrian as an object
is particularly high.
x When pedestrians are walking in a group
x When a pedestrian is next to a wall or other obstacle
x When a pedestrian is using an umbrella
x When a pedestrian is wearing clothes that are a similar color to the sur-
rounding environment
x When a pedestrian is carrying bulky luggage
x When a pedestrian is bent over, crouching down or lying down
x When a pedestrian is in a dark location
x When a pedestrian suddenly crosses in front of you from the side or sud-
denly runs in front of you

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 warning screen
area of the multi information display for
approximately 2 minutes. A single continuous
beep sounds while the message is displayed.

Pre-Collision Braking System
29
When the Pre-Collision Braking System is activated (when the system determines that there
is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front), if the driver depresses the brake pedal,
the system determines that this is emergency braking and activates braking assist automat-
ically.x
Neither first braking or secondary braking will operate in the following
cases.
- When the vehicle is traveling at approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h) or less (When the select lever is in the position and your vehicle speed is
approximately 2 MPH (4 km/h) or less) or 100 MPH (160 km/h) or more
- When Vehicle Dynamics Control is active
x If the system detects the brake lights of the vehicle in front, your vehicle
will start decelerating earlier than if it does not.
x There are some cases where the first braking is applied for a longer period
of time. One of the reasons for this is due to a large speed difference with
an obstacle in front. In those cases, stronger or weaker braking control
may be activated.
Pre-Collision Braking Assist operation
CAUTION
If the driver depresses the brake pedal manually while following distance
warning is activated, the Pre-Collision Braking Assist will not work. (The vehi-
cle decelerates with the normal braking force operated by the driver.)
NOTE
xPre-Collision Braking Assist function does not operate when the vehicle
speed is approximately 7 MPH (10 km/h) or less or 100 MPH (160 km/h) or
more.
x For information about the braking assist function, refer to the Owner’s
Manual for your vehicle.

Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable driving on
expressways, freeways and interstate highways. The vehicle in front in the same traffic lane is
detected by means of the stereo cameras, and your vehicle tracks the vehicle in front (up to the
maximum speed of the set vehicle speed) while automatically maintaining a following distance that
corresponds to the speed of the vehicle in front. Through operation of the electronic parking brake,
the system uses the vehicle’s conventional braking system to stop your vehicle when the vehicle
in front is stopped. The vehicle is capable of being controlled at a speed between approximately 0
and 90 MPH (145 km/h). Please remember that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
xThis system does not provide the driver with an automatic driving function
that handles all traffic conditions.
x Do not rely excessively on Adaptive Cruise Control. This system is not intended
to assist in driving when the driver is not paying full attention to what is ahead of
him/her due to distractions or a lack of concentration while driving, or under
conditions of poor visibility. It is not intended to prevent rear-end collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all times. Always maintain a safe following distance
behind the vehicle in front of you, pay attention to your surroundings and the
driving conditions, and operate the brake pedal and take other action as neces-
sary.
x Set the set vehicle speed within a range that is appropriate to the road con-
ditions and surrounding environment.
x Before using the system, perform a daily inspection and verify that there
are no malfunctions of the tires or brakes.
Ÿ Refer to the separate “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
x The system may not operate correctly under the conditions listed below.
When these conditions occur, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
- The tire pressure is not correct.

ŸContinued from previous page
- When the vehicle in front is
not directly ahead of your
vehicle and is shifted to
one side
- When there is an obstacle at the side of the road
- When the relative speed difference compared to the
vehicle in front is large
- When a vehicle cuts into your lane in front of you
- When the distance between vehicles is extremely short
- When your vehicle is drift-
ing within the lane
- When driving on a bumpy or unpaved road surface
- When driving on a road with extremely narrow lanes, such as when traffic restrictions are in
effect or in areas where construction work is taking place
- When normal driving has become compromised due to an accident or malfunction
- When extremely heavy cargo is loaded in the cargo area, rear seat or
trunk of your vehicle
x There are limits to the capabilities of Adaptive Cruise Control. Even when
the vehicle in front is detected, the system may not be able to decelerate in
time in cases such as when the difference in speeds is large or when the
vehicle in front decelerates suddenly. Operate the brake pedal and decel-
erate as necessary.
x If the buzzer sounds frequently, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control.
x Even when the following distance is short, the “brake more” warning may
not activate in the following cases.
- When the relative speed difference compared to the vehicle in front is small (the two vehicles are traveling at almost the same speed)
- When the vehicle in front is traveling faster than your vehicle (the follow-
ing distance is gradually increasing)
- When another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle
- When the vehicle in front decelerated suddenly
- When there are repeated uphill and downhill grades
