CAUTION
When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles
are in front of you.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles,
the approach warning (P. 289) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious
accident may result.
Vehicles that cut in suddenly
Vehicles traveling at low speeds
Vehicles that are not moving
Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control may
not function correctly
Apply the brakes as necessary in the following conditions as the radar sen-
sor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, and a fatal or serious
accident may result:
When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
functioning of the sensor
When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the
trunk etc.)
When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable
When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety)
: If equipped
When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the
pre-crash safety systems such as the brakes and seat belts are
automatically engaged to lessen impact and injuries to occupants
as well as vehicle damage.
Pre-crash seat belts
If the pre-crash sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable,
the pre-crash safety system will retract the seat belt before the
collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking
or loses control of the vehicle. (P. 110)
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not
operate in the event of skidding.
Pre-crash brake assist
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system
applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-crash braking
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system
warns the driver using a warning light, warning display and
buzzer. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable,
the brakes are automatically applied to reduce the collision
speed. Pre-crash braking can be disabled using the pre-crash
braking OFF switch.

Obstacles not detected
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as pylons. There may also
be occasions when the radar sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals,
bicycles, motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
The pre-crash safety is operational when
Pre-crash seat belts (Type A):
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The system detects sudden braking or skidding.
• The front occupants are wearing a seat belt.
Pre-crash seat belts (Type B):
• Vehicle speed is above 5 km/h (4 mph).
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and another vehi-
cle that is ahead of your vehicle, or the speed at which your vehicle is
approaching an obstacle is greater than 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The front occupants are wearing a seat belt.
Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is above 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and another vehi-
cle that is ahead of your vehicle, or the speed at which your vehicle is
approaching an obstacle is greater than 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-crash braking:
• The pre-crash braking OFF switch is not pressed.
• Vehicle speed is above 15 km/h (10 mph).
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and another vehi-
cle that is ahead of your vehicle, or the speed at which your vehicle is
approaching an obstacle is greater than 15 km/h (10 mph).
