• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an e xtremely cold
environment
• When the front camera cannot d etect objects in front of the vehicle, such
as when driving in the dark, sno w, or fog, or when bright lights are shining
into the front camera
• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, th e radar may
judge the surrounding environment can not be properly recognize d. In that
case, “Pre-Collision System Unavailable See Owner’s Manual” is dis-
played.

The system can detect the fol-
lowing (The detectable objects
differs depending on the func-
tion.):
Vehicles
 Bicyclists 
Pedestrians
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and a warning message
will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
“BRAKE!”
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, the system
applies greater braking force in
relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied
to help avoid the collision or
reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.
PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system
uses a radar sensor and
front camera to detect
objects ( P.212) in front of
the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with an object is high, a
warning operates to urge
the driver to take evasive
action and the potential
brake pressure is increased
to help the driver avoid the
collision. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision
with an object is extremely
high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help
avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the col-
lision.
The pre-collision system can
be disabled/enabled and the
warning timing can be
changed. ( P.215)

■Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is high and that there is suf-
ficient space for the vehicle to
be steered into within its lane,
and the driver has begun eva-
sive maneuver or steering,
emergency steering assist will
assist the steering movements
to help enhance the vehicle sta-
bility and for lane departure pre-
vention. During operation, the
indicator will illuminate in green.
■Intersection right/left turn
assistance
If the system determines that
there is a high possibility of a
collision in the following situa-
tions, it will assist with Pre-colli-
sion warning and, if necessary
Pre-collision braking.
Depending on the configuration
of the intersection, it may not be
possible to support.
 When you turn right/left at an
intersection and cross the
path of an oncoming vehicle 
When you turn right/left,
pedestrian is detected in the
forward direction and esti-
mated to enter your vehicle’s
path (bicyclists are not
detected.)WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-colli-
sion system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision sys-
tem instead of normal braking
operations under any circum-
stances. This system will not
prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every
situation. Do not overly rely on
this system. Failure to do so
may lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.

WARNING
●Although this system is
designed to help avoid a colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision, its effectiveness
may change according to vari-
ous conditions, therefore the
system may not always be able
to achieve the same level of
performance.
Read the following conditions
carefully. Do not overly rely on
this system and always drive
carefully.
• Conditions under which the sys- tem may operate even if there is
no possibility of a collision:
 P. 2 1 9
• Conditions under which the sys- tem may not operate properly:
 P. 2 2 0
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the pre-collision system
yourself.
Depending on the objects used
for testing (dummies, card-
board objects imitating detect-
able objects, etc.), the system
may not operate properly, possi-
bly leading to an accident.
■Pre-collision braking
●When the pre-collision braking
function is operating, a large
amount of braking force will be
applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the
operation of the pre-collision
braking function, the pre-colli-
sion braking function operation
will be canceled after approxi-
mately 2 second s. Depress the
brake pedal as necessary.
●The pre-collision braking func-
tion may not operate if certain
operations are performed by the
driver. If the accelerator pedal is
being depressed strongly or the
steering wheel is being turned,
the system may determine that
the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the
pre-collision braking function
from operating.
●In some situations, while the
pre-collision brak ing function is
operating, operation of the func-
tion may be canceled if the
accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly or the steering wheel is
turned and the system deter-
mines that the driver is taking
evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being
depressed, the system may
determine that t he driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly
delay the operation timing of the
pre-collision braking function.
■Emergency steering assist
●As emergency steering assist
operation will be canceled when
the system determines that lane
departure prevention function
has been completed.
●Emergency steering assist may
not operate or may be cancel in
the following cases as the sys-
tem may determine the driver is
taking actions.
• If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly, the steering
wheel is being operated sharply,
the brake pedal is being
depressed or the turn signal
lever is being operated. In this
case, the syst em may deter-
mine that the driver is taking
evasive action and the emer-
gency steering assist may not
operate.

■Enabling/disabling the pre-
collision system
The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on
( P.498) of the multi-informa-
tion display.
The system is automatically
enabled each time the power
switch is turned to ON.
If the system is disabled, the
PCS warning light will turn on
and a message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.

■Changing the pre-collision
warning timing
The pre-collision warning timing
can be changed on
( P.498) of the multi-informa-
tion display.
The warning timing setting is
retained when the power switch is
turned off. However , if the pre-colli-
sion system is disabled and re-
enabled, the operation timing will
return to the default setting (mid-
dle).
If the pre-collision warning tim-
ing is changed, emergency
steering assist timing will also
be changed accordingly.
If late is selected, emergency
steering assist would not oper-
ate in case of an emergency.

■Operational conditions for e ach pre-collision function
The pre-collision syst em is enabled and the system determines t hat the pos-
sibility of a frontal c ollision with a detected object is high.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
• If a 12-volt battery terminal has been di sconnected and reconn ected and
then the vehicle has not been dr iven for a certain amount of time
• If the shift position is in R
• When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning
function will be operational)
The operation speeds and operati on cancelation for each function is listed
below.

●Emergency steering assist
When the turn signal lights are flashing, emergency steering as sist will not
operate in case of an emergency.
If any of the following occur wh ile the emergency steering assi st function is
operating, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is tur ned sharply or abruptly.
• The brake pedal is depressed.
●Intersection right/left turn assistance (pre-collision warning)
When the turn signal lights are not flashing, support for turning left or right at
an intersection which targets on coming vehicles does not work.
●Intersection right/left turn assistance (pre-collision braking)
When the turn signal lights are not flashing, support for turning left or right at
an intersection which targets on coming vehicles does not work.
■Object detection function
The system detects objects based
on their size, profile, motion, etc.
However, an object may not be
detected depending on the sur- rounding brightness and the motion,
posture, and angle of the detected
object, preventing the system from
operating properly. (

■Conditions under which the
system may operate even if
there is no possibility of a colli-
sion
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, the system may determine
that there is a po ssibility of a fron-
tal collision and operate.
• When passing a detectable object,
etc.
• When changing lanes while over- taking a detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable object in an adjacent lane or on
the roadside, such as when
changing the course of travel or
driving on a winding road
• When rapidly closing on a detect- able object, etc.
• When approaching objects on the
roadside, such as detectable
objects, guardrails, utility poles,
trees, or walls
• When there is a detectable object or other object by the roadside at
the entrance of a curve • When there are patterns or paint
in front of your vehicle that may be
mistaken for a detectable object
• When the front of your vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc.
• When overtaking a detectable
object that is changing lanes or
making a right/left turn
• When passing a detectable object in an oncoming lane that is
stopped to make a right/left turn
• When a detectable object approaches very close and then
stops before ente ring the path of
your vehicle
• If the front of your vehicle is raised
or lowered, such as when on an
uneven or undulating road surface
• When driving on a road sur-
rounded by a structure, such as in
a tunnel or on an iron bridge
• When there is a metal object (manhole cover, steel plate, etc.),
steps, or a protrusion in front of
your vehicle
• When passing under an object

• When approaching an electric toll gate barrier, parking area barrier,
or other barrier that opens and
closes
• When using an automatic car wash
• When driving through or under
objects that may contact your
vehicle, such as thick grass, tree
branches, or a banner
• When driving through steam or smoke
• When driving near an object that reflects radio waves, such as a
large truck or guardrail
• When driving near a TV tower, broadcasting station, electric
power plant, radar equipped vehi-
cles, etc., or other location where
strong radio waves or electrical
noise may be present
• When there are many things which can reflect the radio waves
of the radar in the vicinity (tunnels,
truss bridges, gravel roads, snow
covered road that have tracks,
etc.)
• While making a right/left turn, when an oncoming vehicle or a
crossing pedestrian has already
exited the path of your vehicle
• While making a right/left turn, closely in front of an oncoming
vehicle or a crossing pedestrian. • While making a
right/left turn,
when an oncoming vehicle or a
crossing pedestrian stops before
entering the path of your vehicle
• While making a right/left turn,
when an oncoming vehicle turns
right/left in fron t of your vehicle
• While steering into the direction of oncoming traffic
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
●In some situations such as the fol-
lowing, an object may not be
detected by the radar sensor and
front camera, pre venting the sys-
tem from opera ting properly:
• When a detectable object is
approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object is wobbling
• If a detectable object makes an abrupt maneuver (such as sudden
swerving, acceleration or deceler-
ation)
• When your vehicle approaches a detectable object rapidly
• When a detectable object is not
directly in front of your vehicle
• When a detectable object is near
a wall, fence, gua rdrail, manhole
cover, vehicle, steel plate on the
road, etc.
• When a detectable object is under a structure
