Pre collision seat belts (Front seat belts only)
When the pre collision sensor detects an object or
vehicle with which your vehicle might collide and
determines that a collision may be unavoidable, the seat
belts are quickly drawn back by the retractors to enhance
the effects of the seat belt pretensioners. The
pre collision seat belts also work as well when hard
braking.
The pre −collision seat belts will operate in the following
conditions:
When the approaching speed in regard to the object or the
vehicle exceeds about 30 km/h (18 mph).
When the front seat occupants wear the seat belts.
In the following conditions, the seat belts are quickly drawn
back by the retractors regardless of the possibility of the
collision:
When the vehicle is spinning or cannot take a turn properly
at more than about 15 km/h (10 mph).
Pre collision brake assist system
When the pre collision sensor detects an object or
vehicle with which your vehicle might collide, and
determines that a collision may be unavoidable,
depressing the brake pedal provides more powerful
braking according to the amount of pedal depression.
The pre−collision brake assist system will operate when the
following all conditions are met.
When the vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (18 mph) or over.
When the brake pedal is depressed.
When the approaching speed in regard to the object or the
vehicle exceeds about 30 km/h (18 mph).
If the brake pedal is kept depressed before the sensor’s
determination of unavoidable collision, the pre −collision brake
assist system will operate soon after the sensor’s
determination.

CAUTION
Do not rely solely on the pre collision system to
avoid accidents. Your safe and attentive driving
practices are still the best way to avoid accidents and
you are always responsible for the operation of the
vehicle and the safety of your passengers. When
driving, always pay attention to the surrounding
conditions and the course you are driving.
The pre collision sensor’s collision detection
performance is limited. The sensor is able to detect
a forward object within 10 degrees on either left or
right side. If it is out of the range, or if there is no or
weak millimeter wave reflection, the sensor could not
detect the object and the system does not work
properly.
Even if the pre collision system is operative in an
unavoidable collision, unless the seat belts are worn
and the brake pedal is depressed, the pre collision
seat belts and pre collision brake assist system will
not work.
NOTICE
Even if there is no object with which your vehicle may
collide, the pre collision system may be activated as
follows:
The pre collision seat belts work to quickly draw
back the front seat belts by the retractors
(pre collision seat belts).
The pre collision brake assist system works to apply
more powerful braking than normal braking.
