PCS (Pre-Collision System)∗
∗: If equipped
When the system detects the possibility of a frontal collision, the systems
such as the brakes and seat belts are automatically engaged to lessen
impact and injuries to occupants as well as vehicle damage.
■ Pre-collision seat belts (front seat belts only)
If the system detects that a collision is unavoidable, the 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. 88)
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not
operate in the event of skidding.
■ Pre-collision 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-collision 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-collision
braking can be disabled using the pre-collision braking off switch.
