BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW F UNCTION) : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006228293
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
When the Preview Function identifies the need to apply emergency braking by sensing a vehicle ahead in the
same lane and the distance and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before the driver
depress the brake pedal and helps improve brake response by reducing pedal free play.
The Preview Function shares component parts and diagnosis with the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system.
CAUTION:
This system is only an aid to assist braking oper ation and is not a collision warning or avoidance
device. It is the driver ′s responsibility to stay aler t, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The system detects the distance to the vehicle in fr ont with the ICC sensor of ICC and judges the necessity
of emergency braking.
The system detects the accelerator pedal release operati on of the driver by the accelerator pedal position
sensor and estimates the driver's brake operation intention.
If the system is judged that the emergency braking is nec essary and that the driver has the intention to oper-
ate the brake, the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) applies pre-pressure to reduce brake pedal
play.
NOTE:
This system will not operate under the following conditions:
When the vehicle is moving at approx imately 32 km/h (20 MPH) or less.
When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H or 4L position.
END OF OPERATION
The pre-pressure function ceases when the following conditions are met:
1. When the driver depresses the acce lerator pedal or the brake pedal.
2. If the driver does not operate the accelerator pedal or brake pedal within approximately 1 second.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PREVIEW FUNCTION
This system is only an aid to assist braking operation and is not a collision warning or avoidance device. It is
the driver ′s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
As there is a performance limit to the Preview Function, never rely solely on this system. This system does
not correct careless inattentive or absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Reduce vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal , in order to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.
The system may not detect a vehicle ahead, depending on road or weather conditions. While the vehicle still
travels and the Brake Assist Syst em operates under normal conditions, the Preview Function may operate
improperly under the following conditions:
- When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
- When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset ) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle
- Winding or hilly roads may cause the sensor to tem porarily not detect a vehicle in the same lane or may
detect objects or vehicles in other lanes.
- Vehicle position in the lane may cause the sensor to te mporarily not detect a vehicle in the same lane or may
detect objects or vehicles in other lanes.
The system will not detect:
- Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
- Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane as illustrated
When the Preview Function operates, the brake pedal may move slightly and may make a small noise. This is not a system malfunc-
tion.
