Suspension control (if equipped)
When the system determines that there is a high possibility of a
frontal collision, the operation of AVS (P. 398) optimally con-
trols the damping force of the shock absorber.
Steering control (if equipped)
There is a high possibility of collision and if the steering wheel is
operated, the steering angles of the front and rear wheels and the
heaviness of the steering wheel are controlled by LDH, thus
heightening responsiveness in response to the steering operation.
Driver monitor system (if equipped)
When the system determines that there is a possibility of a colli-
sion, and either the driver is not facing forward or the driver’s
eyes are closed, PCS warnings are given in advance to warn the
driver. If the system determines that the conditions to operate
pre-crash alert braking have been met even when the possibility
of a collision increases further, pre-crash alert braking will oper-
ate.
