◆Suspension control (if equipped)
When the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the opera-
tion of AVS (→P. 269) optimally controls the damping force of the
shock absorber.
◆Steering control (if equipped)
XVehicles with VGRS
There is a high possibility of collision and if the steering wheel is oper-
ated, the steering gear ratio is changed by VGRS to help improve the
response to steering input.
XVehicles with LDH
There is a high possibility of collision and if the steering wheel is oper-
ated, the steering angles of the front and rear wheels and the heaviness
of the steering wheel are controlled by LDH, thus heightening respon-
siveness in response to the steering operation.
◆Driver monitor sy stem (if equipped)
When the system determines that there is a possibility of a collision, 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-collision alert braking
have been met even when the possibility of a collision increases further,
pre-collision alert braking will operate.

Enabled
Disabled
The “PCS” warning light comes on
when pre-collision system is disabled.
The radar sensor detects vehicles or
other obstacles on or near the road
ahead and determines whether a
collision is imminent based on the
position, speed, and heading of the
obstacles
The driver monitor sensor detects
the direction the driver is facing and
whether the driver’s eyes are open
or closed.
The system determines whether the
driver is facing forward and whether
or not the driver’s eyes are closed.

■Automatic cancelation of the pre-collision system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in the sen-
sors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision system will be automatically
disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if there is a collision possibility.
■When there is a malfunction in the system
“PCS” warning light will flash and warning messages will be displayed.
