AVSM detects the distance from the
vehicle ahead with the sensor, to
warn you before collision and protect
you in certain hazardous situations
by using warning message, warning
sound and seat belt vibration (if
equipped).
• If the AVSM senses the object
ahead too near the vehicle and if
driver's operating of the brake
pedal or the steering wheel should
be needed, the warning light illumi-
nates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
• If the AVSM senses more danger-
ous, the warning sound also oper-
ates and the seat belt vibrates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
ADVANCED VEHICLE SAFETY MANAGEMENT (AVSM) (IF EQUIPPED)
