■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is
released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
■ Headlight control sensor (if equipped)
The sensor may not function properly if
anything that blocks the sensor is affixed
to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)∗
◆Pre-crash warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision with a vehicle is high, a
buzzer will sound and a warn-
ing message will be displayed
on the multi-information display
to urge the driver to take eva-
sive action.
◆Pre-crash brake assist
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a vehicle is high, the system applies greater braking force
in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
∗: If equipped
The pre-crash safety system uses the front sensor to detect
vehicles in front of your vehicle. When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high,
pre-crash warning urges the driver to take evasive action and
the potential brake pressure will be increased to help the driver
avoid the collision.
If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision
with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the impact to
the vehicle occupants and the vehicle in the collision.The pre-crash warning timing can be changed or the system can be
enabled/disabled, as necessary, by operating the switch. ( →P. 256)
