The AVSM measures a distance
from a vehicle in front with the sen-
sor, warns you of a possible collision
with a vehicle in front, and protects
you in certain hazardous situations
by giving a warning message, a
warning alarm and seatbelt vibration
(if equipped).
When the AVSM detects that anobject in front is too close from
your vehicle, or when the driver
needs to depress brake pedal or to
turn the steering wheel, the warn-
ing light illuminates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
When the AVSM senses a danger, the warning alarm will also sounds
with the seatbelt vibration.
Immediately reduce your speed.
Always check the road conditions
to prevent any danger, even when
the warning light does not illumi-
nate, the warning alarm does not
sound, or the seatbelt does not
vibrate.Brake operation
When the AVSM senses an object in front is too close, the brake sys-
tem enters into a standard mode to
promptly react against the driver's
possible depressing of the brake
pedal.
When the driver releases the accelerator after the warning, the
AVSM automatically and gently
decelerates the vehicle.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to reduce vehicle
speed, the brake assistant system
is activated to raise braking effi-
ciency.
When an object in front is away at a safe distance, and when the driv-
er depresses the accelerator or
releases the brake pedal, the brak-
ing will stop.

The AVSM does not completely
stop the vehicle and does not
totally avoid a collision. Always
cautiously look around the front
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.

cle senses a collision.
