WARNING
■Cautions regarding the assist contents of the system
By means of alarms and brake control, the pr e-crash safety system is intended to assist the driver in avoiding collisions throug h the process of LOOK-JUDGE-ACT. There are
limits to the degree of assistance the system can provide, so please keep in mind the following important points.
●Assisting the driver in watching the road
The pre-crash safety system is only able to detect obstacles directly in front of the vehicle, and only within a limited range. It is not a mechanism that allows careless or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility con-
ditions. It is still necessary for the driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver in making correct judgment
When attempting to estimate the possibility of a collision, the only data available to the pre-crash safety system is that from obstacles it has detected directly in front ofthe vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and
to determine whether or not there is a po ssibility of collision in any given situation.
●Assisting the driver in taking action The pre-crash brake assist function of the pre-crash safety system is designed to help
reduce the severity of a collision, and will only operate when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable. This system is not capable of automatically avoiding a collision or bringing the vehicle to a stop safely without appropriate operations per-
formed by the driver. For this reason, wh en encountering a dangerous situation the driver must take direct and immediate acti on in order to ensure the safety of all involved.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings.
The BSM function is a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is approaching rapidly from behind intoa blind spot. Do not overly rely on the BSM function. As the function cannot judge if it is
safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an accident resulting in death or seri- ous injury.
As the system may not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own
visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
