Availability of the pedestrian detection func tion and pre-crash braking function depend on the region in which the vehicle was sold.
Read the following for details:
Region A (The pedestrian detection function and pre-crash braking function are available)
The pre-crash safety system is enabled and th e system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high.
Each function is operational at the following speeds:

• Vehicle speed is between approximately 10 and 180 km/h (7 and 110 mph). (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 10 and 80 km/h [7and 50 mph].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 10 km/h (7 mph) or more.
●Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 30 and 180 km/h (19 and 110 mph). (For detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 30 and 80 km/h
[19 and 50 mph].) • The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead isapproximately 30 km/h (19 mph) or more.
●Pre-crash braking:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 10 and 180 km/h (7 and 110 mph). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 10 and 80 km/h [7 and 50 mph].)• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is
approximately 10 km/h (7 mph) or more. The system may not operate in the following situations:
