Pre-Collision Braking System
23
xWhen you suddenly change lanes and your vehicle is immediately
behind an obstacle
x When there is a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper
x When the speed difference between your vehicle and an obstacle is 4
MPH (5 km/h) or less (As braking is performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle, depending on the shape and size of the
obstacle, there may be some cases when the obstacle is outside the
range of the cameras’ field of view.)
x When driving on sharp curves, steep uphill grades or steep downhill
grades
x When driving on a bumpy or unpaved road
x When there are changes in brightness, such as at a tunnel entrance or
exit
