PCS (Pre-Collision System)
◆Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and a warning message
will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and camera sen-
sor to detect vehicles and pedest rians in front of your vehicle.
When the system determines that t he possibility of a frontal col-
lision with a vehicle or pedest rian is high, a warning operates to
urge the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake
pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If the
system determines that the possi bility of a frontal collision with
a vehicle or pedestrian is extremely high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce th e
impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can b e disabled/enabled and the warnin g
timing can be changed. ( P. 3 8 1 )
