Radar brake support system
(if equipped)
Radar brake support system measures the
relative velocity of, and distance from, the
vehicle in front of you by radar and then
attempts to avoid a crash by giving warn-
ing and, in the event of a crash, attempts to
reduce damage through brake control.
WA R N I N G
• Radar brake support system has
limits and may not function prop-
erly depending on the driving con-
ditions. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• For safety reasons, do not check
the operation of the system by
yourself.
• Check that all passengers fasten
their seat belts when the vehicle is
being operated.
When the system is activated, there
is a risk of serious injury from
being thrown.

54P000333
• When the frontal collision warning
sounds, depending on the distance from
the vehicle in front of you and driving
conditions, take evasive action with the
steering wheel or brake pedal.FAR/NEAR setting switch
You can change the timing of when the
frontal collision warning sounds, while the
system is functioning, by using the FAR/
NEAR setting switch.
• Given the same relative velocity and dis-
tance of the vehicle in front of you, the
FAR setting will respond faster than the
NEAR setting. We recommend that you
normally use the FAR setting.

• Press the FAR/NEAR setting switch to
change the frontal collision warning tim-
ing to NEAR (3).
