The system can detect the follow-
ing (The detectable objects differs
depending on the function.):
Vehicles
Bicyclists
Pedestrians
■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.
“BRAKE!”
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collision is
high, the system applies greater
braking force in relation to how
strongly the brake pedal is
depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is
extremely high, the brakes are
automatically applied to help avoid
the collision or reduce the impact of
the collision.
■Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that the
possibility of a collision with a
PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-
tem)
The pre-collision system uses
a radar sensor and front cam-
era to detect objects ( P.161)
in front of the vehicle. When
the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision
with an object is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the driver
to take evasive action and the
potential brake pressure is
increased to he lp the driver
avoid the collision. If the sys-
tem determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision with
an object is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be
disabled/enabled and the warn-
ing timing can be changed.

■Operational conditions for each pre-collision function
The pre-collision system is enabled and the system determines t hat the possibility of a frontal collision with a detected object is high.The system may not operate in the following situations:
• If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected an d then the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
• If the shift lever is in R
• When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collis ion warning function will be operational)

• While making a right/left turn, when a
pedestrian approaches from behind or side of your vehicle
●In addition to the above, in some situ-ations, such as the following, the emergency steering assist may not
operate. • When the white (yellow) lane lines are difficult to see, such as when they are
faint, diverging/merging, or a shadow is cast upon them• When the lane is wider or narrower
than normal • When there is a light and dark pattern on the road surface, such as due to
road repairs • When a pedestrian is detected near the centerline of the vehicle
• When the target is too close • When there is insufficient safe or unobstructed space for the vehicle to
be steered into • If oncoming vehicle is present• If VSC function is operating
●In some situations such as the follow-ing, sufficient braking force or steering
force may not be obtained, preventing the system from performing properly:• If the braking functions cannot operate
to their full extent, such as when the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly main-
tained (brakes or tires are excessively
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)• When the vehicle is being driven on a
gravel road or other slippery surface • When the road surface has deep wheel tracks
• When driving on a hill road • When driving on a road that has inclines to the left or right
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P.212), the pre- collision brake assist and pre-collision
braking functions are also disabled.
●The PCS warning light will turn on and
“VSC Turned OFF Pre-Collision Brake System Unavailable” will be displayed on the multi-information display.
