WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST
Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. The
system provides multiple levels of
assistance to help avoid a collision if your
vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian or
cyclist within your driving path.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards the system provides the
following levels of functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Brake support.
3. Automatic emergency braking.
Alert: When active, a flashing
visual warning appears and an
audible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support: The system helps reduce
the impact speed by preparing the brakes
for rapid braking. The system does not
automatically apply the brakes. If you press
the brake pedal, the system may apply
additional braking up to maximum braking
force, even if you lightly press the brake
pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking:
Automatic emergency braking may
activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent.
Note: If the pre-collision assist alerts are
too frequent or disturbing, you can reduce
the alert sensitivity. Setting the low
sensitivity results in fewer and later
warnings of a potential forward collision.
The manufacturer recommends using the
high sensitivity setting where possible.
Note: Automatic emergency braking
performance is not affected by the
sensitivity setting.
Each system has various levels of
detection capabilities. See Pre-Collision
Assist Limitations (page 307).

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead
to a crash or personal injury.
WARNING: The system may
operate with reduced function during
cold and inclement weather conditions.
Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog can
adversely affect the system. Keep the
front camera and radar free of snow and
ice. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in the loss of control of your
