Driving your vehicle
Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)
Multi-Collision Brake controls the brake
automatically in the event of an accident
where the air bag deploys to reduce the
risk of additional accidents that may
occur.
System operation
• From the time the air bag deploys.
Multi-Collision Brake monitors the
depression intensity of the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal for a
short period. The system operates
when the following conditions are
met:
- Vehicle speed is under 180 km/h (112
mph) at the time of collision.
- The brake pedal and accelerator
pedal is hardly depressed.
• When the driver steps on the brake
pedal over a certain level while
Multi-Collision Brake is active, the
braking power takes priority over
automatic braking by Multi-Collision
Brake system. However, if the driver
takes his/her foot off the brake pedal,
automatic braking by Multi-Collision
Brake system will maintain automatic
braking.
System off
Multi-Collision Brake is canceled in the
following situations:
- The accelerator pedal is depressed
over a certain level.
- The vehicle stops.
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or
electronic devices has malfunctioned.
- In a situation system cannot operate
normally.
- Ten seconds have passed since
the brake has been controlled
automatically by Multi-Collision Brake
system.
WARNING
• Multi-Collision Brake decreases
vehicle speed after a collision,
but it does not prevent a second
collision. You may drive away from
the collision spot to avoid other
dangerous situations by depressing
the accelerator pedal.
• After the vehicle is stopped by Multi-
Collision Brake, the system stops
controlling the brakes. Depending
on the situation, the driver should
depress the brake or the accelerator
pedal to prevent further accidents.
