Multi-Collision Brake (MCB) (if
equipped)
Multi-Collision Brake controls the brake
automatically in the event of an accident
where the air bag deploys or pre-
tensioner seat belt activates to reduce
the risk of additional accidents that may
occur.
System operation
• From the time the air bag deploys
or pre-tensioner seat belt activates,
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 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 whilst
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.
