Multi-collision brake (MCB)
Multi-Collision Brake controls the brake
automatically in the event of an accident
where the airbag deploys to reduce the
risk of additional accidents that may
occur.
System operation
• From the time the airbag 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.
• 10 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 and reduces the
risk of a second 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.
