Brake system
Multi-Collision Brake (MCB) (if
equipped)
Multi-Collision Brake controls the
brake automatically in the event of
an accident where the air bag
deploys to reduce the risk of addi
-
tional accidents that may occur.
System operation
䳜 From the time the air bag
deploys, Multi-Collision Brake
monitors the depression inten
-
sity of the brake pedal and accel
-
erator 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 colli
-
sion.
- The brake pedal and accelerator
pedal is hardly depressed.
䳜 When the driver steps on the
brake pedal over a certain level
whilst Multi-Collision Brake Sys
-
tem 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, Multi-Collision Brake sys
-
tem will maintain automatic brak
-
ing.
System off
Multi-Collision Brake is cancelled in
the following situations:
䳜 The accelerator pedal is
depressed over a certain level.
䳜 The vehicle stops.
䳜 ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
or electronic devices has malfunc
-
tioned.
䳜 In a situation system cannot
operate normally.
䳜 Ten seconds have passed since
the brake has been controlled
automatically by Multi-Collision
Brake system.
䳜 Multi-Collision Brake decreases
vehicle speed after a collision and
reduces the risk of a second colli
-
sion, 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.
䳜 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 a
further accident.
