• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or oncoming
vehicle exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h).
• The front occupants are wearing a seat belt.

l AV S
•
Vehicle speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or oncoming

n Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no danger of collision
l When there is an object by the roadside at the entrance to a curve
l When passing an oncoming vehicle on a curve
l When driving over a narrow iron bridge
l When there is a metal object on the road surface
l When driving on an uneven road surface

l When your vehicle rapidly closes on the vehicle in front
When the system is activated in the situations described above there is also a possi-
bility that the seat belts will retract quickly and the brakes will be applied with a force
greater than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the retracted position, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and refasten.
n When there is a malfunction in the system
Warning lights and/or warning messages will turn on or flash. (→P. 451, 458)
