4-5. Using the driving support systems
O Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effective-
ness may change according to various
conditions, therefore the system may
not always be able to achieve the same
level of performance.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system
may operate even if there is no possi-
bility of a collision: P.230
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly: P.232
O Do not attempt to test the operation of
the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for
testing (dummies, cardboard objects
imitating detectable objects, etc.), the
system may not operate properly, pos-
sibly leading to an accident.
Q Pre-collision braking
O When the pre-collision braking func-
tion is operating, a large amount of
braking force will be applied.
O If the vehicle is stopped by the opera-
tion of the pre-collision braking func-
tion, the pre-collision braking function
operation will be canceled after
approximately 2 seconds. Depress the
brake pedal as necessary.
O The pre-collision braking function may
not operate if certain operations are
performed by the driver. If the acceler-
ator pedal is being depressed strongly
or the steering wheel is being turned,
the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and pos-
sibly prevent the pre-collision braking
function from operating.
O In some situations, while the pre-colli-
sion braking function is operating,
operation of the function may be can-
celed if the accelerator pedal is
depressed strongly or the steering
wheel is turned and the system deter-
mines that the driver is taking evasive
action.
O If the brake pedal is being depressed,
the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and pos-
sibly delay the operation timing of the
pre-collision braking function.
Q Emergency steering assist
O As emergency steering assist opera-
tion will be canceled when the system
determines that lane departure pre-
vention function has been completed.
O Emergency steering assist may not
operate or may be cancel in the fol-
lowing cases as the system may deter-
mine the driver is taking actions.
• If the accelerator pedal is being
depressed strongly, the steering wheel
is being operated sharply, the brake
pedal is being depressed or the turn
signal lever is being operated. In this
case, the system may determine that
the driver is taking evasive action and
the emergency steering assist may not
operate.
• In some situations, while the emer-
gency steering assist is operating,
operation of the function may be can-
celed if the accelerator pedal is
depressed strongly, the steering wheel
is operated sharply or the brake pedal
is being depressed and the system
determines that the driver is taking
evasive action.
• When the emergency steering assist is
operating, if the steering wheel is held
firmly or is operated in the opposite
direction to that which the system is
generating torque, the function may
be canceled.
