IS350/250_U (OM53C50U)
■ The pre-collision system is operational when
The PCS OFF switch is not pressed and the following conditions are met:
● Pre-collision warning:
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 10 mph (15 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehicle running
ahead of you is greater than about 10 mph (15 km/h).
● Pre-collision brake assist:
• The VSC OFF switch is not pressed.
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 19 mph (30 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehicle running
ahead of you is greater than about 19 mph (30 km/h).
• The brake pedal is depressed.
● Pre-collision braking:
• The VSC OFF switch is not pressed.
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 10 mph (15 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehicle running
ahead of you is greater than about 10 mph (15 km/h).
● Suspension control (vehicles with Adaptive Variable Suspension System):
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 4 mph (5 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehicle running
ahead of you is greater than about 19 mph (30 km/h).
■ Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no danger of a collision
● When there is an object by the roadside at the entrance to a curve
● When passing an oncoming vehicle on a curve
● When driving over a narrow iron bridge
● When there is a metal object on the road surface
● When driving on an uneven road surface
● When passing an oncoming vehicle on a left-turn
● When your vehicle rapidly closes on the vehicle in front
● When a grade separation/interchange, sign, billboard, or other structure appears to be
directly in the vehicle’s line of travel
● When there is a metal plate in the road in front of the vehicle on a downhill slope
● When climbing a steep hill causes an overhead billboard or other metallic structure to
appear directly in the vehicle’s line of travel
● When driving under an overpass
● When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs
● When passing through certain toll gates
● When passing through a tunnel
● When the radar sensor moves off position due to its surrounding area being subjected
to a strong impact
When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also a possibility
that the brakes will be applied with a force greater than normal.
