4-5. Using the driving support systems
z When you turn right/left, pedestrian
is detected in the forward direction
and estimated to enter your vehi-
cle’s path (bicyclists are not
detected.)
Q Pre-collision seatbacks (rear seats
of 4-passenger models)
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is high, it may
move the seatbacks of the front pas-
senger’s seat and power rear seats to
the upright position automatically, if
reclined.
If a seat is being adjusted, it may not be
moved by the pre-collision seat func-
tion.
Q Suspension control
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the AVS (oP.431) will control the
damping force of the shock absorbers
to help maintain an appropriate vehicle
posture.
Q Limitations of the pre-collision sys-
tem
O The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system
instead of normal braking operations
under any circumstances. This system
will not prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every situa-
tion. Do not overly rely on this system.
Failure to do so may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious
injury.
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: oP.269
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly: oP.271
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.
