Pre-Collision Braking System
Front Cross Traffic Braking operation( if equipped)
When there is a risk of a collision with a front crossing vehicle or motorcycle, the EyeSight system helps to prevent or minimize a collision by warning the driver. If the driver still does not take evasive action to avoid a collision, the brakes can be automatically applied just before the collision in order to reduce impact damage, or if possible, prevent the collision. This function can be activated when the select lever is in the“ D”,“ M” or“ N” position.
WARNING
• Never use Front Cross Traffic Braking to stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions.- This function cannot prevent collisions under all conditions. If the driver relies only on Front Cross Traffic Braking for brake operation, collisions may occur.
• When a warning is activated, pay attention to the front of the vehicle and its surroundings, and operate the brake pedal and / or take other actions if necessary.
• Front Cross Traffic Braking recognizes crossing vehicles and crossing motorcycles as identified objects. The system is intended to avoid or reduce the severity of collisions with front crossing vehicles or motorcycles, but the vehicle may not be able to stop or the system may not activate depending on various conditions *.
• Front Cross Traffic Braking will operate at the point when it determines that a collision cannot be avoided and is designed to apply strong braking force just before a collision. The result of this varies depending on a variety of conditions *. Because of this, performance of this function will not always be the same.
• When Front Cross Traffic Braking is activated, it will continue to operate even if the accelerator pedal is partially depressed. However, it will be canceled if the accelerator pedal is suddenly or fully depressed.
• If the driver depresses the brake pedal or turns the steering wheel, the system may determine that this constitutes evasive action by the driver, and the automatic braking control may not activate in order to allow the driver full control.
