Pre-Collision Braking System
When there is a risk of a collision with an identified object in front ( a vehicle , pedestrian , cyclist , etc .), 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 . If the driver takes evasive action to avoid a collision , Pre-Collision Braking Assist will operate in order to help the driver to prevent or minimize the collision . This system can be effective with direct rear-end collisions . In addition to rear-end collisions , this system can be effective for avoiding collisions with crossing pedestrians and cyclists and with oncoming vehicles and pedestrians when turning . This function can be activated when the select lever is in the “ D ”, “ M ” or “ N ” position .
About identified objects for Pre-Collision Braking System EyeSight recognizes the following objects as identified objects for Pre-Collision Braking System . ( Identified objects differ depending on the function .)
• Vehicles
• Pedestrians
• Cyclists
WARNING
Pre-Collision Braking System operation
• Never use Pre-Collision Braking System and Pre-Collision Braking Assist to stop your car or avoid a collision under ordinary conditions . These functions cannot prevent collisions under all conditions . If the driver relies only on Pre- Collision Braking System 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 .
• The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking System is primarily designed to prevent rear-end collisions with other vehicles when possible or to minimize damage and injuries in the event of a collision . In addition to other vehicles , things such as pedestrians and cyclists can also be treated as identified objects . However , there may be cases when detection is not possible depending on a variety of conditions *. For example , when a vehicle is viewed from the side , oncoming vehicle , vehicles approaching in reverse , motorcycles , small animals or children , or walls or doors are not likely to be detected .
• Pre-Collision Braking System 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 .
