Pre-Collision Throttle Management
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When an obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle , and the vehicle is stopped or traveling very slowly , if the system determines that the accelerator pedal has been depressed by more than the necessary amount ( due to driver error ), it greatly restricts engine output and ensures that vehicle forward movement is slower than normal in order to give the driver additional time to brake or react .
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
Repeated short beeps
H00440
During system operation , an alert sounds repeated short beeps and an interruption screen is displayed . This function only activates when the select lever is in the “ D ” or “ M ” position .
H00732
WARNING
Do not rely excessively on Pre-Collision Throttle Management . Pre- Collision Throttle Management is not designed to help you avoid collisions in all situations . Always check the select lever and pedal positions as well as the surrounding environment before starting and operating the vehicle . Relying only on Pre-Collision Throttle Management could result in an accident .
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management is not designed to maintain the vehicle in a stopped condition .
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management will not reduce acceleration under all conditions . It is also not designed to prevent collisions .
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management will operate when an obstacle is detected in front . However , this function will not reduce acceleration in cases where no obstacle is detected ( for example when approaching a cliff , etc .).
• Do not intentionally depress the accelerator pedal excessively when there are obstacles nearby . If the driver relies only on Pre-Collision Throttle Management to control acceleration , collisions may occur .
