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.
During system operation, an alert will sound
several short beeps and an interruption
screen will be displayed.
This function only activates when the select
lever is in the D , M (models with manual
mode) or L (models with L position) position.

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.
