Pre-Collision Braking System
Pre-Collision Braking System
When there is a risk of a collision with an identified object in front( a vehicle, motorcycle, 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. This system is also effective for avoiding collisions with oncoming vehicles, oncoming motorcycles, pedestrians and oncoming cyclists when you make a turn. This function can be activated when the select lever is in the“ D”,“ M”( models with manual mode),“ L”( models with“ L” position) 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
• Motorcycles
• 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 Pre-Collision Braking System recognizes vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians and cyclists as identified objects. The system is intended to avoid or reduce the severity of collisions, but the system may not be able to recognize objects under certain conditions *. For example, when a vehicle is viewed from the side, oncoming vehicle, vehicles approaching in reverse, small animals or children, or walls or doors are not likely to be detected.
