Pre-Collision Braking System
Pre-Collision Braking System operation
When there is an obstacle in front of you during driving, the system activates in the following sequence in order to warn the driver and to activate braking control and the brake lights.
Following Distance Warning: When the system determines that there is a risk of collision, an alert sounds repeated short beeps and an interruption screen is displayed on the combination meter display to warn the driver. When the driver depresses the brake pedal to decelerate and achieves a suitable following distance, the warning is canceled.
First Braking and Warning: When the system determines that there is a high risk of collision with an obstacle in front, an alert sounds repeated short beeps and interruption screens are displayed on the combination meter display and the center information display to warn the driver. Braking control may be activated and in some situations, engine output may also be controlled. If the system determines that the amount of evasive action( braking, steering, etc.) taken by the driver has reduced the risk of collision, braking activation is canceled.
Secondary Braking and Warning: If the system then determines that the risk of collision is extremely high, the alert changes to a continuous beeping sound and stronger braking control is activated. Despite any evasive action taken by the driver, if the system subsequently determines that a collision is unavoidable, the system continues to control braking and engine output.
When the vehicle is stopped by secondary braking, the driver should depress the brake pedal in order to ensure that the vehicle stays stopped.
