5. PRE-COLLISION BRAKING SYSTEM 2
When it senses an impending collision with a vehicle or other obstacle in front, the Pre-Collision Braking System can warn the driver with a series of beeps and a visual warning in your gauge cluster. If the driver still does not take evasive action to avoid the collision, the system can automatically apply the brakes to reduce the severity of any impact or, if possible, prevent a collision entirely. If the driver takes evasive action to avoid a collision, Pre-Collision Brake Assist can act to aid the driver in preventing the collision. Also, Pre-Collision Steering Assist helps drivers make a sharp turn to avoid a collision when it spots a potential frontal impact.
6. PRE-COLLISION THROTTLE MANAGEMENT
When EyeSight ® 1 sees an obstacle in front of you and you put the vehicle in drive instead of reverse, Pre-Collision Throttle Management sounds several short beeps, turns on a flashing indicator and cuts the engine output to help you avoid a frontal collision.
1 EyeSight is a driver assist technology, which may not operate optimally under all driving conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road conditions. See Owner’ s Manual for complete details on system operation and limitations. Please remember to turn off EyeSight when going through a carwash. 2 Pre-Collision Braking System may not work in all situations. Depending on the speed difference from objects, the object’ s height and other conditions, every situation may not meet the necessary conditions for EyeSight to work optimally.
