Pre-Collision Throttle Management Pre-Collision Throttle Management When an obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle, and the vehicle is stopped or travelling 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. ated Repe eeps tb shor S00382 During system operation, a buzzer will sound several short beeps, and “Obstacle Detected” will be shown on the warning area of the multi information display. The lead vehicle indicator will also flash. This function only activates when the transmission select lever is in the D or M position. S00577 * Models for Canada: Metric units are used. WARNING Do not rely excessively on Pre-Collision Throttle Management. PreCollision Throttle Management is not designed to help you avoid collisions in many situations. Always check the selector 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 recognized (for example when approaching a cliff, etc.) Continued on next page 49
