Brake operation

In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status for prompt reaction to assist the driver in depressing the brake pedal.
  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist provides additional braking power for optimum braking performance when the driver depresses the brake pedal during warning.

  • The braking control is automatically deactivated when the driver sharply depresses the accelerator pedal, or when the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel.

  • The braking control is automatically canceled when risk factors disappear.

The driver should always exercise caution when operating the vehicle, even though there is no warning message or warning alarm.

WARNING

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is a supplemental function and cannot completely stop the vehicle in all situations or avoid all collisions. It is the responsibility of the driver to safely drive and control the vehicle.

WARNING

Never deliberately drive dangerously to activate the function as such conduct increases the risk of an accident.

NOTICE

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist assesses the risk of a collision by monitoring several variables such as the distance to the vehicle/pedestrian/cyclist ahead, the speed of the vehicle/pedestrian/cyclist ahead, and the driver's operation of the vehicle. Certain conditions such as inclement weather and road conditions may affect the operation of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.

For the function operation, do not attempt risky driving.
