Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist warning and control
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist produces warning messages and warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels of followings like vehicle's sudden braking in front or lack of vehicle to vehicle distance or collision to pedestrians or cyclist. Also, it controls the brakes in accordance with the collision risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the User Settings in the LCD display. The options for the initial Forward Collision Warning include Fast, Normal or Slow initial warning time.
Collision Warning
A: Collision warning!
-
The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning alarms.
-
The Vehicle may slow down slightly
-
It will operate if the vehicle speed is greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) and less than or equal to 180 km/h (112 mph) on a forward vehicle. (Depending on the condition of the vehicle ahead and the environment surrounding it, the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
-
For pedestrian and cyclist, the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 10 km/h (6 mph) and less than 85 km/h (53 mph). (Depending on the condition of pedestrian and cyclist and the surrounding environment the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
-
-
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist controls the brakes within certain limit to release shock from the collision.
Emergency braking
A: Emergency braking
-
The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning alarms.
-
The brake control is maximized just before a collision, reducing impact when it strikes a forward vehicle.
-
It will operate if the vehicle speed is greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) and less than or equal to 85 km/h (53 mph) on a forward vehicle. (Depending on the condition of the vehicle ahead and the environment surrounding it, the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
-
For pedestrian and cyclist, the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 10 km/h (6 mph) and less than 65 km/h (40 mph). (Depending on the condition of pedestrian and bike riders and the surrounding environment the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist controls the brakes within certain limit to release shock from the collision.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist controls the maximum brakes just before the collision.
-
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.
-
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 pay great caution to vehicle operation, even though there is no warning message or warning alarm.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist cannot avoid all collisions. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist might not completely stop the vehicle before collision, due to ambient, weather and road conditions. The driver has the responsibility to drive safely and control the vehicle.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist operates in accordance with the risk levels, such as the distance from the vehicle/passer-by in front, the speed of the vehicle/passer-by in front, and the driver's vehicle operation.
For the function to activate, do not attempt risky driving.
When a collision is imminent, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may assist the driver with brakes if the driver fails to brake enough.
