The Low Speed Pre-Collision System is designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake control (Low Speed Pre-Collision System brake) when the system’s laser sensor detects a vehicle ahead and determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable. It may also be possible to avoid a collision if the relative speed between your vehicle and a vehicle ahead is less than about 12 mph (20 km/h).
In addition, when the driver depresses the brake pedal while the system is in the operation range at about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h), the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Assist (Low Speed Pre-Collision System brake assist))
If the vehicle is stopped by the Low Speed Pre-Collision System operation and the clutch pedal is not depressed, the engine stops.
Refer to Warning Lights.
WARNING
Do not rely on the Low Speed Pre-Collision System as a substitute for safer driving
The Low Speed Pre-Collision System cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), and driving on slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads (reduced tire friction and road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
Do not rely completely on the Low Speed Pre-Collision System
Refer to Stopping The Low Speed Pre-Collision System Operation.
WARNING
Do not modify the suspension
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the Low Speed Pre-Collision System not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which could cause a serious accident.
Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed
Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System to prevent mistaken operation when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed. Refer to Stopping The Low Speed Pre-Collision System Operation
NOTICE
When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recommended that the Low Speed Pre-Collision System be turned off.
Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Low Speed Pre-Collision System may not operate normally.
If a key is left in the vehicle, the functions of the key left in the vehicle are temporarily suspended to prevent theft of the vehicle.
To restore the functions, press the unlock button on the functions-suspended key in the vehicle.
