■

Intersection right/left turn assis-
tance

If the system determines that there is a 
high possibility of a collision in the fol-
lowing situations, it will assist with 
Pre-collision warning and, if necessary 
Pre-collision braking.
Depending on the configuration of the 
intersection, it may not be possible to 
support.



When you turn right/left at an inter-
section and cross the path of an 
oncoming vehicle



When you turn right/left, pedestrian 
is detected in the forward direction 
and estimated to enter your vehi-
cle’s path (bicyclists are not 
detected.)

■

Suspension control (if equipped)

When the system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal collision is high, 
the Adaptive Variable Suspension Sys-
tem (



P.229) will control the damp-

ing force of the shock absorbers to 
help maintain an appropriate vehicle 
posture.

Limitations of the pre-collision system

●

The driver is solely responsible for safe 

driving. Always drive safely, taking 

care to observe your surroundings.

Do not use the pre-collision system 

instead of normal braking operations 

under any circumstances. This system 

will not prevent collisions or lessen col-

lision damage or injury in every situa-

tion. Do not overly rely on this system. 

Failure to do so may lead to an acci-

dent, resulting in death or serious 

injury.

●

Although this system is designed to 

help avoid a collision or help reduce 

the impact of the collision, its effective-

ness may change according to various 

conditions, therefore the system may 

not always be able to achieve the same 

level of performance.

Read the following conditions care-

fully. Do not overly rely on this system 

and always drive carefully.

• Conditions under which the system 

may operate even if there is no possi-

bility of a collision:
