Pre-Collision System
The pre-collision system uses sensors to detect objects in the path of the vehicle. When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a detectable object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.
Detectable objects
The system can detect the following as detectable objects. (Detectable objects differ depending on the function.) Walls

Proactive driving assist

PDA (Proactive Driving Assist) When a detectable object ( P.8) is detected, the proactive driving assist operates the brakes and steering wheel to help prevent the vehicle from approaching too close to the object. WARNING For safe use Driving safely is solely the responsibility of the driver. The proactive driving assist is designed to provide some assistance for regular braking and steering operations, as well as helping to prevent the vehicle from approaching too close to a detectable object. However, the scope of this assistance is limited. The driver should perform brake and steering operations as necessary. Read the following items carefully. Do not overly rely on the proactive driving assist and always drive carefully. ( P.10) The proactive driving assist is not a system which reduces the amount of attention necessary for safe driving. Even if the system is operating correctly, the surrounding conditions as recognized by the driver and detected by the system may differ. It is necessary for the driver to pay attention, assess risks, and ensure safety. Over-reliance on this system to drive the vehicle safely may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury. Proactive driving assist is not a system which allows for inattentive driving and is not a system which assists in poor visibility conditions. The driver is solely responsible for paying attention to their surroundings and driving safely. When turning proactive driving assist off Situations in which the sensors may not operate properly: *1 When it is necessary to disable the system: *1 System operating conditions and detectable objects According to the driving conditions, the operation and detectable objects of the proactive driving assist will change as follows. *1 : Refer to the “OWNER’S MANUAL” 8
