About Low Speed Braking Control
The Low Speed Braking Control system has Low Speed Brake, Collision Mitigation Throttle Control, and Rear Collision Mitigation Throttle Control features. If the sonar sensors detect an obstacle such as a wall, and the system determines that there is a risk of collision, then the system suppresses torque and/or applies the brakes, helping to avoid or reduce the severity of a collision.
- If the system activates in a situation where you do not want automatic brake application (such as when the vehicle is between two railroad crossing gates), simply press the brake pedal to deactivate the system and then continue to drive as intended.
- If the system is activated by curbs/parking curbs or level differences on the road and you are unable to park or clear them, turn the system off.
- In order to prevent the system from activating when not needed, always turn it off during vehicle maintenance; when loading on ships, trucks, and so on; when using a chassis dynamometer or free rollers for inspection; or when washing the car in a conveyor type car wash machine.
- After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once, it will not operate again even if you approach the same obstacle. The vehicle must be driven a certain distance before the system can be activated again.
- The system operates separately when moving forward and when reversing. (For example, if it activates when moving forward, it can be activated again immediately if reversing.)
- If Low Speed Braking Control function is activated, the vehicle must be driven a certain distance before Collision Mitigation Throttle Control and Rear Collision Mitigation Throttle Control can be reactivated.
WARNING
The Low Speed Braking Control System cannot avoid all collisions and may not reduce damage in each situation. Overreliance on the system may result in a collision with serious injury or death. Always check your surroundings, your shift position, and your pedal use. Driver remains responsible for safely operating the vehicle.
