The steering wheel is turned towards the on-coming traffic lane with a vehicle approaching in the opposite direction.
Turning right after or right before an oncoming vehicle passes.
The direction of movement of a vehicle approaching in the opposite direction cannot be predicted due to sudden right/left turning or sudden deceleration.
The brakes are released by the brake control of the Turn-Across Traffic as soon as the danger of a collision passes.
When Front Crossing is Operating (Some Models)
The Front Crossing operates when all of the following conditions are met.
The vehicle is traveling straight at a speed of about 5 km/h to 20 km/h (3 mph to 12 mph).

When an approaching vehicle is traveling straight in a direction perpendicular to your vehicle.
The approaching vehicle is traveling at a constant speed within the range of about 20 km/h to 60 km/h (12 mph to 37 mph).
The system determines that there is a possibility of a collision with a vehicle approaching from the front.
Front Crossing may not operate normally if any of the following conditions is met.

If the intersection accident avoidance assist function operates, a screen display and warning sound the driver notify the driver of the danger. Furthermore, if the possibility of a collision increases, brake control is performed.
Instrument cluster (Type A)
“BRAKE!”
Instrument cluster (Type B)
“BRAKE!”
Active driving display
“BRAKE!”
If the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) cannot detect objects, the intersection accident avoidance assist function may not operate normally.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) (Search).
If the intersection accident avoidance assist function performs brake control and the vehicle is stopped, the system will continue to hold the brakes for a brief time unless there is an operation performed by the driver.
When the rearward detection function operates (Some Models)
The rearward detection function operates when all of the following conditions are met.
The vehicle speed is about 2 km/h to 15 km/h (2 mph to 9.3 mph).
