When the forward detection function operates (Some Models)

The forward detection function operates when all of the following conditions are met and the system determines that there is the possibility of your vehicle colliding with a target object at the front.

  • (If an object is a vehicle ahead/motorcycles)

    • The vehicle speed is about 4 km/h (3 mph) or faster.

  • (If an object is a bicycle/pedestrian)

    • The vehicle speed is about 10 km/h to 80 km/h (6.3 mph to 49 mph).

  • The DSC does not operate.

When the forward detection function operates, the driver is notified of the danger by the screen display and warning sound.

Additionally, if the vehicle speed is about 80 km/h (49 mph) or slower and the possibility of a collision increases, brake control is performed.
