4-5. Using the driving support systems PCS (Pre-Collision System)∗ When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the precollision system such as the brakes and seat belts are automatically engaged to lessen impact as well as vehicle damage. The pre-collision system can be turned on and off as necessary by operating the switch. (→P. 307) ◆ Pre-collision seat belts (front seats only) If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-collision system will retract the seat belt before the collision occurs. The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses control of the vehicle. (→P. 34) However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not operate in the event of skidding. ◆ Pre-collision brake assist When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed. ◆ Pre-collision braking When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system warns the driver using a warning light, warning display and buzzer. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automatically applied to reduce the collision speed. ∗: If equipped ES350 300h_OM_OM33A01U_(U)
