FCM brake prefill function
E00635200016
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function prefills the brake line with addi-
tional brake fluid to make the brakes more re-
sponsive to your brake pedal operation.
FCM brake assist function
E00635301027
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function deploys the brake assist sooner
than the brake assist operation.
CAUTION
l
The brake assist function may not be trig-
gered when the brake pedal is operated in
certain ways.
Do not overly rely on the system; if your ve-
hicle is in danger of collision, take all neces-
sary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless
of whether the system is activated or not.
FCM braking function
E00635501289
If the system judges that there is a high risk
of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in
front, the system applies the brakes moder-
ately to encourage you to apply the brakes.
If the system judges that a collision is un-
avoidable, it initiates emergency braking con-
trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or,
if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.
When the emergency braking control is trig-
gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis-
ual and audible alarms like with the Forward
collision warning function.
Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor-
mation screen of the multi information dis-
play.
CAUTION
l
Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l
After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.
CAUTION
l
When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel
firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
l
In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.
The vehicle in front of your vehicle is
moving at a speed much lower than your
vehicle’s speed.
When a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of
your vehicle.
When the distance from a vehicle in front
is extremely short.
To an oncoming vehicle.
When your vehicle’s speed is much low-
er.
When the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE), or the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
