A high-precision millimeter-wave radar installed in the front bumper detects moving or stationary vehicles ahead as well as pedestrians.* 1 If a potential collision is detected, the system alerts the driver with a warning and automatically activates the brakes.*2 This helps the driver avoid a collision, or reduces the level of damage if a collision is unavoidable. When AEBS is activated, the icon in the multi-information display in the instrument cluster alerts the driver, and a warning lamp flashes.
*1 Only capable of detecting walking pedestrians.
*2 Specific conditions must be present before the brakes are activated.
AEBS is not designed for preventing collisions or minimizing damage in any condition, and has limitations in its recognition and control performance. Drivers must always check for safety around the vehicle before driving, and maintain a safe distance between other vehicles. The system may not active depending on the conditions of the vehicle ahead.
