About Low Speed Braking Control

Using sonar sensors, this system can detect if there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other obstacle during normal driving or when the accelerator pedal is depressed with too much force. The system then assists in avoiding collisions and reducing damage from impact through assistive braking and/or assistive driving power suppression.

Sonar Sensors

  1. If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a situation where you do not want automatic brake application (such as when the vehicle is between two railroad crossing gates), simply press the brake pedal to deactivate the system and then continue to drive as intended.
  2. The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a few seconds after the system is activated. To keep the vehicle stopped, keep the brake pedal depressed or put the transmission into P.
  3. In order to prevent the system from activating when not needed, always turn it off during vehicle maintenance; when loading on ships, trucks, and so on; when using a chassis dynamometer or free rollers for inspection; or when washing the car in conveyor type car wash machine.
  4. After Low Speed Braking Control has activated once, it will not activate again for the same obstacle. It can be activated again after driving for a certain distance after last activation.
  5. Low Speed Braking Control activates separately when moving forward and reversing. (For example, if it activates when moving forward, it can be activated again immediately if reversing.)
  6. When the Drive Mode is changed to TOW mode, the Low Speed Braking Control System will not work when reversing.

  7. When the Drive Mode is changed to TRAIL mode, the Low Speed Braking Control System will not work.

WARNING

The Low Speed Braking Control System cannot avoid all collisions and may not reduce damage in each situation where the accelerator is mistakenly or aggressively pressed. Overreliance on the system may result in a collision with serious injury or death. Always check your surroundings, your shift position, and your pedal use. Driver remains responsible for safely operating the vehicle.
