Brake can help you to minimize
the risk of a frontal collision with a vehicle

approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) when you
are rapidly approaching a vehicle in front. An
intermittent warning tone sounds and the
· distance warning lamp lights up in the
instrument cluster.
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated driving conditions may cause the
system to display an unnecessary warning.
At speeds of above approximately
20 mph (30 km/h), if the driver and
passengers have fastened their seat belts,
the PRE-SAFE
®
Brake can:
R
brake the vehicle automatically at speeds
ranging up to approximately 124 mph
(200 km/h)
R
trigger preventative occupant protection
measures (PRE-SAFE
®
) (Y page 51)

distance warning lamp · in the instrument
cluster is illuminated if the PRE-SAFE
®
Brake
calculates that the distance to the vehicle
ahead and your vehicle's current speed
indicate that the PRE-SAFE
®
Brake will not be
capable of slowing the vehicle sufficiently to
maintain the preset following distance, which
creates a danger of a collision.
