this function warns you of the potential haz-
ard with visual and audible alarms.
When this function is triggered, a buzzer
sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE!”
message appears on the information screen of
the multi-information display.

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
responsive to your brake pedal operation.
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
the brake assist operation.
E00635501104
If the system judges that there is a high risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
the system applies the brakes moderately to
encourage you to apply the brakes.
If the system judges that a collision is una-
voidable, 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 FCM
alarm 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
 This function does not work for a vehicle in
front which is moving extremely slower than
your vehicle.
 Under certain conditions, the audible alarm
may not work at all or may be scarcely audi-
ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if your
vehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec-
essary collision-evading actions, such as
depressing the brake pedal strongly regard-
less of whether the system is activated or not.
FCM brake prefill function
FCM brake assist function
CAUTION
 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
vehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec-
essary collision-evading actions, such as
depressing the brake pedal strongly regard-
less of whether the system is activated or not.
FCM braking function
CAUTION
 Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
 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.
 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.
