Driving your vehicle
System off
Multi-Collision Brake is cancelled in the
following situations:
- The accelerator pedal is depressed
over a certain level.
- The vehicle stops.
Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)
Multi-Collision Brake controls the brake
automatically in the event of an accident
where the air bag deploys to reduce the
risk of additional accidents that may
occur.
- There is malfunction of ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) or system cannot
operate normally.
- Ten seconds have passed since
the brake has been controlled
automatically by Multi-Collision Brake
system.
System operation
śꢀ From the time the air bag deploys
Multi-Collision Brake monitors the
depression intensity of the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal for a short
period. The system operates when the
following conditions are met:
- The vehicle speed is under 112 mph
(180 km/h) at the time of collision.
- The brake pedal and accelerator
pedal is hardly depressed.
śꢀ When the driver steps on the brake
pedal over a certain level whilst
Multi-Collision Brake is active, the
braking power takes priority over
automatic braking by Multi-Collision
Brake system. However, if the driver
takes his/her foot off the brake pedal,
automatic braking by Multi-Collision
Brake system will maintain automatic
braking.
WARNING
śꢀ Multi-Collision Brake decreases
the vehicle speed after a collision,
but it does not prevent the second
collision. You may drive away from
the collision spot to avoid other
dangerous situations by depressing
the accelerator pedal.
śꢀ After the vehicle is stopped by Multi-
Collision Brake, the system stops
controlling the brakes. Depending
on the situation, the driver should
depress the brake or the accelerator
pedal to prevent further accidents.
