Secondary Collision Reduction
Secondary Collision Reduction (Some Models)
The Secondary Collision Reduction reduces secondary damage by decelerating the vehicle when it is damaged in a collision to the extent that the airbags are deployed while the vehicle is stopped.
If a collision occurs to the extent that the airbags are deployed while the vehicle is stopped, the hazard warning lights flash to alert surrounding vehicles and the brakes are controlled to reduce damage in the event of a collision with an obstruction or other object.
Warnings and Cautions for Using the Secondary Collision Reduction
Do not rely completely on the Secondary Collision Reduction.
-
The Secondary Collision Reduction may not operate normally depending on various conditions such as the vehicle condition, component part damage condition, target object condition, weather conditions, or traffic conditions. Do not rely completely on the system and make it your responsibility as a driver to drive the vehicle.
-
The functions of the Secondary Collision Reduction have limitations. If you neglect to operate the brake and accelerator pedals correctly, it could result in serious injury.
How to Use the Secondary Collision Reduction
When the Secondary Collision Reduction operates
The Secondary Collision Reduction operates if the vehicle is damaged in a collision to the extent that the airbags are deployed while the vehicle is stopped.
When the Secondary Collision Reduction operates, the system controls and applies the brakes until the vehicle stops. In addition, the hazard warning lights continue to flash.
After the vehicle stops, the parking brake is applied by the Electric Parking Brake (EPB).
-
The brake lights turn on while the brakes are operating by the system control.
-
If there is a malfunction with the electric parking brake (EPB), the brakes are released by the system control after the vehicle is stopped.
-
The settings for the Secondary Collision Reduction system differ depending on the grade/specification-separate equipment.
Secondary Collision Reduction is disabled
If any of the following conditions is met, the Secondary Collision Reduction is canceled.
-
A certain period of time has passed since the system operated.
-
After stopping the vehicle, the accelerator pedal is strongly depressed 3 times.
-
The parking brake is released after the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) operates.
-
If the driver's brake pedal depression force is stronger than the system's brake control, the driver's brake operation takes priority.
-
Flashing of the hazard warning lights by the system control is canceled when any of the following operations is performed.
-
Hazard warning light switch is pressed.
-
Vehicle power is switched OFF.
