Radar sensing misacceleration Mitigation System (RMS) (Forward)*

Radar sensing misacceleration Mitigation System (RMS) (Forward)*

The Radar sensing misacceleration Mitigation System (RMS) (Forward) operates to prevent sudden starts and mitigate collision-caused damages

by suppressing the engine output for up to approximately 5 seconds when the system judges that the system is detected the vehicle or obstacles

within approximately 4 m in front your vehicle and judges that accelerator pedal was depressed promptly and too strongly such as misoperation

of it. This system operates when the vehicle is at stop or moving forward at speed less than approximately 10 km/h (6 mph).

When the RMS (Forward) operates, the

indicator blinks in the instrument cluster, and the buzzer sounds intermittently.

Following parts are used in combination with Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM) and RMS (Forward).

WARNING

z Do not overly rely on the RMS (Forward). It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be careful to operate the accelerator

pedal perceiving the environmental conditions. Misoperation can lead to a serious accident.

z The RMS (Forward) does not have a brake function. Even if the system operates, the vehicle will start to creep if you do not depress the brake

pedal.

Depress the brake pedal according to the environmental condition.

z Depending on the situation, the system does not operate even if the vehicle or the obstacle id in front of your vehicle and this may cause the vehicle

to start suddenly and lead to a serious accident.

z If the vehicle is trapped in the railway crossing because the system is activated as the crossing barrier is misrecognised as an obstacle, escape from

the railway crossing without any panic by one of the following methods.

6

• Release the foot from the accelerator pedal and lightly depress the pedal again.

• Turn the system OFF. (Continuously press the FCM and RMS (Forward)* ON/OFF switch for more than 3 seconds.)

• Continuously depress the accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds.

• Repeat to press the accelerator pedal quickly to its full stroke more than 3 times.

z Do not perform inspection of the system operation on your own. Depending on the situation, this may cause the system to not operate properly and

lead to a serious accident.

CAUTION

z The RMS (Forward) does not operate in the following conditions:

• The ignition switch or the operation mode is other than ON.

• The RMS (Forward) is turned off with the FCM and RMS (Forward)* ON/OFF switch.

• The Active Stability Control system (ASC) is turned off with the ASC OFF switch.

• The

and indicator illuminate at the same time.

• The indicator blinks.

• The selector lever is set to the “P” (PARK), “R” (REVERSE) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
