Operation Description: Notes
Calculate the distance and relative speed with the vehicle ahead by ICC sensor integrated unit. Control the accelerator pedal actuator and brake booster control unit based on the calculated value via ITS communication.
| When vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead | If the driver is not depressing the accelerator pedal, the system activates the brakes to decelerate smoothly as necessary. | |
| If the driver is depressing the accelerator pedal, the system moves the accelerator pedal upward to assist the driver to release the accelerator pedal. | ||
| When brake operation by driver is required | The system alerts the driver by a warning chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detection indicator. If the driver is depressing the accelerator pedal after the warning, the system moves the accelerator pedal upward to assist the driver to switch to the brake pedal. |
| Deceleration control | It transmits the brake fluid pressure command signal to the brake booster control unit via ITS communication and performs the brake control. |
| Accelerator pedal actuation control | It transmits the accelerator pedal feedback force control signal to the accelerator pedal actuator via ITS communication and controls the accelerator pedal in the upward direction. |
