While the vehicle is traveling at a low speed, if there is a possibility of contact with a static object around the vehicle, a vehicle, or a pedestrian approaching from the rear, the system activates drive force control and brake control. Detection covers a wide area surrounding the vehicle, helping to avoid minor collisions and reduce damage.
The system detects the headlamps of oncoming vehicles, tail lamps of preceding vehicles, and brightness of the surrounding area. When it detects a vehicle within the area illuminated by the high beams, it disables/enables 11 LEDs on each side to minutely adjust the lit and unlit areas, optimizing light distribution. By partially blocking light from the high-beam headlamps so that they don’t directly project onto a preceding or oncoming vehicle, the system helps contribute to safe driving at night.
SEA uses the BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) to detect vehicles (including bicycles) approaching from the rear when exiting the vehicle. If SEA determines a collision with an opened door or exiting occupants is a possibility, an indicator in the door mirror lights up to alert occupants. If there is the possibility of a collision when the door is opened, or while the door is open, occupants are alerted by flashing indicators in the door mirror, the multi-information display, the buzzer, and voice notification.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses radar and camera sensors to maintain speed and adjust distance from preceding vehicles. It provides preliminary acceleration for overtaking and lane changes above 80km/h and decelerates during curves, enhancing driver convenience.
When driving on expressways or automobile-only roads with lane lines using Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, the system helps assist the steering operation required to keep the vehicle in its lane. Enhanced recognition and control performance enable assistance on gentle curves, smoothly keeping the vehicle in the centre of its lane with minimal swaying.
ASC enhances the engine sound, recreating upshifting and downshifting sensations that evoke a geared automatic transmission to provide audible feedback of the vehicle’s response to driver operation, enhancing the feeling of unity between the driver and car, and the exhilaration of F SPORT performance.
AVS optimally controls the damping force of the shock absorbers on all four wheels in response to driver input and road surface conditions, contributing to excellent ride comfort and handling.
The application of a rear performance damper delivers exhilarating F SPORT performance, quickly absorbing body flex and vibrations from the road while driving to heighten handling stability and smooth ride comfort. Together with increasing the rigidity of suspension components, it enhances straight-line driving stability for accurate, stable handling and outstanding comfort in normal driving and dynamic performance and stability in high-speed driving.
Conveniently located on the meter bezel, the drive mode select switch lets the driver select the performance mode to suit their mood and driving style, with the choice of Eco, Normal, and Sport S/S+ Modes. In addition, Custom Mode enables customization of settings for the powertrain, AVS, EPS and air conditioning.
The exclusive F SPORT meter lets you select from three different display layouts, with a central tachometer, tachometer and analog speedometer, or simple digital speedometer with a racecar meter motif focused on sports performance. A digital speedometer and the shift position are displayed in the centre of all three layouts.
