i-ACTIVSENSE
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver
support systems which make use of detection devices such as the forward sensing
camera (FSC) and radar sensors. These systems consist of active safety and
pre-crash safety systems.
Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safe and assured driving by helping the driver to
recognise potential hazards and avert accidents. The following systems incorporate
the Active Safety Technologies that support the driver's awareness and safe driving.
Driver awareness support systems
Nighttime visibility
• High Beam Control System (HBC)
Forward/rear detection
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
Rear obstruction detection when leaving a parking space
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Pre-Crash Safety Technology
Pre-crash safety technology is designed to assist the driver in averting collisions or
reduce their severity in situations where they cannot be avoided.The following
systems adopt the pre-crash safety technology.
Collision damage reduction in low vehicle speed range
• Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
For details, refer to Section 4, “i-ACTIVSENSE”.
Driver Support System
• Adjustable Speed Limiter
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safe driving by reducing the load
on the driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However,
because each system has its limitations, always drive carefully and do not rely
solely on the systems.
• Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
