SECONDARY COLLISION REDUCTION SYSTEM


id047000000100


Purpose of Adoption

•  SCR brakes have been adopted which reduce so-called secondary collision damage such as that occurring when a vehicle is hit by another vehicle while stationary, sending it into motion under the force of the collision causing the vehicle to hit surrounding vehicles or buildings.
•  SCR hazard lights have been adopted which are flashed automatically to warn surrounding drivers if the vehicle is hit by another vehicle.
•  The secondary collision reduction system is adopted on SBS equipped vehicles or destination models equipped with SCBS.

Service Point

•  If the vehicle is hit several times such as in a multiple impact accident, the SCR (Secondary Collision Reduction) implements control if the conditions are met.
•  The SCR does not operate if the system does not detect an impact strong enough to deploy the air bags. If the front BCM receives an air bag deployment signal from the air bag controller, the hazard warning lights are flashed.

Common Inquiry

•  The purpose of the secondary collision reduction system is to assist the driver. Even if the conditions for operating the system are met, or the system is operating, if the driver operates the steering wheel, accelerator pedal or brake pedal, the system operation is canceled and the driver operations take precedence.

Other

•  The secondary collision reduction system operates automatically when certain conditions are met, however, the system cannot assure avoidance of a collision before it happens. There are limitations to the speed reduction by the brake control (SCR brakes).
•  On vehicles with curtain air bags, the SCR system operates due to a side collision.
•  If a collision occurs in the low-speed range or the impact from the collision is small, they do not deploy.
