What does PCS mean on a car?
1 Answers
PCS on a car refers to the Pre-Collision Safety System. When the PCS light on the car dashboard is illuminated, it indicates that the PCS system is either turned off or has a malfunction. The sensor for the Pre-Collision Safety System is a millimeter-wave radar installed at the front of the vehicle. This radar can automatically detect obstacles ahead and calculate the likelihood of a collision. If the system determines a high probability of collision, it will sound an alarm to alert the driver. Once the PCS system issues an alarm, other active safety devices will also be integrated, with brake assist entering a preparatory state to assist the driver in braking the vehicle. If the Pre-Collision Safety System is malfunctioning, it should be promptly inspected and repaired at a service center.
