Default RC-F PCS questions

Will the RC-F PSC system result in a full RC-F stop if the car ahead is completely stopped? (Situation might be heavy fog or dust storm the comes up quickly, car ahead has lights off)

Will the RC-F PSC** reduce the power from the engine to help minimize the possible impact force and frontal impact damage. Or just it just apply brakes?

In the user manual it says PSC may not work when car ahead slamps on brakes, so how much time or distance or rate of change of distance does it take the PCS take to make a decision and protect you?

The pre-collision system detects the possible collision of the vehicle with an obstacle, such as a vehicle ahead, based on information received from various sensors. The pre-collision system lessens the damage sustained in a collision by operating in unison with other systems. As part of this, the systems that dampen the impact of a collision, such as the brake control system, are operated.

This system uses a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly to detect a possible collision with a vehicle or obstacle in front. It performs brake assist control and brake control.

Due to the achievement of significant deceleration performance of the pre-collision brake and pre-collision brake assist, a collision may be avoided altogether or collision damage can be reduced. Maximum vehicle deceleration is approximately 30 km/h (19 mph)* for pre-collision brake and approximately 60 km/h (37 mph)* for pre-collision brake assist.

Thanks
Q1 Your answer implies: Yes if there is enough time given the deceleration spec.

Q2 Your answer implies: maybe control throttle since you say "unison with other systems".

Q3 Your units are not correct? mph is a SPEED not a DECELERATION ,which I would have expected to be in feet/sec/sec or miles/hr/hr
Would you please advise
what the correct values and units might be?
