Smear effect
Flicker effect
When the camera is used under fluorescent lights, sodium lights, mercury
lights, etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
If a bright light (e.g. sunlight reflected off
the vehicle body) is picked up by the
camera, a smear effect
* peculiar to the
camera may occur.
*: Smear effect — A phenomenon that
occurs when a bright light (for exam-
ple, sunlight reflected off the vehicle
body) is picked up by the camera;
when transmitted by the camera, the
light source appears to have a vertical
streak above and below it.

Hill-start assist control
Hill-start assist control can be operated when
The shift position is in a position other than P.
The parking brake is not applied.
The accelerator pedal is not depressed.
Hill-start assist control
While hill-start assist control is operating, the brakes remain automati-
cally applied after the driver releases the brake pedal. The stop lights and
the high mounted stoplight turn on.
Hill-start assist control operates for about 2 seconds after the brake pedal
is released.
If the slip indicator does not flash and the buzzer does not sound when
the brake pedal is further depressed, slightly reduce the pressure on the
brake pedal (do not allow the vehicle to roll backward) and then firmly
depress it again. If the system still does not operate, check if the operat-
ing conditions explained above have been met.
Hill-start assist control helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards when starting on an incline or slippery slope.
To engage hill-start assist
control, further depress the
brake pedal when the vehicle
is stopped completely.
A buzzer will sound once to
indicate the system is acti-
vated. The slip indicator will
also start flashing.

When driving
CT200h_EE (OM76041E)
Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no possibility of a
collision
When there is an object by the roadside at the entrance to a curve
When passing an oncoming vehicle on a curve
When driving over a narrow iron bridge
When there is a metal object on the road surface
When driving on an uneven road surface (nose up, nose down)
When passing an oncoming vehicle on a left-turn (left-hand drive vehi-
cles) or right-turn (right-hand drive vehicles)
When your vehicle rapidly closes on the vehicle in front
When a grade separation/interchange, sign, billboard, or other structure
appears to be directly in the vehicle’s line of travel
When the steep angle of the road causes a metal object located beneath
the road surface to be seen ahead of the vehicle
When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs
When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment
When passing through certain toll gates
When passing through an overpass
When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also
a possibility that the seat belts will retract quickly and the brakes will be
applied with a force greater than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the
retracted position, stop the vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and
refasten it.
Obstacles not detected
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may
also be occasions when the sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicy-
cles, motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
When there is a malfunction in the system
Warning lights and/or warning messages will turn on or flash. (P. 558,
