Ÿ Continued from previous page
xWhen the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
xWhen the rear aspect of
the vehicle in front is
low, small or irregular
(the system may recog-
nize another part of the
vehicle as its rear and
will determine operation
from that)
- When there is an
empty truck or trailer
with no rear and/or
side panels on the
cargo bed
- With vehicles that have cargo protruding from their back ends
- With non-standard shaped vehicles (vehicle transporters or vehicles
with a sidecar fitted, etc.)
- When the height of the vehicle is low, etc.
xWhen there is a wall, etc. in front of a stopped vehicle
xWhen there is another object near the vehicle
xWhen a vehicle, etc. has it’s side facing you.
xWith vehicles that are backing up or with oncoming vehicles, etc.
xWhen the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
- With small animals or children, etc.
- With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
xWhen the detected
object is a fence or wall,
etc. with a uniform pat-
tern (a striped pattern or
brick pattern, etc.)

Pre-Collision Throttle Management
63
Continued on next page Ÿ
xIf your vehicle is trapped on a railroad crossing and you are trying to
escape by driving through the crossing gate, the stereo cameras may rec-
ognize the crossing gate as an obstacle and Pre-Collision Throttle
Management system may activate. In this case, remain calm and either
continue to depress the accelerator pedal or turn off the Pre-Collision
Throttle Management system.
Ÿ Refer to page 67.
xPre-Collision Throttle Management may not activate depending on the fol-
lowing conditions:
- The distance between your vehicle and the obstacle, speed difference,
and lateral displacement (amount of offset)
- Recognition status of the stereo cameras
In particular, the function may not activate in the following cases:
xBad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
xWhen visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air
xWhen light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night
xIn a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
xWhen there is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights
xWhen affected by strong light from the front (for example sunlight at
sunrise or sunset headlight beams, etc.)
xWhen there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield, or it is clouded
xWhen fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
use of the window washer
xWhen obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets
from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo
cameras’ field of view
xWhen the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a
canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
xWith low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
xWhen the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations
of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
xWith small animals or children.
xWith pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
xWhen the rear portion
nearest your vehicle is
too small or too close
(such as a trailer or
oncoming vehicle) the
system may not recog-
nize the part of that
vehicle which is closest
to you.
