5-84Starting and driving
SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as winding,
hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads which are
under construction, the sensor may detect
vehicles in a different lane, or may temporarily
not detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This may
cause the system to work inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
traveling position in the lane, etc.) or vehicle
condition.If this occurs, the system may
warn you by blinking the vehicle ahead
detection indicator and sounding the
chime unexpectedly. You will have to
manually control the proper distance away
from the vehicle traveling ahead.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the FEB
with pedestrian detection system could
result in serious injury or death.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It is not a replacement for the
driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive
safely. It cannot prevent accidents
due to carelessness or dangerous
driving techniques.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
The FEB with pedestrian detection system can
assist the driver when there is a risk of a forward
collision with the vehicle ahead in the traveling
lane or with a pedestrian.
FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING
(FEB) WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM*

JVS1042X
The FEB with pedestrian detection system uses
a radar sensor
*Alocated on the front of the
vehicle to measure the distance to the vehicle
ahead in the same lane.
For pedestrians, the FEB system uses a camera
*Binstalled behind the windshield in addition
to the radar sensor.

FEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB with pedestrian detection system will
function when your vehicle is driven at speeds
above approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h) .
For the pedestrian detection function, the FEB
with pedestrian detection system operates at
Starting and driving5-87

5-88Starting and driving
speeds between 6 – 37 MPH (10 – 60 km/h) .
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
FEB with pedestrian detection system will firstly
provide the warning to the driver by flashing the
warning (yellow) in the vehicle information dis-
play and providing an audible alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the FEB with
pedestrian detection system detects that there
is still the possibility of a forward collision, the
system will automatically increase the braking
force.
If the driver does not take action, the FEB with
pedestrian detection system issues the second
visual (flashing) (red) and audible warning. If the
driver releases the accelerator pedal, then the
system applies partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the
FEB with pedestrian detection system applies
harder braking automatically.
While the FEB with pedestrian detection system
is operating, you may hear the sound of brake
operation. This is normal and indicates that the
FEB with pedestrian detection system is oper-
ating properly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the FEB withpedestrian detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well as driving
and roadway conditions, the system may help
the driver avoid a forward collision or may help
mitigate the consequences of a collision should
one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB with pedestrian
detection system will function later or will not
function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
.When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary to avoid a collision.
.When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
.When there is no longer a vehicle or
pedestrian detected ahead.
If the FEB with pedestrian detection system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.

FEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the FEB with pedestrian detection
system. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system cannot detect all vehicles or
pedestrians under all conditions.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system does not detect the follow-
ing objects:
Starting and driving5-89

5-90Starting and driving
— Small pedestrians (including
small children) , animals and cy-
clists.
— Pedestrians in wheelchairs or
using mobile transport such as
scooters, child-operated toys, or
skateboards.
— Pedestrians who are seated or
otherwise not in a full upright
standing or walking position.
— Obstacles on the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
— Obstacles on the roadside
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system has some performance lim-
itations.
— If a stationary vehicle is in the
vehicle’s path, the FEB with
pedestrian detection system will
not function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 MPH (80 km/h) .
— For pedestrian detection, the
FEB with pedestrian detection
system will not function whenthe vehicle is driven at speeds
over approximately 37 MPH (60
km/h) or below approximately 6
MPH (10 km/h) .
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function for pedes-
trians in darkness or in tunnels,
even if there is street lighting in
the area.
.For pedestrians, the FEB with pe-
destrian detection system will not
issue the first warning.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if the
vehicle ahead is narrow (for exam-
ple a motorcycle) .
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if speed
difference between the two vehicles
is too small.
.The radar sensor may not function
properly or detect a vehicle ahead in
the following conditions:
— Poor visibility (conditions such
as rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sandstorms, and road spray
from other vehicles)— Driving on a steep downhill
slope or roads with sharp
curves.
— Driving on a bumpy road sur-
face, such as an uneven dirt
road.
— If dirt, ice, snow or other materi-
al is covering the radar sensor
area.
— Interference by other radar
sources.
.The camera may not function prop-
erly or detect a vehicle ahead in the
following conditions:
— The camera area of windshield
is fogged up, or covered with
dirt, water drops, ice, snow, etc.
— Strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams from on-
coming vehicles) enters the
front camera. Strong light
causes the area around the
pedestrian to be cast in a sha-
dow, making it difficult to see.
— A sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the
vehicle enters or exits a tunnel

or a shaded area or lightning
flashes.)
— The poor contrast of a person to
the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which
is similar to the background.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par-
tially obscured or unidentifiable
due to the pedestrian transport-
ing cargo, wearing bulky or very
loose-fitting clothing or acces-
sories.
.The system performance may de-
grade in the following conditions:
— The vehicle is driven on a slip-
pery road.
— The vehicle is driven on a slope.
— Excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the
cargo area of your vehicle.
.The system is designed to automa-
tically check the sensor (radar and
camera)’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not
detect blockage of sensor areas
covered by ice, snow or stickers,
for example. In these cases, thesystem may not be able to warn
the driver properly. Be sure that you
check, clean and clear sensor areas
regularly.
.In some road and traffic conditions,
the FEB system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When accel-
eration is necessary, depress the
accelerator pedal to override the
system.
.The FEB system may react a road-
side object (traffic sign, guard rail
etc.)
.Braking distances increase on slip-
pery surfaces.
.Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and the
chime may not be heard.
