Pre-Collision Braking System
24
Ÿ Continued from previous page
• When 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.
• When there is a wall, etc. in front of a stopped vehicle
• When there is another object near the vehicle
• When a vehicle, etc. has it’s side facing you.
• With vehicles that are backing up or with oncoming vehicles, etc.
• When 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
• When the detected object is a fence or wall, etc.
with a uniform pattern (a
striped pattern or brick
pattern, etc.)
• When there is a wall or
door made of glass or a
mirror in front
• When the vehicle in front suddenly swerves, accel-
erates, or decelerates.
• When a vehicle, motorcy- cle, bicycle or pedestrian
suddenly cuts in from the
side or suddenly runs in
front of you.
• When you suddenly change lanes and your vehicle is immediately
behind an obstacle
• When there is a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian in a location close to your vehicle’s bumper
• When the speed difference between your vehicle and an obstacle is 4
MPH (5 km/h) or less (As braking is performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle, depending on the shape and size of the
obstacle, there may be some cases when the obstacle is outside the
range of the cameras’ field of vision.)

Pre-Collision Throttle Management
63
Continued on next page Ÿ
x
If 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.
x Pre-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:• Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick fog)
• When visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air
• When light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night
• In a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
• When there is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights
• When affected by strong light from the front (for example sunlight at sunrise or sunset headlight beams, etc.)
• When there is snow, frost, dirt or dust on the windshield, or it is clouded
• When fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after use of the window washer
• When obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water droplets from rain or the washer, or the wiper blades obstructing the stereo cam-
eras’ field of view
• When the stereo cameras’ field of view is obstructed (for example by a canoe on the roof of the vehicle)
• With low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
• When the size and height of an obstacle is smaller than the limitations of the stereo cameras’ recognition capability
• With small animals or children.
• With pedestrians who are sitting or lying down
• When 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.
