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 system indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You
will have to manually control the proper
distance away from the vehicle travel-
ing ahead.

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
SYSTEM OPERATION
The AEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem will function when your vehicle is
driven at speeds above approximately 3
MPH (5 km/h).
For the pedestrian detection function, the
AEB with pedestrian detection system
operates at speeds between 6 – 37 MPH
(10 – 60 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB with pedestrian detection system
will firstly provide the warning to the
driver by flashing the warning (yellow) in
the vehicle information display and pro-
viding an audible alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the AEB
with pedestrian detection system detects
that there is still the possibility of a
forward collision, the system will auto-
matically increase the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the AEB
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 immi-
nent, the AEB with pedestrian detection
system applies harder braking automati-

cally.
While the AEB with pedestrian detection
system is operating, you may hear the
sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the AEB with pedes-
trian detection system is operating prop-
erly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the AEB with
pedestrian 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 AEB
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 de-
pressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle or
pedestrian detected ahead. If the AEB with pedestrian detection
system has stopped the vehicle, the
vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the AEB with pedestrian
detection system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in
serious injury or death.
.The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system cannot detect all
vehicles or pedestrians under all
conditions.
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system does not detect the
following objects:
— Small pedestrians (including
small children), animals and
cyclists.
— 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 AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system has some perfor-
mance limitations.
— If a stationary vehicle is in the
vehicle’s path, the AEB with
pedestrian detection system
will not function when the
vehicle is driven at speeds
over approximately 50 MPH
(80 km/h).
— For pedestrian detection, the AEB with pedestrian detection
system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds
over approximately 37 MPH
(60 km/h) or below approxi-
mately 6 MPH (10 km/h).
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system may not function for
pedestrians in darkness or in
tunnels, even if there is street
lighting in the area.
. For pedestrians, the AEB with
pedestrian detection system will
not issue the first warning. .
The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system may not function if
the vehicle ahead is narrow (for
example a motorcycle).
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system may not function if
speed difference between the
two vehicles is too small.
. The radar sensor may not func-
tion 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 ma- terial is covering the radar
sensor area.
— Interference by other radar sources.
. The camera may not function
properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
— The camera area of wind-shield 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
shadow, making it difficult to
see.
— A sudden change in bright- ness 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 pat-
tern which is similar to the
background.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifi-
able due to the pedestrian
transporting cargo, wearing
bulky or very loose-fitting
clothing or accessories.
. The system performance may
degrade in the following condi- tions:
— The vehicle is driven on a
slippery 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 auto-
matically check the sensor (radar
and camera)’s functionality, with-
in certain limitations. The system
may not detect blockage of sen-
sor areas covered by ice, snow or
stickers, for example. In these
cases, the system 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 condi-
tions, the AEB system may unex-
pectedly apply partial braking.
When acceleration is necessary,
depress the accelerator pedal to
override the system.
. The AEB system may react a
roadside object (traffic sign,
guard rail etc.)
. Braking distances increase on
slippery surfaces. .
Excessive noise will interfere with
the warning chime sound, and
the chime may not be heard.
