◆When the accelerator pedal is depressed excessively
◆When the vehicle moves in the unintended direction due to the
wrong shift position being selected

3144-5. Using the driving support systems
If a radar sensor detects a vehicle approaching from the right or left at
the rear of the vehicle and a collision may occur, this function will per-
form brake control to reduce the likelihood of an impact with the
approaching vehicle.
■Examples of system operation
The system will operate in situati ons such as the following if an
object is detected in the trav eling direction of the vehicle.
◆When reversing, a vehicle is approaching and the brake pedal
is not depressed, or is depressed late

If the hybrid system output restri ction control or brake control oper-
ates, a buzzer will so und and a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display to alert the driver.
Depending on the situation, hybrid system output restriction control will
operate to either limit acceleration or restrict output as much as possible.

Driving
If the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function detects that a collision with
an object is possible, the hybrid system output will be restricted to
restrain any increase in the vehi cle speed. (Hybrid system output
restriction control: See A below.)
Additionally, if the accelerator pedal continues to be depressed, the
brakes will be applied automatically to reduce the vehicle speed.
(Brake control: See B below.)

■The Intelligent Clearance Sonar function will operate when
The function will operate when the ICS OFF indicator is not illuminated or
flashing ( →P. 315, 323) and all of the following conditions are met:
● Hybrid system output restriction control
• The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is enabled.
• The vehicle speed is 10 mph (15 km/h) or less.
• There is an object in the traveling direction of the vehicle and 6 to 13 ft. (2
to 4 m) away.
• The system determines that a stronger-than-normal brake operation is
necessary to avoid a collision.
● Brake control
• Hybrid system output restriction control is operating.
• The system determines that an emergency brake operation is necessary
to avoid a collision.
■ The Intelligent Clearance Sonar function will stop operating when
The function will stop operating if any of the following conditions are met:
●Hybrid system output restriction control
• The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is disabled.
• The collision becomes avoidable with normal brake operation.
• The object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away in the traveling direction
of the vehicle.
● Brake control
• The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is disabled.
• Approximately 2 seconds elapse after the vehicle is stopped by brake
control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by brake con-
trol.
• The object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■ Detection range of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function
The detection range of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function differs from
the detection range of the intuitive parking assist. ( →P. 307)
Therefore, even if the intuitive parking assist detects an object and provides a
warning, the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function may not start operating.
■ If the Intelligent Clearance So nar function has operated
If the vehicle is stopped due to operation of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar
function, the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system will be disabled and the ICS
OFF indicator will illuminate.

3204-5. Using the driving support systems
■Re-enabling the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
To re-enable the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system when it is disabled due
to operation of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar function, either enable the sys-
tem again (→P. 315), or turn the power switch off and then back to ON mode.
Additionally, if the object becomes no longer in the traveling direction of the
vehicle or if the traveling direction of the vehicle changes (such as changing
from moving forward to backing up, or from backing up to moving forward),
the system will be re-enabled automatically.
■ Objects that the Inte lligent Clearance Sonar function may not detect
The sensors may not be able to detect certain objects, such as the following.
● Cotton cloth, snow, and other materials that are poor reflectors of ultrasonic
waves.
(People may also not be detected depending on the type of clothing they are
wearing.)
● Objects which are not perpendicular to the ground, are not perpendicular to
the traveling direction of the vehicle, are uneven or are waving.
● Low objects
● Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes and signposts
● Objects that are extremely close to the bumper
■ Intuitive parking assist buzzer
Regardless of whether the intuitive parking assist system is enabled or not
(→P. 304), if the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is enabled ( →P. 315),
the front or rear sensors detect an object and brake control is performed, the
intuitive parking assist buzzer will sound to notify the driver of the approxi-
mate distance to the object.
