Under the following conditions, the Steer-
ing Assist cancels, and the Steering Assist
status indicator and the Steering Assist in-
dicator turn off:
• When unusual lane markers appear in thetraveling lane or when the lane marker
cannot be correctly detected for some
time due to certain conditions (for ex-
ample, a snow rut, the reflection of light on
a rainy day, the presence of several un-
clear lane markers)
• When the windshield wiper operates in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steering
Assist is disabled when the wiper oper-
ates for more than approximately
10 seconds)
Action to take:
Turn the ICC system off using the CANCEL
switch. When the conditions listed above
are no longer present, turn the ICC system

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the AEB
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The AEB system is a supplemental aid to the driver. It is not a replace-
ment for the driver’s attention to
traffic conditions or responsibility to
drive safely. It cannot prevent acci-
dents due to carelessness or dan-
gerous driving techniques.
• The AEB system does not function in all driving, traffic, weather and road
conditions. The AEB system can assist the driver when
there is a risk of a forward collision with the
vehicle ahead in the traveling lane.
The AEB system uses a radar sensor
A
located on the front of the vehicle to mea-
sure the distance to the vehicle ahead in
the same lane.

tions for the AEB system. Failure to op-
erate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result
in serious injury or death.
• The AEB system cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensor does not detect the following objects: – Pedestrians, animals or obstacles
in the roadway.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Crossing vehicles.
• The radar sensor has some perfor- mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicles’s path, the AEB
system will not function when the
vehicle is driven at speeds over ap-
proximately 50 mph (80 km/h).
•
The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering the radar sensor.
–
Interference by other radar sources.– Snow or road spray from traveling vehicles.

children), animals and cyclists.
– Pedestrians in wheelchairs or us-ing 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.
– Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
– Obstacles on the roadside • The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system has some performance limi-
tations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the ve-hicle’s path, the AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system will not
function when the vehicle is
driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 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 approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h) or below
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system will not function for pedes-
trians in darkness or in tunnels, even
if there is street lighting in the area.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may not function if the ve-
hicle ahead is narrow (for example, a
motorcycle).
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection system may not function if speed
difference between the two vehicles
is too small. • The radar sensor AEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system may not
function properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
– Poor visibility (conditions such asrain, snow, fog, dust storms, sand-
storms, and road spray from other
vehicles)

Interference by other radar sources.– The camera area of windshield is fogged up, or covered with dirt,
water drops, ice, snow, etc.
– Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming ve-
hicles) 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 brightness occurs (for example, when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or a
shaded area or lightning flashes).
