– Driving on a steep downhill slopeor roads with sharp curves.
– Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road.
– If dirt, ice, snow or other material is covering the radar sensor area.
– Interference by other radar sources.
– The camera area of the 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 oc- curs. (For example, when the ve-
hicle 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 partially
obscured or unidentifiable due to
the pedestrian transporting lug-
gage, wearing bulky or very loose-
fitting clothing or accessories.
∙ The system performance may de- grade in the following conditions:
– 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 trunk
room of your vehicle.
∙ The system is designed to automati- cally check the sensor’s (radar and
camera) functionality, within certain
limitations. The system may not de-
tect blockage of sensor 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 conditions,
the AEB with Pedestrian Detection
system may unexpectedly apply par-
tial braking. When acceleration is nec-
essary, depress the accelerator pedal
to override the system.
∙ Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the I-FCW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The I-FCW system cannot detect allvehicles under all conditions.
∙ The radar sensor does not detect the following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway – Oncoming vehicles
– Crossing vehicles
∙ (Illustration A) The I-FCW system does not function when a vehicle ahead is a
narrow vehicle, such as a motorcycle.
∙ The radar sensor may not detect a ve- hicle ahead in the following
conditions:
– Snow or heavy rain
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material covering the radar sensor. – Interference by other radar
sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling vehicles.
– Driving in a tunnel
– (Illustration B) When the vehicle ahead is being towed.
– (Illustration C) When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too close,
the beam of the radar sensor is
obstructed.
