The system will operate in situations such as the following if an object
is detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
◆When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not
depressed, or is depressed late
Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS)
: If equipped
If a collision with an object ma y occur due to the vehicle sud-
denly moving forward due to an accidental accelerator pedal
operation, the vehicle moving th e unintended direction due to
the wrong shift position being se lected, or while parking or trav-
eling at low speeds, the sensors detect objects, such as a wall ,
in the traveling direction of t he vehicle, and the system opera tes
to lessen an impact with an object and reduce the resulting dam -
age.

■Re-enabling the Intellig ent 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. 320), 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 Intelligent Clearance Sonar function may not d etect
The sensors may not be able to detect certain objects, such as the following.
● Cotton cloth, snow, and other materials that are poor reflector s of ultrasonic
waves.
(People may also not be detected depending on the type of cloth ing they are
wearing.)
● Objects which are not perpendicular to the ground, are not perp endicular to
the traveling direction of the vehicle, are uneven or are wavin g.
● Low objects
● Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes and signposts
● Objects that are extremely close to the bumper
■ Situations in which the Intelligent Clearance Sonar may not ope rate
properly
When the shift lever is in N
■ Intuitive parking assist buzzer
Regardless of whether the intuitive parking assist system is en abled or not
( P. 309), if the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is enabled ( P. 320),
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.

■Re-enabling the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function
To re-enable the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function when it is disabled
while it is operating, either enable the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
again ( P. 320), or turn the power switch off and then back to ON mode.
When the function is disabled, the ICS OFF indicator will illum inate. (P. 99)
If there is no longer a vehicle approaching from the right or l eft at the rear of
the vehicle when backing up, or if the traveling direction of the vehicle
changes (such as changing from backing up to moving forward), the system
will be re-enabled automatically. When the function is re-enabl ed, the ICS
OFF indicator will turn off.
■ Conditions under which the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function will
not detect a vehicle
The Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function is not designed to d etect the fol-
lowing types of vehicles and/or objects:
● Vehicles approaching from directly behind
● Vehicles backing up in a parking space next to your vehicle
● Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles and similar stationar y objects
*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehicle
● Vehicles approaching from the parking spaces next to your vehic le
*
*
: Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or obj ect may
occur.
■ RCTA function buzzer
Regardless of whether the RCTA function is enabled or not ( P. 296), if the
Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function is enabled and brake con trol is per-
formed, a buzzer will sound to notify the driver. ● Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect
due to obstructions
● Vehicles which suddenly accelerate or
decelerate near your vehicle

parking spot
• Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect due to obstructions
• When backing up on a slope with a sharp change in grade
• When a vehicle turns into the detec- tion area
