5-108Starting and driving
cast in a shadow, making it diffi-
cult to see.
— A sudden change in brightness
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 pattern which is
similar to the background.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par-
tially obscured or unidentifiable
due to the pedestrian transport-
ing luggage, wearing bulky or very
loose-fitting clothing or acces-
sories.
.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 of your vehicle.
.The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor (radar and
camera)’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not
detect blockage of sensor areas cov-ered 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 FEB with pedestrian detection
system may unexpectedly apply par-
tial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, depress the accelerator
pedal to override the system.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may operate when the fol-
lowing are similar to the outlines of
vehicles or pedestrians, or if they are
the same size and position as a
vehicle’s tail lights.
— Paint or a pattern on the road or
a wall (including faded and unu-
sual road markings).
— A shape formed by road struc-
tures ahead (such as tunnels,
viaducts, traffic signs, reflectors
installed on the side of vehicles,
reflection sheets, and guardrails).
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may react to:
— Obstacles on the roadside (traffic
sign, guardrail, pedestrian, vehi-
cle, etc.)
— Obstacles above road (low
bridge, traffic sign, etc.)
— Obstacles on the road surface
(railroad track, grate, steel plate,
etc.)
— Obstacles in the parking garage
(beam, etc.)
— Pedestrians approaching the tra-
veling lane
— Vehicles, pedestrians or objects in
adjacent lane or close to the
vehicle
— Oncoming pedestrians
.Braking distances increase on slip-
pery surfaces.
