Driving
●When a detected vehicle turns while
approaching the vehicle
●When a vehicle passes by the side of your
vehicle
●When the distance between your vehicle
and metal objects, such as a guardrail,
wall, sign, or parked vehicle, which may
reflect electrical waves toward the rear of
the vehicle, is short
●When there are spinning objects near
your vehicle such as the fan of an air con-
ditioning unit
●When water is splashed or sprayed
toward the rear bumper, such as from a
sprinkler
■Situations in which the Parking Support
Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles)
may not operate properly
In some situations, such as the following, the
radar sensors may not detect an object and
this function may not operate properly
●Stationary objects
●When a sensor or the area around a sen-
sor is extremely hot or cold
●If the rear bumper is covered with ice,
snow, dirt, etc.

2984-5. Using the driving support systems
Brake function (rear pedestrians) differs
from the detection area of the RCD func-
tion (P.282). Therefore, even if the RCD
function detects a pedestrian and provides
an alert, the Parking Support Brake function
(rear pedestrians) may not start operating.
■Situations in which the system may not
operate properly
●Some pedestrians, such as the following,
may not be detected by the Parking Sup-
port Brake function (rear pedestrians),
preventing the function from operating
properly:
• Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting
• Pedestrians who are lying down
• Pedestrians who are running
• Pedestrians who suddenly enter the detection area
• People riding a bicycle, skateboard, or other light vehicle
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing such as a rain coat, long skirt, etc., making
their silhouette obscure
• Pedestrians whose body is partially hid- den by an object, such as a cart or
umbrella
• Pedestrians which are obscured by dark- ness, such as at night
●In some situations, such as the following,
pedestrians may not be detected by the
Parking Support Brake function (rear
pedestrians), preventing the function
from operating properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather
(rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are attached) or scratched
• When a very bright light, such as the sun, or the headlights of another vehicle,
shines directly into the rear camera
• When backing up in a place where the surrounding brightness changes sud-
denly, such as at the entrance or exit of a
garage or underground parking lot
• When backing up in a dim environment such as during dusk or in an underground
parking lot
●Even though there are no pedestrians in
the detection area, some objects, such as
the following, may be detected, possibly
causing the Parking Support Brake func- tion (rear pedestrians) to operate.
• Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or parked vehi-
cle
• Moving objects, such as a car or motor- cycle
• Objects moving toward your vehicle when backing up, such as flags or pud-
dles (or airborne matter, such as smoke,
steam, rain, or snow)
• Cobblestone or gravel roads, tram rails, road repairs, white lines, pedestrian
crossings, puddles or fallen leaves on the
road
• Metal covers (gratings), such as those
used for drainage ditches
• Objects reflected in a puddle or on a wet road surface
• The roadside or bumps on the road
•Shadows on the road
●In some situations, such as the following,
the Parking Support Brake function (rear
pedestrians) may operate even though
there are no pedestrians in the detection
area.
• When backing up toward the roadside or
a bump on the road
• If the vehicle is signif icantly tilted, such as
when carrying a heavy load
• When backing up toward an incline/decline
• If the suspension has been modified or
tires of a size othe r than specified are
installed
• If the rear of the vehicle is raised or low-
ered due to the carried load
• If an electronic component, such as a backlit license plate or rear fog light, is
installed near the rear camera
• If a bumper protector, such as an addi- tional trim strip, is installed to the rear
bumper
• If the orientation of the rear camera has been changed
• If a towing eyelet is in stalled to the rear of
the vehicle
• When water is flowing over the rear cam- era lens
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt,
snow, ice, etc. are at tached) or scratched
• If there is a flashing light in the detection
area, such as the emergency flashers of
another vehicle

3024-5. Using the driving support systems
To adjust the vehicle height to one
appropriate for road and driving con-
ditions, press the vehicle height adjust-
ment switch.
Turns high mode on/off.
When high mode is enabled, the high
mode indicator on the meter will illuminate.
The vehicle height will increase by approxi-
mately 0.8 in. (20 mm) from its normal
position.
When the vehicle height is increased by a
control of access mo de press the vehicle height adjustment switch twice to
enable/disable high mode.
■The vehicle height adjustment switch
can be used to change the mode when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
■System protection function
If the vehicle height is repeatedly increased
and decreased using the vehicle height
adjustment switch, etc., the system may not
operate temporarily.
In order to improve the ease of enter-
ing and exiting the vehicle, the vehicle
height will automatically increase when
the P shift position is selected and a
door is opened.
When any of the following conditions
are met, the vehicle will return to its
WARNING
• If the vehicle needs to be jacked up
• If the vehicle is to be tied down
• If the vehicle is to be towed
NOTICE
■Parking precaution
●If the vehicle is parked for a long time,
the vehicle height may change due to
changes in the ambient temperature.
When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the area above and below the
vehicle is clear, so that the vehicle will
not contact anything if its height
changes.
●Be careful when parking the vehicle in
an area with a low ceiling or near low
hanging objects, as the vehicle height
will increase when passengers exit the
vehicle and exit control of access
mode operates.
●When the doors are closed or locked,
the vehicle height may decrease.
When parking in a parking lot with a
device which raises to contact the bot-
tom of the vehicle, make sure to dis-
able the vehicle height control.

WARNING
■When operating the vehicle height
adjustment switch
When operating the vehicle height
adjustment switch, make sure to check
the safety of the area around the vehicle,
as the vehicle height may change and
part of someone’s body may be caught
under the vehicle, possibly causing injury.
