— If there is interference byother radar sources.
— When your vehicle’s position or movement is changed
quickly or significantly (for
example, lane change, turning
vehicle, abrupt steering, sud-
den acceleration or decelera-
tion).
— When your vehicle or the ve- hicle, pedestrian or cyclist
ahead moves quickly or sig-
nificantly such that the sys-
tem cannot detect and react
in time (for example, pedes-
trian moving quickly toward
the vehicle at close range,
vehicle cutting in, changing
lanes, making a turn, steering
abruptly, sudden acceleration
or deceleration).
— When the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is offset from the
vehicle’s forward path.
— If the speed difference be- tween the two vehicles is
small.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifi-
able; for example, due to transporting luggage, push-
ing a stroller, wearing bulky
or very loose-fitting clothing
or accessories, or being in a
unique posture (such as rais-
ing hands).
— There is poor contrast of a person to the background,
such as having clothing color
or pattern which is similar to
the background.
— For approximately 15 seconds after starting the engine
— If the vehicle ahead has a unique or unusual shape, ex-
tremely low or high clearance
heights, or unusual cargo
loading or is narrow (for ex-
ample, a motorcycle).
— When the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is located near a
traffic sign, a reflective area
(for example, water on road),
or is in a shadow.
— When multiple pedestrians or cyclists are grouped together.
— When the view of the pedes- trian or cyclist is obscured by
a vehicle or other object. — While towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
. The system performance may be
degraded in the following condi-
tions:
— 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
cargo area of your vehicle.
. The system is designed to auto-
matically check the sensor (radar
and camera)’s functionality, with-
in certain limitations. The system
may not detect some forms of
obstruction of the sensor area
such as ice, snow or stickers, for
example. In these cases, the sys-
tem 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 condi-
tions, the AEB with pedestrian
detection system may unexpect-
edly apply partial braking. When
acceleration is necessary, de-
press the accelerator pedal to
