O The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen, the screen may show an
abnormal display, or objects may not be detected.
O The sensor is covered in any way.
O On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass
O When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of ot her vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle.
O A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
O If objects draw too close to the sensor.
O When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves
(ex. skirts with gathers or frills).
O When objects that are not perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the detection range.
O Strong wind is blowing.
O When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
O When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object.
O If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front
of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle.
O If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other
impact.
O When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or
snow plow.
O If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.
O If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunctioning.
O When tire chains, a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit are used.
O When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold

Q Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
In some situations, such as the following, the system may operate even
though there is no possibility of a collision.
O When driving toward a banner, flag, low-hanging branch or boom barrier
(such as those used at railroad crossings, toll gates and parking lots).
O When there is a rut or hole in the surface of the road.
O When driving on a metal cover (grating), such as those used for drainage
ditches.
O When driving up or down a steep slope.
O If a sensor is hit by a large amount of water, such as when driving on a
flooded road.
O There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors
will resolve this problem.)
O A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
O When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
O When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of ot her vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle.
O If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.
O If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other
impact.
O The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
O Driving close to columns (H-shaped steel beams, etc.) in multi-story parking
garages, construction sites, etc.
O When driving on a narrow road.
O When strong winds are blowing.
