Safety system of your vehicle
2
In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.

Driving your vehicle
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a vehicle in front of you merges
out of the lane, the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
immediately detect the new vehicle
that is now in front of you. In this case,
you must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance. Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If the vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward from
the cab, or when the vehicle in
front of you has higher ground
clearance, additional special atten-
tion is required. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
be able to detect the cargo extend-
ing from the vehicle. In these
instances, you must maintain a
safe braking distance from the
rearmost object, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
Detecting pedestrians orcyclists
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully detected by the front view camera
recognition system, for example, if
the pedestrian is leaning over or is
not fully walking upright
The pedestrian or cyclist is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in
the front view camera detectionarea
The pedestrian or cyclist is wear- ing clothing that easily blends into
the background, making it difficult
to be detected by the front view
camera recognition system
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural roadat night)
It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian or cyclist from
other objects in the surroundings,
for example, when there is a group
of pedestrians, cyclists or a large
crowd

There is an item similar to a per-son's body structure
The pedestrian or cyclist is small
The pedestrian has impaired mobility
The sensor recognition is limited
The front radar sensor or front view camera is blocked with a foreign
object or debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the front radar sensor or
front view camera
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surfacesuch as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-ed
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
You are on a roundabout
The pedestrian or cyclist suddenly interrupts in front of the vehicle
The cyclist in front is riding inter- sected with the driving direction
There is any other electromagnetic interference
The construction area, rail or other metal object is near the cyclist
The bicycle material is not reflected well on the front radar
In case of camera or radar sensor recognition is in a marginal state.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system may operate
when an object, which has
similar shape or characteris-
tic to a vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist, is detected.
FCA system is designed to
detect and monitor the vehicleahead or detect a pedestrian
or cyclist (if equipped) in the
roadway through radar sig-nals and camera recognition. It is not designed to detect
bicycles, motorcycles, or
smaller wheeled objects such
as luggage bags, shopping
carts, or strollers.
