Situation in which the function
may not detect pedestrian
properly
The sensor may be limited when:
 The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the camera recognition function,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright.
 The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area.
 The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion function.
 The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sun-
light or in sun glare) or too dark.
(e.g. when driving on a dark rural
road at night)
 It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians, or a large crowd.  There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure
 The pedestrian is small.
 The pedestrian has impaired mobility.
 The sensor recognition is limited.
 The camera is blocked with a for- eign object or debris.
 Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the camera.
 When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such 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 suddenly appears
in front of the vehicle.
 There is any other electromagnetic interference.
