2384-5. Using the driving support systems
QSituations in which the system may not
operate properly
OSome pedestrians, such as the following,
may not be detected by the rear camera
detection function, preventing the func-
tion 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
OIn some situations, such as the following,
pedestrians may not be detected by the
rear camera detection function, prevent-
ing 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
• When the camera position and direction are deviated
• When a towing hook is attached
• When water droplets are flowing on the camera lens
• When the vehicle height is extremely
changed (nose up, nose down)
• When tire chains or an emergency tire
puncture repair kit are used
QSituations in which the system may
operate unexpectedly
OEven though there are no pedestrians in the detection area, some objects, such as
the following, may be detected, possibly
causing the rear camera detection func-
tion 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 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
•Shadows on the road
OIn some situations, such as the following,
the rear camera detection function may
operate even though there are no pedes-
trians in the detection area.
• When backing up toward the roadside or
a bump on the road
• When backing up toward an incline/decline
• If the rear of the vehicle is raised or low- ered due to the carried load
• 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 due to a collision or other
impact, or removal and installation
• If a towing eyelet is installed 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 attached) or scratched
• If there is a flashing light in the detection
area, such as the emergency flashers of
another vehicle
• When tire chains or an emergency tire puncture repair kit are used.
OSituations in which the rear camera
detection function may be difficult to
notice
• The buzzer may be difficult to hear if the surrounding area is noisy, the volume of

pedestrians in the detection area
behind the vehicle when backing up.
(  P.251)
WARNING
QCautions regarding the use of the
system
Do not overly rely on the system, as
doing so may lead to an accident.
Always drive while checking the safety of
the surroundings of the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and road con-
ditions, weather, etc., the system may not
operate.
The detection capabilities of sensors and
radars are limited. Always drive while
checking the safety of the surroundings
of the vehicle.
OThe driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive carefully, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The Parking Support Brake system is
designed to provide support to lessen
the severity of collisions. However, it
may not operate in some situations.
OThe Parking Support Brake system is
not designed to stop the vehicle com-
pletely. Additionally, even if the system
has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary
to depress the brake pedal immedi-
ately as brake control will be canceled
after approximately 2 seconds.
OIt is extremely dangerous to check the
system operations by intentionally
driving the vehicle in to the direction of
a wall, etc. Never attempt such actions.
QWhen to disable the Parking Support
Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake as the system
may operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision.
OWhen inspecting the vehicle using a
chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free
roller.
OWhen loading the vehicle onto a boat,
truck or other transport vessel.
OIf the suspension has been modified or
tires of a size other than specified are
installed.
OIf the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load.
OWhen equipment that may obstruct a
sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier,
or snow plow.
OWhen using automatic car washing
devices.
OIf the vehicle cannot be driven in a sta-
ble manner, such as when the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunc-
tioning.
OWhen the vehicle is driven in a sporty
manner or off-road.
OWhen the tires are not properly
inflated.
OWhen the tires are very worn.
OWhen tire chains, a compact spare tire
or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit are used.
