Pedestrians
Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
If a vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely low speed, the system may not detect it
correctly.
If there is a structure on the road or an object (such as a monorail) at a low height off the
ground in front of the vehicle, the system may operate. Therefore, do not use the TJA.
Do not use the TJA under conditions in which close proximity warnings are frequently
activated.
If it is necessary to accelerate for a lane change or the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly
causing you to close in on the vehicle rapidly, accelerate using the accelerator pedal or
decelerate using the brake pedal depending on the conditions.
While the TJA is in use, any intended engine braking does not occur even if you shift the
selector lever. If deceleration is required, lower the vehicle speed setting or depress the
brake pedal.
While braking by the TJA control is operating, you might hear an operation sound,
however, this does not indicate a problem.
The brake lights turn on while braking by the TJA control is operating, however, they may
not turn on while the vehicle is on a down slope at the set vehicle speed or traveling at a
constant speed and following a vehicle ahead.
