activating your turn signal or, for
example, if a construction zone
directs traffic to cross an existing
lane marker. If this occurs you
may need to apply corrective
steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the I-LI may not activate
under the road, weather, and lane
marker conditions described in
this section, it may not activate
every time your vehicle begins to
leave its lane and you will need to
apply corrective steering.
. The I-LI system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37
MPH (60 km/h) or if it cannot
detect lane markers.
. When the I-LI system is operating,
avoid excessive or sudden steer-
ing maneuvers. Otherwise, you
could lose control of the vehicle.
. Do not use the I-LI system under
the following conditions as it may
not function properly:
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow. — When driving on winding or
uneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving without normal tire conditions (for example,
tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
— On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers;
lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-
standard lane markers; or
lane markers covered with
water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detect-
able. — On roads where there are
sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road re-
pairs. (The I-LI system could
detect these items as lane
markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with
the lane marker.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt ad- heres to the windshield in
front of the lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens
or if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
— When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For exam-
ple, the light directly shines on

.The radar sensors may not be
able to detect and activate BSW
when certain objects are present
such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the de- tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
— When overtaking several vehi- cles in a row, the vehicles after
the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling
close together. .
The radar sensor’s detection zone
is designed based on a standard
lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the radar sensors
may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed
to ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles. .
When towing a trailer or other
vehicle, turn the BSW system off
to prevent the occurrence of an
unexpected accident resulting
from sudden system operation.
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

radar sensors cannot detect
every object such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
or child operated toy vehicles
— A vehicle that passing at speeds greater than approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. The radar sensors may not detect

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open
roads with light traffic. It is not
advisable to use the system in
city traffic or congested areas.
. This system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the ICC sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other
bad weather. Decelerate the ve-
hicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of
the system. The system will can-
cel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To pre-
vent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake
pedal.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode of the ICC system may
not be able to maintain the se-
lected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some cir-
cumstances.
. The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions: — On roads where the traffic is
heavy or there are sharp
curves
— On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in over-
heating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
. Do not use the ICC system if you
are towing a trailer. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. You may need to control

the distance from other vehicles
using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using
the ICC system when it is not
recommended in this section.
The radar sensor will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary and slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane
The sensor generally detects the signals
returned from the vehicle ahead. There-
fore, if the sensor cannot detect the
reflection from the vehicle ahead, the
ICC system may not maintain the se-
lected distance.
The following are some conditions in
which the sensor cannot detect the
signals:
. When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the luggage
area of your vehicle
. When your vehicle is towing a trailer,
etc. The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitation of the system. When the
sensor is covered with dirt or is ob-
structed, the system will automatically
be canceled. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the ICC system may not detect them.
In these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode may not cancel
and may not be able to maintain the
selected following distance from the ve-
hicle ahead. Be sure to check and clean
the sensor regularly.

— When your vehicle or the ve-hicle or pedestrian ahead
moves quickly or significantly
such that the system cannot
detect and react in time (for
example, pedestrian moving
quickly toward the vehicle at
close range, vehicle cutting in,
changing lanes, making a
turn, steering abruptly, sud-
den acceleration or decelera-
tion).
— When the vehicle or pedes- trian is offset from the vehi-
cle’s forward path.
— If the speed difference be- tween the two vehicles is
small.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifi-
able; for example, due to
transporting luggage, push-
ing a stroller, wearing bulky
or very loose-fitting clothing
or accessories, or being in a
unique posture (such as rais-
ing hands).
— There is poor contrast of a person to the background,
such as having clothing color
or pattern which is similar to the background.
— For approximately 15 seconds after starting the engine
— If the vehicle ahead has a unique or unusual shape, ex-
tremely low or high clearance
heights, or unusual cargo
loading or is narrow (for ex-
ample, a motorcycle).
— When the vehicle or pedes- trian is located near a traffic
sign, a reflective area (for ex-
ample, water on road), or is in
a shadow.
— When multiple pedestrians are grouped together.
— When the view of the pedes- trian is obscured by a vehicle
or other object.
— While towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. The system performance may be
degraded in the following condi-
tions:
— The vehicle is driven on a
slippery road.
— The vehicle is driven on a slope. — Excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the
cargo area of your vehicle.
. The system is designed to auto-
matically check the sensor (radar
and camera)’s functionality, with-
in certain limitations. The system
may not detect some forms of
obstruction of the sensor area
such as ice, snow or stickers, for
example. In these cases, the sys-
tem may not be able to warn the
driver properly. Be sure that you
check, clean and clear sensor
areas regularly.
. In some road and traffic condi-
tions, the AEB with pedestrian
detection system may unexpect-
edly apply partial braking. When
acceleration is necessary, de-
press the accelerator pedal to
override the system.
. The AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system may operate when a
pattern, object, shadow or lights
are detected that are similar to
the outline of vehicles or pedes-
trians, or if they are the same size
and position as a vehicle or mo-
torcycle’s tail lights.
