■Examples of limitations on the correct detection of the camera due to the condition of
the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicles, pedestrians, or moving bicycles
• The distance between your vehicle an d the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming
vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle ahead of you is too short.
• The vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle
suddenly cuts in front of or jumps out in front of you.
• The bicycle is stopped.
• The oncoming vehicle or vehicle ahead of you is sideways or facing diagonally.
• When the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle
blends in with the background, preventing the system from recognizing them.
• When several pedestrians are moving ahead of you in a group.
• When several bicycles are movi ng ahead of you in a group.
• When a pedestrian or moving bicycle crosses the road too quickly.
• A pedestrian or moving bicycle approaches from the opposite direction.
• The headlights of the vehicle ahead of you or oncoming vehicle are lit on one side
or not lit on either side in a dark place.
• When part of a pedestrian (heads, limbs, etc.) is hidden by load.
• When a pedestrian is bent over or squatt ing, when their hands are raised, or they
are running.
• When the pedestrian is shorter than about 3.3 feet (1 meter) or taller than about
6.6 feet (2 meters) in height.
• When the pedestrian is pu shing a stroller or bicycle.
1Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Make sure that all the tires are of the same specified
size, type and brand, and that they are evenly worn.
If you use tires of different sizes, types, brands, or
degree of wear, the syst em may not work properly.
Do not modify the suspensi on. Altering the height of
the vehicle may prevent the system from working
properly.

■Examples of other limitations on detection or system operation
• When the vehicle ahead of you is a small motorcycle, motorcycle with a sidecar,
wheelchair, or other sp ecially shaped vehicle.
• When a vehicle is lower in the rear than the front such as trucks that are not
carrying a load, or a narrow vehicle.
• When the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrian or moving bicycle
is not in front of the vehicle.
• The speed difference between your ve hicle and the vehicle ahead of you,
oncoming vehicle, pedestrian or moving bicycle is significantly large.
• When the vehicle or moving bicycle in front of you slows suddenly.
• When the driver operates the brake peda l and steering wheel to avoid a collision.
• When you approach the vehicle ahead of you, oncoming vehicle, pedestrians or
moving bicycles while accelerating rapidly or operating the steering wheel (except
when turning left at an intersection etc.)
*1
•When the moving bicycle is a child-sized bi cycle, folding bicycle, three-wheeler or
other bicycle with small tires, or a long bicycle like a tandem bicycle.
• When the camera cannot correctly identify the shape of the vehicle ahead of you,
oncoming vehicle, pedestrian, or moving bicycle.
• When the minimum ground clearance of a vehicle ahead of you is extremely high.
*1: When there is a possibility of a frontal co llision with the oncoming vehicle while turning
left, the CMBSTM is activated. However, it may not be activated if you suddenly turn the
steering wheel.

■Automatic shutoff
The CMBSTM may automatically shut itself o ff and the safety support indicator
(amber) comes and stays on when:
• You drive off-road or on a mountain road, or curved and wi nding road for an
extended period.
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Driving with the parking brake applied.
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals,
accessories, stickers, or film on the windshield.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected (incorrect tire size, flat tire, etc.).
Once the conditions that caused the CMBS
TM to shut off improve or are addressed
(e.g., cleaning), the system comes back on.

Even if there is little chance of a collision, the CMBSTM may activate under the
following conditions.
Also, the system may activate if it detects a possibility of collision with pedestrians,
moving bicycles, or vehicles.
• Your vehicle approaches or passes another vehicle that is making a left or right
turn.
• Your vehicle approaches another vehicle ahead of you and you change lanes to
pass.

• When your vehicle approaches vehicles , pedestrians, or moving bicycles.
• When vehicles, pedestrians, or moving bicycles are passing in front of you.
• When you drive under a low structure or through a narrow gate at high speed.
• When there are traffic signs or structures such as guard rails are beside the road
along a curve.
• When driving through curves, your vehicl e comes to a point where the oncoming
vehicle is right in front of you.
• When approaching stationary vehicles or walls, such as when parking.

Driving
Low Speed Braking Control*
Using sonar sensors located on the front an d rear bumpers, and the front grille, this
system detects if there is danger of a poten tial collision with a wall or other obstacle
during normal driving or when the accelerator pedal is depres sed with too much
force. The system then assists in avoiding collisions and reducing damage from
impact through assistive braking and/or assistive driving power suppression.
1Low Speed Braking Control*
If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a
situation where you do not want automatic brake
application (such as when the vehicle is between two
railroad crossing gates), si mply press the brake pedal
to deactivate the system and then continue to drive
as intended.
3WARNING
The Low Speed Braking Control System
cannot avoid all collisions and may not
reduce damage in each situation where the
accelerator is mistaken ly or aggressively
pressed. Overreliance on the system may
result in a collision with serious injury or
death. Always check your surroundings,
your shift position, and your pedal use.
Driver remains responsible for safely
operating the vehicle.

■Assistive braking
Assistive braking provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving
between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of
a collision with a detected wall or other ob stacles, as well as providing assistance
with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usin g the parking sensor system, the assistive
braking will not work when reversing.

■How the System Works1Low Speed Braking Control*
For directions on the prop er handling of the sonar
sensors, please refer to the following page.
2 Sonar Sensors
* P. 655
The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a
few seconds after the system is activated. To keep the
vehicle stopped, keep the brake pedal depressed or
put the transmission into
( P.
In order to prevent the sy stem from activating when
not needed, always turn it off during vehicle
maintenance, when loading on ships, trucks, and so
on, or when using a chassis dynamometer, free
rollers for inspection or when washing the car in
conveyor type car wash machine.
If you put any accessories (such as a bicycle rack) on
or around the rear sensors, the Low Speed Braking
Control System may activate if it detects these
accessories as an obstacle. In this case, turn off the
rear sensor.

■Assistive driving power suppression
When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an
obstacle such as a wall detected near the front of or back of the vehicle, if the
accelerator pedal is depressed more than necessary, the system wi ll inform you with
a visual and audible alert. At the same ti me, the system will prevent sudden forward
or backwards movement by limiting the output of the engine, then assistive braking
will activate when you ge t closer to the obstacle.
Assistive driving power suppression will not activate in the fo llowing situations.
When moving forward:
When on a steep slope or the shift position is in
(P, (R, or (N.
When reversing:
When on a steep slope or the shift po sition is in a position other than
(R.
If the only rear sensors are turned off usi ng the parking sensor system, the assistive
driving power suppression will not work when reversing.
