FEB WITH PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system.
Failure to operate the vehicle in accor-
dance with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
• The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem cannot detect all vehicles or pedes-
trians under all conditions.
•
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem does not detect the following objects:
–Pedestrians that are small (for ex-
ample, children), in a sitting position,
operating toys/skateboards, on
scooters or in wheelchairs, or not in an
upright standing or walking position.
– Animals of any size.
– Obstacles (for example, cargo or de- bris) on the roadway or roadside.
– Oncoming or crossing vehicles.
– Vehicles where the tires are difficult to see or the shape of the rear of the
vehicle is unclear or obstructed.
– Parked vehicles. •
The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem has some performance limitations.
– If a stationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the system will not func-
tion when the vehicle approaches the
stationary vehicle at speeds over ap-
proximately 50 mph (80 km/h).
– Pedestrian detection will not func-
tion when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over approximately 37 mph
(60 km/h) or below approximately 6
mph (10km/h).
• For pedestrians, the FEB with Pedes-
trian Detection system will not issue the
first warning.
• The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem may not function properly or detect
a vehicle or pedestrians ahead in the fol-
lowing conditions:
– In poor visibility conditions (such as
rain, snow, fog, dust storms, sand
storms, smoke, and road spray from
other vehicles).
– If dirt, ice, snow, fog or other material
is covering the radar sensor area or
camera area of windshield. –
If strong light (for example, sunlight
or high beams) enters the front cam-
era or a sudden change in brightness
occurs (for example, entering a tun-
nel or driving in lightning).
– In dark or dimly lit conditions, such as
at night or in tunnels, including cases
where your vehicle’s headlights are
off or dim, or the tail lights of the
vehicle ahead are off.
– When the direction of the camera is
misaligned.
– When driving on a steep downhill
slope, on roads with sharp curves,
and/or bumpy or dirt roads.
– If there is interference by other radar
sources.
– When your vehicle’s position or
movement is changed quickly or sig-
nificantly (for example, lane change,
turning vehicle, abrupt steering, sud-
den acceleration or deceleration).
Starting and driving5-133

–When your vehicle or the vehicle 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, ve-
hicle cutting in, changing lanes, mak-
ing a turn, steering abruptly, sudden
acceleration or deceleration).
– When the vehicle or pedestrian is off-
set from the vehicle’s forward path.
– If the speed difference between the
two vehicles is small.
– The pedestrian’s profile is partially
obscured or unidentifiable; for ex-
ample, due to transporting luggage,
pushing a stroller, wearing bulky or
very loose-fitting clothing or acces-
sories, or being in a unique posture
(such as raising 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, extremely low or high
clearance heights, or unusual cargo
loading or is narrow (for example, a
motorcycle). –
When the vehicle or pedestrian is lo-
cated near a traffic sign, a reflective
area (for example, water on road), or
is in a shadow.
– When multiple pedestrians are
grouped together.
– When the view of the pedestrian is
obscured by a vehicle or other object.
– While towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
• The system performance may degraded
in the following conditions:
– 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 automatically
check the sensor’s (radar and camera)
functionality, within 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 system 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 conditions, the
FEB with Pedestrian Detection system
may unexpectedly apply partial braking.
When acceleration is necessary, depress
the accelerator pedal to override the
system.
• The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem may operate when a pattern, object,
shadow or lights are detected that are
similar to the outline of vehicles or pe-
destrians, or if they are the same size and
position as a vehicle or motorcycle’s tail
lights.
• The system may keep operating when
the vehicle ahead is turning right or left.
• The system may operate when your ve-
hicle is approaching and passing a vehicle
ahead.
• Depending on the road shape (curved
road, entrance and exit of the curve,
winding road, lane regulation, under
construction, etc.), the system may op-
erate temporarily for the oncoming ve-
hicle in front of your vehicle.

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the FEB with Pedestrian Detection system.
Failure to operate the vehicle in accor-
dance with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
• The FEB with Pedestrian Detection sys-
tem may react to:
– objects on the roadside (traffic sign, guardrail, pedestrian, motorcycle,
vehicle, etc.)
– pedestrians when driving on the nar- row alleys, etc. – pedestrians who temporarily pro-
trude into or approaching the driving
lane to avoid the obstacles on the
road shoulder
– objects above road (low bridge, traf- fic sign, etc.)
– objects on the road surface (railroad track, grate, steel plate, etc.)
– objects in the parking garage (beam, pillar, etc.)
– pedestrians or motorcycles ap- proaching the travelling lane
– vehicles, pedestrians, motorcycles or objects in adjacent lanes or close to
the vehicle – oncoming pedestrians
– objects on the road (such as trees)
• Braking distances increase on slippery
surfaces.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The radar sensor is located on the front of the
vehicle
OB. The camera is located on the up-
per side of the windshield
OA.
To keep the FEB with Pedestrian Detection
system operating properly, be sure to ob-
serve the following:
• Always keep the sensor areas of the front bumper and windshield clean.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the sensors (e.g., bumper, windshield). • Do not cover or attach stickers, or install
any accessory near the sensors. This could
block sensor signals and/or cause failure or
malfunction.
• Do not attach metallic objects near the ra- dar sensor (brush guard, etc.). This could
cause failure or malfunction.
•
Do not place reflective materials, such as white
paper or a mirror, on the instrument panel. The
reflection of sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit's detection capability.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the PFCW system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The PFCW system can help warn the
driver before a collision occurs but will
not avoid a collision. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle ahead
in the same lane.
The PFCW system uses a radar sensor
O1
located on the front of the vehicle to measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same
lane.
