Driving
WARNING
●Set the speed appropriately
according to the speed limit,
traffic flow, road conditions,
weather conditions, etc. The
driver is responsible for confirm-
ing the set speed.
●Even if the system is operating
correctly, the condition of a pre-
ceding vehicle as recognized by
the driver and detected by the
system may differ. Therefore, it
is necessary for the driver to
pay attention, assess risks, and
ensure safety. Over-reliance on
this system to drive the vehicle
safely may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious
injury.
■Precautions for the driving
assist systems
Observe the following precau-
tions, as there are limitations to
the assistance provided by the
system. Over-reliance on this sys-
tem may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Details of support provided for
the driver’s vision The dynamic
radar cruise control is only
intended to help the driver in
determining the distance
between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated preceding
vehicle. It is not a system which
allows for careless or inattentive
driving, and is not a system
which assists in poor visibility
conditions. The driver must pay
attention to their surroundings,
even when the vehicle stops.
●Details of suppor t provided for
the driver’s judgement The
dynamic radar cruise control
determines whether the dis-
tance between the driver’s own
vehicle and a designated pre-
ceding vehicle is within a set
range. It is not capable of mak-
ing any other type of judgement.
Therefore, it is absolutely nec-
essary for the driver to remain
vigilant and to determine
whether or not t here is a possi-
bility of danger.
●Details of suppor t provided for
the driver’s operation The
dynamic radar cruise control
does not include functions
which will prevent or avoid colli-
sions with vehicles ahead of
your vehicle. Ther efore, if there
is ever any possibility of danger,
the driver must take immediate
and direct control of the vehicle
and act appropriately in order to
ensure safety.
■Situations in which the
dynamic radar cruise control
should not be used
Do not use the d ynamic radar
cruise control in the following situ-
ations. As the system will not be
able to provide appropriate con-
trol, using it may lead to an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Roads where there are pedes-
trians, cyclists, etc.
●When driving on a highway or
expressway entrance or exit
●When the approach warning
sounds frequently
●Situations in which the sensors
may not operate properly:
 P.263
●Situations in which the lane may
not be detected:  P.264

3145-4. Using the driving support systems
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
■Objects which the system may
not be properly detected
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it.
Pay particular attention to the follow-
ing objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials
that absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections
projecting outwards in the direc-
tion of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they
are wearing certain types of cloth-
ing.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly
detect objects. Particular instances
where this may occur are listed
below.
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or
ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the
sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the
area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a
sensor is frozen the sensor dis-
play may be displayed abnormally,
or objects, such as a wall, may not
be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle
detectors, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of ot her vehicles or
other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●If objects draw too close to the
sensor.
●When a pedestrian is wearing
clothing that does not reflect ultra-
sonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-
ers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpen-
dicular to the ground, not perpen-
dicular to the vehicle traveling
direction, uneven, or waving are in
the detection range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When an object that cannot be
detected is between the vehicle
and a detected object
●If an object such as a vehicle,
motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian
cuts in front of the vehicle or runs
out from the side of the vehicle
●If the orientation of a sensor has
been changed due to a collision or
other impact
●When equipment that may
obstruct a sensor is installed, such
as a towing eyelet, bumper pro-
tector (an additional trim strip,
etc.), bicycle car rier, or snow plow
●If the front of the v ehicle is raised
or lowered due to the carried load
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a
stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning
●When a tire chains, compact
spare tire or an emergency tire
puncture repair kit is used

WARNING
●Depending on the condition of
the road surface or the vehicle,
the distance between the vehi-
cle and a parking space, etc., it
may not be possible to detect a
parking space or the system
may not be able to provide
assistance to the point the vehi-
cle is fully parked.
●This system will guide the vehi-
cle to appropriate positions for
changing the direction of travel,
however, if you feel that the
vehicle is approaching too close
to an adjacent parked vehicle at
any time, depress the brake
pedal and change the shift posi-
tion. However, if this is per-
formed, the number of times the
vehicle changes direction may
increase, and the vehicle may
be parked at an angle.
●As following objects may not be
detected, make sure to check
the safety of the area around
your vehicle and depress the
brake pedal to stop the vehicle if
it may collide with an object.
• Thin objects such as wire, fences, rope, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi- als that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low objects (curb stones, park- ing blocks, etc.)
• Tall objects with upper sections that protrude outward
●Even if there is an object in the
target parking space, it may not
be detected and assistance
may be performed.
●While the system is operating, if
it is likely that your vehicle will
collide with a nearby vehicle,
parking block, object, or person,
depress the brake pedal to stop
the vehicle and press the
Advanced Park main switch to
disable the system.
●Never use only the multimedia
display to view the area behind
the vehicle. The image dis-
played may dif fer than the
actual situation. Using only the
screen when backing up may
lead to an accident, such as a
collision with another vehicle.
When backing up, make sure to
look directly or use the mirrors
to check the safe ty of the area
around your vehicle, especially
behind the vehicle.
●When the ambient temperature
is extremely low, the screen
may appear dark or the dis-
played image may become
unclear. Also, as moving objects
may appear distorted or may
not be able to be seen on the
screen, make sure to directly
check the safety of the area
around your vehicle.
In the following situations, while
the vehicle is stopped and held
by Advanced Park, it may be
canceled and th e vehicle may
start moving. Immediately
depress the brake pedal. Fail-
ure to do so may lead to an
accident.
• When the driver’s door is opened
• When operations instructed by the system are not performed
within a certain amount of time
• When the brake pedal is depressed and th e vehicle is
stopped for a certain amount of
time
