■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
●In certain situations, such as the
following, a detectable object may
not be detected by the front sen-
sors, and the system may not
operate properly:
• When a detectable object is approaching your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object is wandering
• When a detectable object makes
an abrupt maneuver (such as sud-
den swerving, acceleration or
deceleration)
• When suddenly approaching a detectable object
• When the detectable object is
near a wall, fence, guardrail, man-
hole cover, steel plate on the road
surface, or another vehicle
• When there is a structure above a detectable object
• When part of a detectable object
is hidden by another object (large
luggage, umbrella, guardrail, etc.)
• When multiple det ectable objects
are overlapping
• When a bright light, such as the sun, is reflecting off of a detect-
able object
• When a detectable object is white and looks extremely bright
• When the color or brightness of a detectable object causes it to
blend in with its surroundings
• When a detectable object cuts in

be shifted: P. 1 6 1
■While towing (vehicles with a
towing eyelet)
If the engine is not running, the
power assist for the brakes and
steering will not function, making
steering and braking more difficult.
■Wheel nut wrench (vehicles
with a towing eyelet)
Wheel nut wrench is installed in
trunk. ( P.371)
Fluid leaks under the vehicle.
(Water dripping from the air
conditioning after use is nor-
mal.)
Flat-looking tires or uneven
tire wear
Engine coolant temperature
gauge needle continually
points higher than normal.
Changes in exhaust sound
Excessive tire squeal when
cornering
Strange noises related to the
suspension system
Pinging or other noises
related to the engine
Engine missing, stumbling or
running roughly
Appreciable loss of power
Vehicle pulls heavily to one
If you think something
