4-5. Using the driving support systems
• When there are many things which
can reflect the radio waves of the radar in the vicinity (tunnels, truss bridges, gravel roads, snow covered
road that have tracks, etc.) • When there is an effect on the radio waves to the radar that is installed on
another vehicle • When multiple detectable objects are close together
• If the sun or other light is shining directly on a detectable object• When a detectable object is a shade
of white and looks extremely bright • When a detectable object appears to be nearly the same color or brightness
as its surroundings • If a detectable object cuts or suddenly emerges in front of your vehicle
• When the front of your vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc.• When a very bright light ahead, such
as the sun or the headlights of oncom- ing traffic, shines directly into the front camera
• When approaching the side or front of a vehicle ahead• If a vehicle ahead is a motorcycle or
bicycle (for region C) • If a vehicle ahead is narrow, such as a personal mobility vehicle
• If a preceding vehicle has a small rear end, such as an unloaded truck• If a preceding vehicle has a low rear
end, such as a low bed trailer
• If a vehicle ahead has extremely high
ground clearance
• If a vehicle ahead is carrying a load
which protrudes past its rear bumper • If a vehicle ahead is irregularly shaped, such as a tractor or side car
• For region A and B: If a vehicle ahead is a child sized bicycle, a bicycle that is carrying a large load, a bicycle rid-
den by more than one person, or a uniquely shaped bicycle (bicycle with a child seat, tandem bicycle, etc.)
• For region A and B: If a pedestrian/or the riding height of a bicyclist ahead is shorter than approximately 1 m (3.2
ft.) or taller than approximately 2 m (6.5 ft.)• For region A and B: If a pedes-
trian/bicyclist is wearing oversized clothing (a rain coat, long skirt, etc.), making their silhouette obscure
• For region A and B: If a pedestrian is bending forward or squatting or bicy-clist is bending forward
• For region A and B: If a pedes- trian/bicyclist is moving fast• For region A and B: If a pedestrian is
pushing a stroller, wheelchair, bicycle or other vehicle• When driving in inclement weather
such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm• When driving through steam or smoke
• When the surrounding area is dim, such as at dawn or dusk, or while at night or in a tunnel, making a detect-
able object appear to be nearly the same color as its surroundings• When driving in a place where the sur-
rounding brightness changes sud- denly, such as at the entrance or exit of a tunnel
• After the hybrid system has started the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
●When your vehicle is pointing
upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage compartment, etc.)
●Preceding vehicle has an extremely high ground clearance
■Conditions under which the vehi-cle-to-vehicle distance control mode may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions, operate the brake pedal (or accelerator pedal, depending on the situation) as
necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to cor- rectly detect vehicles ahead, the system
may not operate properly.
●When the road curves or when the
lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or
your position in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you decel-
erates suddenly
●When driving on a road surrounded by
a structure, such as in a tunnel or on a bridge
●While the vehicle speed is decreasing to the set speed after the vehicle accelerates by depressing the accel-
erator pedal

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-
tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic 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.
●Pedestrians wearing clothes which
only partially reflect ultrasonic waves (ex skirts with gathers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpendicu-lar to the ground, not perpendicular 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, motor-cycle, 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 protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow
●If the front of the vehicle 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
■Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil-ity of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow- ing, the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●When driving on a narrow road
●When driving toward a banner, flag, low-hanging branch or boom barrier
(such as those used at railroad cross- ings, toll gates and parking lots)
●When there is a rut or hole in the sur-face of the road
●When driving on a metal cover (grat-ing), such as those used for drainage ditches
●When driving up or down a steep slope
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount of water, such as when driving on a
flooded road
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice
on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
●When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When strong winds are blowing

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
2WD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
the front wheels raised or with all four
wheels raised off the ground. If the
vehicle is towed with the front wheels
contacting the ground, the drivetrain
and related parts may be damaged or
electricity generated by the operation
of the motor may cause a fire to occur
depending on the nature of the dam-
age or malfunction.
AWD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
all four wheels raised off the ground. If
the vehicle is towed with the tires con-
tacting the ground, the drivetrain or
related parts may be damaged, the
vehicle may fly off the truck, or elec-
tricity generated by the operation of
the motor may cause a fire to occur
depending on the nature of the dam-
age or malfunction.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift
type truck
●Vehicles with steering lock function: Do not tow the vehicle from the rear
when the power switch is off. The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front
wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure
adequate ground clearance for tow- ing at the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Without adequate clear-
ance, the vehicle could be dam- aged while being towed.
