Limitations of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system

■
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, taking care to
●
observe your surroundings. The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is designed to
provide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not operate in
some situations.
The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is not designed to stop the vehicle com-
●
pletely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary to
depress the brake pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds.

To ensure the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system can operate properly

■
Observe the following precautions regarding the sensors (→P. 344). Failure to do so
may cause a sensor to not operate properly, and may cause an accident.
Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●
Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●
Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
●
Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
●
Observe the following precautions regarding the radar sensors (→P. 323). Failure to
do so may cause a radar sensor to not operate properly, and may cause an accident.
Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●
Do not replace a radar sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●
Do not subject a radar sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
●
Do not damage the radar sensors, and always keep the radar sensors and their sur-
●
rounding area on the bumper clean.

Handling the suspension

■
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or inclination of the vehicle may
prevent the sensors from detecting objects correctly or cause the system to not oper-
ate or operate unnecessarily.
