• If the driver operates the brake pedal during automatic braking, the pedal may
feel stiff; however, this is normal. By depressing the brake pedal further you
can apply more braking force.
Some unusual noises may be audible during automatic braking. This is caused
by the braking control and is normal.
■ Detection of pedestrians
The EyeSight system can also detect pedes-
trians. The EyeSight system detects pedestri-
ans from their size, shape and movement.
The system detects a pedestrian when the
contour of the head and shoulders are clear.
WARNING
The EyeSight system's Pre-Collision Braking function also identifies pedestrians
as obstacles. However, depending on the conditions, there may be cases when
the system cannot detect a pedestrian. In the following conditions, the possibility
that the system may not be able to detect a pedestrian as an object is
particularly high.
• When pedestrians are walking in a group
• When a pedestrian is next to a wall or other obstacle
• When a pedestrian is using an umbrella
• When a pedestrian is wearing clothes that are a similar color to the surround-
ing environment
• When a pedestrian is carrying bulky luggage
• When a pedestrian is bent over, crouching down or lying down
• When a pedestrian is in a dark location
• When a pedestrian suddenly crosses in front of you from the side or suddenly
runs in front of you
